In Thailand, abortions are illegal except in cases where:
-The woman is raped
-The pregnancy affects her health
-Or the fetus is abnormal
Recently, (or I guess as recent as today?) roughly 2,000 aborted fetuses (fetusi?) were found in the mortuary of a Buddhist temple as an attempt to conceal illegal abortions.
So, yeah I guess people with a pro-life stance have a realistic outlook and plan for the way the United States should regulate abortions.
Except...we've just seen a case where abortions are illegal and, yet abortions still happened. The conditions of the abortions were probably totally unsafe and were more than likely performed by a less-than-qualified doctor. All too often, people confuse being pro-choice with being pro-death, but people need to understand that there is probably nothing more "American" than believing in the freedom of people to choose between getting an abortion or not. From looking at this case in Thailand it's clear that even if abortions are made illegal, abortions are going to happen. Instead of sweeping abortions under the welcome mat (or hiding them in a buddhist temple), we need to be more realistic and understand that if abortions are going to happen no matter what, there should at least be safe and sterile conditions for abortions to be performed under, and qualified doctors to perform them.
The arguments for abortion have pretty much been made over and over and if you'd just look at the issue reasonably and realistically it would be pretty obvious that being pro-choice is the right choice.
But nobody is going to make you choose that position. Fortunately you have the freedom of choosing a position on the matter. Pretty crazy.
What do you think of this whole "abortion" thing?
Here to stay or just a fad (like snap bracelets)?
Let me know in the comments section!

LESSONS FROM GOD ; What happens to a Baby's Soul after Abortion or Miscarriage
ReplyDelete(Please think about this then read the following)
One fine morning at home, I was chanting mantras when Sai Baba appeared and said ''Amarjit, come with me", we reappeared in a Temple with my wife also sitting next to me in the temple Hall.
Baba looked at us and said '' I have brought someone to meet you''
I said, "Baba 'who have you brought''
Baba said ''Look meet your other daughter''
I was totally confused ''Baba you are mistaken we have a daughter we do not have another, ''
'' AHA,! said Baba '' She is your other daughter, do you not, remember the trauma your wife suffered during miscarriage 15 years ago?"
I replied, "Baba, why have you brought her to see us''
I saw this girl standing next to us tall and very serene as if she had been touched by the hand of GOD!.
Baba said '' Amarjit, When the mother has a miscarriage or Abortion it is not automatic that the child's soul ascends, If the mother is constantly immersed in prayers then God intervenes and send Angels to take the Baby soul to Heaven/appropriate place, if not in prayers -- then the Baby soul can be trapped in Limbo, becoming a BHOOT/Spirit , and normally attaches itself to it's mother where it is home!
From the mothers body the Baby soul may cause untold Trauma to its Mother/father and all around. Many times the Soul has no idea that its body/temple has died! The soul watches everything the parents do and interferes with their emotions. Amarjit, this is why its important to immerse in God prayers always.
Amarjit, God has acknowledged your prayers & Devotion & intervened to take your baby soul Home!".
Baba then took hold of our daughters hand and the gates of Heaven opened and he disappeared with the Angels.
Its only when the Hand of God touches us we realise there is more to life then what we perceive.
We should open our senses and allow our Inner Godhead to awaken.
Baba says "I am God, You too are God but you fail to recognise this!
OM SAI RAM Amarjit
With Miscarriage and Abortions invariably the baby soul stays within the mothers Womb where it was conceived as it is home to it.
The mother has no idea why she has gone into depression after miscarriage or abortion. She has no idea it could be the Traumatic Soul stuck to her.
From the womb the Baby Soul then may choose to cause a lot of suffering to her host/ ie Mom and people around. If the baby Soul becomes possessive of the Mother then it will invariably become very jealous and act accordingly with the people attached to MOM!
With an Abortion / Miscarriage while it may be argued that the foetus has no soul in it in the early stages, it was shown to me by Baba that the foetus can be classified as a Phantom Living organism of the Mother similar to ' The Phantom Limb'.
So Aborting the foetus is similar to that of having a trauma when you loose part of your body, say the Limb , Kidney etc. The very fact of removing this living organism causes Untold trauma especially in the Mother.
Our body is the temple of God 'Do not defile your Temple'.
