Living pro-life is more than talk

By the title of this column, I am very sure that most people will readily understand the underlying theme even before I begin, ...

But have you ever considered what each side says about themselves? Take for example those who call themselves "pro choice." They call themselves pro choice because they want you to believe that they have the woman's best interests at heart. But the truth is that to believe in this kind of choice, you must also believe that every murderer, thief, rapist and child molester has a right to act upon their choices and that victims are just out of luck.

With this said, it is time to consider those who call themselves "pro-life." In keeping with political correctness, it is fashionable these days to keep things positive in nature. Yet, they did not get in the battle because they were "for" life, but because they were against abortion. Thus, it would be more honest to call them anti-abortion, or anti-death, than pro life, regardless of the political climate....

Looking at this another way, doesn't the Bible teach us that it is wrong to judge another while we have a beam in our own eye? Are not we told to cast out the beam from our eye so that we can see clearly to cast the mote from our brother's?

A preacher telling it like it is. What a concept!

    Without getting too entrenched in an abortion disucssion, i think this assumption is a misrepresentation of a pro choice stance:

    The truth is that they want our young people to be free to engage in fornication without the consequences. They have no regard for marriage, neither for the children. They preach a gospel of hedonism, equip our young people with condoms and when all else fails, it’s just a fetus.

    The truth is that they accept that we are human and thus are subject to the very nature that makes us human. It has nothing to do with trying to skirt personal responsibility. It has nothing to do with hedonism. It has nothing to do with minimizing the sanctity of human life.

    It is a response to the reality of life. A response to the fact that we don't live in a perfect world. A world that seldom conforms to the ideals that each of us strives for. Pro life and pro choice are 2 different ways of dealing with those imperfections.

    Speaking as a "pro choicer" (though the terms really dont represent the full scope of my beliefs), I think abortion is a necessary evil. There should absolutely be an open discussion about it to insure that everything we do is in the interest of minimizing abortions, unwanted pregnancies, and risky behavior. This is where both sides need to come together and find common ground instead of attacking and misrepresenting each other.

    So now that i'm entrenched in an abortion comment, ill leave it there. I wish this issue was less divisive.
