Abortion is another issue that is hitting the airwaves, heavy, no thanks to Rick (Hitler) Santorum. Once again we are fighting issues that are more liken to a woman, but men are telling them what they should do with their bodies no less. I’m as perplexed as the next guy how men are so cavalier to talk about women’s issues. What most amazes me is how woman are so silent, especially the church mice. Believe me when I tell you this…the church from main-line to non-denominational are pounding pulpits and quoting ambiguous Scriptures, “The man is the head of the wife, Wives submit to your husbands.” I understand the roles within the familial construct. Before I continue let me share a bit of humor, the wife of a politician told her husband, unless you change you position, you ain’t getting any.

Today, however, I will be rapping about the issue of abortion. My book God, the Bible and Politics (coming soon to this site) balances the question and answers it from both sides. I’m going to take some heat with the question; who is more culpable, the man or woman? Are there creeps parading around as good men, that question remains. Both parties have a line of defense when the other’s breaks down. Someone has to take the lead, the responsibility, and as society dictates the onus is going to be put squarely upon the woman.

For the heat, I don’t like abortion, I think it’s murder. Believe me when I say I’ve looked at every issue, read many books, studied the Bible. Remember firstly, this is my opinion and I respect and(expect) everyone else’s. We really shouldn’t have abortions if people took the proper precautions; I’ve never impregnated a wife when using what’s available. We covered the easiest part: RESPONSIBILITY.

On the issue of murder, I believe at conception it’s a life. Sure it may be a blob with no construct, but within that zygote is the DNA. Mostly I believe it’s a patient/doctor issue especially for the states that do offer this procedure. Yes, I’m in agreement with allowing for the heartbeat to be heard and to show a picture of the sonogram. I don’t like the idea of a vaginal probe, it should make men cringe at the idea if it were a procedure we had to undergo as standard practice. I don’t like the idea of the morning-after pill either, I understand it’s the same concept, it’s more of the idea of taking it as an emergency. I like how it is advertised as “accidents do happen.” It’s my personal gripe, so please don’t take it to heart. Overall it is a States Right’s issue( between the doctor and patient) and no one should be privy to that information.

In the end it should be up to the woman if she is single and should be discussed if she’s married or in a committed relationship. The Scriptures forbade the behavior of premarital sex, not for want of the enjoyment but because of the headaches later. Honestly, no one view should be thrust upon a woman and made into a law. I understand the conscience behind children being born and thrown aside. I thought we were a democratic society but we are behaving more like a tyrannical one. And to all the Bible thumpers, the Bible is silent about the issue. You can find Scriptures that mildly pertain to the issue at hand but you really have to grasp for straws.

Lastly, women stand up and be counted and don’t let men, husbands manipulate you for regretting a decision you didn’t make. I’m for freedoms based on solid decisions and rationale, not DOGMA, and overall abortion shouldn’t be used as a form of birth control.
