RSSPregnant Decisions and Personal Reflections
Gene Lalor | November 4, 2009
With Obamacare steadily slithering its way through Congress, guided by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and certain to incorporate taxpayer-funded abortion as a “health care” feature, it’s time to reflect on what that provision will mean.
Mormon Reid and Catholic Pelosi, both of whose religions regard abortion as an abomination, are un-deterred by their respective church’s prohibitions. That’s a problem they will eventually have to deal with.
A problem all Americans will soon have to deal with is what the passage of government-sponsored abortion will mean, not to Pelosi or Reid, but to the average Nancy or Harry.
That question is the subject of this mini-dissertation.
………………………………………………………………………………..
Let’s say you’re a woman who abandoned discretion, or a young girl who got carried away one steamy night with that month’s true love, or a college kid who conferred more benefits on her friend than either of you anticipated and as a result you got pregnant.
Where do you go? What do you do?
Ghostbusters are not an option since you haven’t conceived some phantom but a precious human child. 
And, let’s say you have an innate antipathy toward the thought of murdering a sentient being who, by no choice of his or her own, happens to be comfortably nestled within your body.
What do you do?
Well, there’s always the latest craze, the “morning after” pill. Also termed “Plan B” or “Emergency Contraception,” it’s relatively inexpensive but must be prescribed by a doctor if you’re under 17.
However, Plan B is actually a two-step abortafacient, that is, an abortion remedy which will kill the tiny product of your indiscretion, your baby, and may cause severe short- and long-term emotional and physical repercussions.
Then there’s the more traditional method of killing your baby, having an abortion by going to a clinic or a Planned Parenthood facility–which makes millions from the business of executing the pre-born.
PP will gladly accept your money, as it does government money, and apply it to its various programs designed to foster even more pregnancies to keep its figurative cash registers ka-chinging.
Obamacare’s abortion provisions and allowances will not only keep PP prospering in its bloody business but will protect your wallet in that they will make abortion a real bargain.
(Ironically, the most ardent Obama and Obamacare fans, African-Americans, stand to be most damaged by taxpayer-funded abortion. Blacks are already disproportionately aborting their progeny in what some have called “Black genocide” and a “countdown to extinction:” http://bit.ly/qvdve.)
Then there’s the adoption option in which you carry your baby to term, give birth, and turn him or her over to strangers with the hope they will give your child a better life than you could.
The adoption option is almost as tough a call as the abortion choices. For some, it’s even more difficult since you carried the baby for 9 months, endured labor and gave birth; you may even briefly see and hold your baby before those strangers take over.
To some, aborting is a less emotionally-wrenching, immediate choice but a choice that’s fatal to the child and the extended psychic pain you probably will suffer–maybe for the rest of your life–is worth considering as a detrimental factor.
There are always exceptions, of course, such as the self-described “abortion addict” who proudly and vindictively aborted 15 of her pre-born babies in 17 years primarily to punish her first husband.
To emphasize her pride and her lack of a soul, 40 year old Irene Vilar just published a ”memoir” about her victims, Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict: http://bit.ly/AwGAA.
Twisted people like that aside–women using abortion as birth control– it’s not a smart deal. Married at 16 to a 50 year old professor, Ms. Vilar’s life has been punctuated by “several suicide attempts.”
Studies have shown that in at least 2% of induced abortions, women suffer both minor and major physical effects ranging from infections to cervical damage to hemorrhaging to convulsions.
Research has shown that in 3-5% of abortions, “women have been left inadvertently sterile:” (http://bit.ly/1mq62m) The jury is still out on whether aborting a baby can result in a greater incidence of breast cancer later in life.
To do the math, 2% of America’s annual abortion totals equals approximately 20,000 repercussions, 3-5% equals 30,000 to 50,000 sterilities.
Neither are good numbers if you plan on a long, happy and healthy life and a family.
An alternative to all of the above is to bear and keep the child, an alternative replete with any number of ramifications, from financial, college, and career implications to the sheer challenge of bringing up, nurturing, and supporting baby for 18 years or more.
Bristol Palin, eldest daughter of former Governor Sarah Palin, courageously elected to do just that with her son, Tripp, although she admittedly has resources and family support not always available.
None of the choices are easy. If anything, snuffing out a life is probably the easiest choice in terms of expedience and it remains for the mother to decide which route to take.
Hopefully, that decision will be made in conjunction with the father or sperm donor who bears financial responsibility for your baby. If he fails to live up to that responsibility, you could foolishly let him just walk away or require him to do the right thing with the aid of an attorney.
If the conception was the result of forcible or statutory rape, it becomes a legal matter and should be reported to the authorities.
I had a discussion recently with a dear friend on this subject. An abortion opponent, she nevertheless contended, generously and liberally, that she could never impose her personal beliefs on someone else.
That’s the same hypocritical cop-out employed by gutless politicians.
When I asked if that liberality extended to a serial murderer or a pedophile, she retracted the sentiment.
As an elder male who has reared 3 children to adulthood, in a sense I feel unqualified and inadequate to offer suggestions and impose my personal feelings on a girl or woman who has intentionally or unintentionally conceived a baby.
On the other hand, like condemning a convicted serial rapist/killer such as Ted Bundy or a less well known child predator such as Dennis McCarthy, to remain silent after a recorded 50,000,000 abortions in America since Roe v Wade would be equivalent to condoning or denying the extermination of 6,000,000 Jews and 6,000,000 non-Jews in Hitler’s Holocaust.
The American abortion holocaust has claimed at least 38,000,000 more victims than the Holocaust. That’s quite a few innocent souls squandered in the interests of “a woman’s choice,” a choice not afforded to pre-born males or females.
A more philosophical and ambiguous effect of 50,000,000 abortions, and counting, extends to a society’s collective subconscious. The coarsening of a nation’s soul contributes to a general societal disregard for the value of life, which effect can be seen in the violence and mindless killing in America today.
So, yes, I should speak my paltry piece in defense of the pre-born. It’s also a defense of America’s soul, a concept foreign to the architects of Obamacare.
