Pro-life? Who isn't?

It's an issue that has been dealt with over and over again. And yes, I am one of those people who have a very strong opinion on the issue, and don't worry, I will tell you why.

I truly believe that abortion, in every way shape and form, is wrong. A baby is a living thing, at every moment during the pregnancy. When a woman has a miscarriage, she mourns the loss of her baby. Why? Because her baby was a living human, and the loss of a child is a very real thing for a mother.

What really gets to me is when women say that laws against abortion are supported by men who want control over a woman's body. This is a ridiculous statement. The basic lesson here: how a baby is made. Men play a very important in this process, and feel a very real bond to the baby, even before the child is born. It is not man's choice that women carry the child. So just because women have been blessed with this opportunity, they should control the situation? This is in no way fair to men at all. Father's have feelings, and should be a part of every decision concerning their children.

Just because women have the ability to bear children does not mean that they should control the child. Contrary to popular belief, a pregnant women does not own the baby inside her, it is the dependent child of two people, and a life in its own right.

Lawmakers are not trying to take away women's rights, or control them in any way, they are simply trying to save lives. That is what a fetus is, a life. So my belief is that there is no such thing as pro-life, because in essence, aren't we all pro-life? None of us go around killing people that are annoying or inconvenient to us because we choose to. We allow people to live, because most of us recognize that life is something that is precious, and not something to be taken lightly.

So abortion is wrong, plain and simple. End of story, We don't go around killing people on the streets, why should we be allowed to go around killing people who haven't even had the opportunity to walk yet?
