In this beautiful country called America the land of the free, the home of the brave, it’s the place where everyone wants to live. It’s a place where immigrants risk their lives and the lives of their families to escape too because of the opportunities and the freedom of choice, but is it really free? When you are born here, you are blessed to have so many choices. The choice to dream. The choice to decide what you want to be when you grow up and how you want to follow that path to get there. The choice to say “yes to the dress” and marry who you want. The choice to move and live where you want. The choice to go to a restaurant and order what you want to eat or stay home and cook what you want to eat. The choice to change your mind. So many CHOICES, CHOICES, and more CHOICES…… until someone decided they had the power to take your choice away. Someone decided that they had the power to determine what you do with your body. Can you believe it? Someone has decided that what they feel and think you should do with your body that you live and care for, nurture and groom, love or hate, flaunt or hide every day is more important than what you feel to a point where it’s not even up for debate it’s a done deal really?

Yes I know there are mixed views and opinions about abortions. Whether it’s right or whether it’s wrong, whether it’s necessary or a cop-out, whether we should or shouldn’t, but that’s not what this is really about, it’s about a choice. I heard a great preacher say that “opinions are only relevant until they are proven wrong.” Do I think abortions are right? No I don’t, but I think it’s a choice. We all have made decisions that we knew were wrong but it was what we either thought was best at the time or chose to do knowing that we would have to deal with the consequences. Yes if we lay down and have sex we know there can be several outcomes, such as satisfaction or dis-satisfaction, STD’s, guilt, shame, personal condemnation, and pregnancy just to name a few. With satisfaction the world says it’s okay to smile and enjoy the feeling. . With dis-satisfaction the world says it’s okay to shake it off forget about it and either try again or keep it pushing. With STD’s the world says it’s okay to go get treated and get rid of the infection so that you are back to “normal” again. Even with contracting AID’s, the world decided to tell their secret and share medicine so that you are able to survive and live with it. With guilt and shame the world says it’s okay to forget about it, it’s in the past hold your head up and try not to make that mistake again. With condemnation the world says you can pray for genuine forgiveness and go and sin no more. With pregnancy the world says…..nope to bad so sad, deal with it. Really? Yes it is horrible to think of that as a way out in MY opinion, yes it’s horrible to use that as birth control in MY opinion, yes it’s horrible to use that to cover the sin you committed in MY opinion, but at the end of the day I don’t have to sacrifice, cloth, feed, care for, mold, live a good example in front of, instill proper morals and principles, work to take care of, or deny myself so that child can have, you do. The person with the consequence does. It’s easy for someone to point the finger and say what the other should or shouldn’t do when they aren’t in that situation. It’s easy for them to force their opinion on you when they aren’t the ones dealing with it. It’s easier for someone to make you feel little for thinking different from them when their mind may be stronger than yours in certain situations. It’s easy for someone to make you feel less than when your opinion is not their opinion when they are afforded different opportunities. It’s easy for someone to make choices for you when they don’t have to make the same EXACT choice themselves. What happens when all of these kids are birthed to these illegitimate people? Do we go back to seeing/hearing reports on the news about botched abortions and women dying of having permanent health issues as a result that they can’t afford? Do we go back to finding babies behind dumpsters? Do we continue to over crowd Fostercare/Adoption programs and take a risk hoping and praying to find them loving homes, versus those who just want a paycheck or them growing up in the system that the government slacks on the funding for and they never get a home or loving family? Do we continue to add to the ridiculously enormous number of people who are on public assistance because they can’t afford life as it is? Is this really about abortion or is this really about giving someone the power to take away our choices so that they can keep us oppressed? It’s not a racial thing, it’s not the “white man” it’s MAN period. Whether it’s a MAN or woMAN of any race making a choice for us. Once we give them the power to take away our choice which also takes away our voice and then what? They want us to look at the small picture in essence so that we can’t see the big picture and what’s really going on. How is it that my rapist gets less time than I do if I abort the child conceived from my rape? How is it that my molester gets less time IF any if I abort a child conceived out of being molested or from the act of incest? How is it that a murder can get off from a technicality but because I may CHOOSE to not bring a child in this world I’m severely punished? How is it that if I abort my child I’m dammed but the gentleman that helped create the child can just walk away with a slap on the wrist called “child support?”

Yes I may choose to lay down and have sex and the consequence of that choice may be pregnancy, now it’s a DIFFERENT situation that requires another choice, I’m pregnant do/can I keep it or not? Either way I live with the consequences of all of my choices not you. It’s funny because our currency which makes the world go round says in God we trust, but do we really? No God does not like abortion as He doesn’t like ANY sin, but He wants us to CHOOSE Him freely so He gave us the free will to CHOOSE! If God doesn’t forced Himself and what He wants for us on us who are we to do so. Are we saying that we are more powerful than God? Of course not! So no MY body NOT your choice……MY BODY, MY CHOICE!!!!
