Let's talk about Abortion.

Abortion is a very known and controversial subject, especially in America.
Disclaimer: My views do not reflect 100% of the views of our other writers on the Conservative Herald. We generally have the same view on abortion, with some differences.

When you abort a baby, you are not destroying a ball of cells, and you are not aborting a fetus. You are killing a child. You are killing a living, breathing thing. You are killing the potential for a future for someone. Life begins when the sperm meets the egg, and that is a scientific fact. That is a living organism. Granted, at that stage, it is not capable of thinking, but it is a living thing, nonetheless. Leonardo Da Vinci, Ernest Hemingway, and Mesut Ozil, all started out as a tiny little zygote.

Sounds like I'm pro life, right?

Well, sort of. I am pro life, in moral terms. I wish we wouldn't have to live in a world where the potential for accidental pregnancies existed, and I wish that couples would take better caution when having sex. But alas, we do not live in such a world. I am pro choice, and I am pro life. I think abortion is disgusting, immoral, and wrong, but a woman needs to have the right to choose, from up to two months, in my humble opinion.

After two months, the baby begins to look like a human. How can you say to yourself, as a mother, "Its been two months, and now its starting to look like a human. Because I have now decided that having a child is inconvenient for me, I'm going to kill it."
To all of you telling me a mother might not know by two months if she's pregnant, take that logic elsewhere. A woman knows by six weeks, most likely earlier. If a woman is having sex, it is her responsibility to take regular birth tests. If you are not responsible enough to take regular birth tests, you are damn sure not responsible enough to take the life of a potential human being. Contraceptives are available everywhere for little to no cost. If there are no planned parenthoods near you, I am sure that there are many institutions that give out free contraceptives.
By 60 days, if you haven't made up your mind, that's awful. This isn't a plant you can just uproot. You should not kill a baby just because its inconvenient for you. You can, due to very relaxed laws in some states. I applaud John Kasich for decreasing the time to get an abortion down to 6 weeks. That's a good compromise. Women who live in Ohio: You aren't being oppressed, stop whining. He isn't taking the right away from you, he's just making you think and practice protected sex. God forbid, he's saving some lives. What a monster, huh?

Not all contraceptives are 100% effective, and I completely understand that. By banning abortion, you would be taking that right away from responsible couples who use contraceptives as well. Condoms break, the pill doesn't always work, diaphragms are sometimes faulty, etc. It would be wrong to take that right away, but I'm damn sure that it isn't wrong to limit the time.

I want you to tell us in the comments. Have you seen a late term abortion? Why don't you look up a video of a doctor crushing a baby's skull, and sucking out its innards. Why don't you look at that and say, "Wow, that's totally okay, that should be legal." If you look at that and say to yourself that that's okay, quite frankly, I find that despicable. Did you know babies can feel pain once their brain is fully formed? Did you know that they feel pain much more intensely inside the womb than outside the womb? Did you know that sometimes, due to mistakes in the abortion process, the baby is sometimes aborted outside of the womb? That is murder, in my opinion.

Much of the leftist media thinks that anyone who dares challenge the right to have an abortion 6 months in, has an "agenda" to "ban all abortion". No, I do not want to ban all abortion. I do not want to take that right away, and that will never happen. I guarantee, you'll have the right to kill your kids as much as you want.

Ladies, I am not demonizing you for having an abortion. I understand that sometimes you can't afford to have a child, and the psychological pain endured when putting a baby up for adoption is unbearable. You are not a bad person for having an abortion. You are a bad person for waiting months and months to have one. I know its a hard decision, but for the sake of the child, make up your mind before it can think. Please. Its not fair to you, and its especially not fair to the baby.

Feel free to disagree. I'm all ears.
