Abortion Is Very Much A "Black And White" Discussion

I recently posted this meme on Facebook concerning abortion. Because of my faith in Jesus Christ and the living God of the creation, I have quite strong feelings about abortion. The taking of any life is a most serious matter in this world. The following is a response from a Facebook “friend” to the meme I posted.

Tell that to the women who are denied healthcare because the doctors are afraid they will be convicted. It’s just NOT as simple as black and white.

My response to Jim W – 10/28/2024

I deeply believe that it just is a lot more black and white than you must think. The sheer numbers of abortions reveal that the procedure of killing unborn babies is being used as "birth control" far more than to save lives, as convenience rather than responsibility. 

As with the slave owners from 175 years ago and prior:

1. Slaves were not seen as human.
2. Slaves were the property of their owners.
3. Owners could do whatever they wanted to their property, the slaves. 

Much of the discussion gets befuddled because the definitions of terms have been hijacked and messed up. 
> PRO-CHOICE - This sounds really good, a lot like FREEDOM, but babies don't get any choice!!!
> HEALTH CARE - We all believe in having health care available to all, equally. BUT KILLING BABIES IS USUALLY NOT HEALTH CARE - There are many doctors who attest that abortions are rarely absolutely necessary for either the mother or the child in the womb.

It is a far deeper discussion than simply saying that abortion is “health care,” and a matter of each individual’s “choice.”

As a side note, a very disproportionate number of abortions are performed for blacks in our country. It is indeed very much BLACK AND WHITE! Here is a quote, to be found at the link below.

"Black women have been experiencing induced abortions at a rate nearly 4 times that of White women for at least 3 decades, and likely much longer. The impact in years of potential life lost, given abortion’s high incidence and racially skewed distribution, indicates that it is the most demographically consequential occurrence for the minority population. The science community has refused to engage on the subject and the popular media has essentially ignored it. In the current unfolding environment, there may be no better metric for the value of Black lives.” 

The article goes on to say, “While induced abortion remains a contentious political issue, there is no credible scientific doubt that a unique human life begins at conception and, therefore, ends with an abortion. Even the Obama administration and the abortion-friendly Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have acknowledged “the critical importance of a child’s first 1,000 days after conception in determining a healthy and productive life trajectory…to ensure that all children…have an equal opportunity to survive and thrive.”¹

“Yet, the evidence is clear that for many decades Black children in the United States have not had, and do not have today, an equal opportunity to survive until birth.”

God help you and all those who believe in abortion as a right much like speech, religion, voting, and other rights outlined and protected by our Constitution! Without life, there would be no liberty or the pursuit of happiness and property.
