Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay...heres the thing, I don't know about you guys, but I'm always thinkign about politics, my riligion, and abortion and my pro-life stance and how I can apporve it and take a more active role in it. ANy ways, heres what happened to me. WHile I was away I went to a buffet called Fire on the Mountain, while there, a family came in, a large one, I suppose they were having a family eat out. The youngest of the family came around the corner, and holding onto their hands inbetween them was a smiling little boy.

This boy was...physicly deformed. He had a much larger head then normal, swollen bones. His right eye was a little bigger then his right, but looked to work perfectly fine. His left leg was either lame or smaller then his right because he wallked with a limp. ANy ways...it nearly moved me to tears as I started thinking about it when I got home.

Here is this little boy, smiling, laughing, looking around at all the other people. He was perfectly normal all save for his physicle appearnce...at least what majority of the people would consider normal. And when I got to that thought, I started wondering if his parent had been recomended an abortion. We now live in a day and age where such alements (it really diudn't look like one form where I was sitting) can be seen before the child is even born. The child, with these physicle alements, would have been recomeneded to be aborted. If he had been a little younger he would have been born in a time were an abortion is practicly forced.

I'm sure he was aware of every thing about him, but at the time, this child, this little boy, that couples baby did not care. He was smiling, laughing, he even told a childish joke he had heard in school. He was enjoying life and every thing it offered him at that time. And his parents looked to theroughly love his enjoyment. And yet...I knew that organization like Planned Parenthood and Zero Population Gorwth and severle euginics groups would have wnated this child aborted, simply because he was physicly deformed.

His smiling and laughing and talkign with who I assumed were his grandparents told me that he enjoyed what he had. And it told me that others would (and did, since I am positive there are others like him) enjoy life, and smile, and laugh.

The enjoyment of lif. "But...my child my not like being what he is" or somthign to that degree. This is the problem with many, and most, pro-abortionist, they do not, or rarly tell the mother other wise. He will enjoy life, and he will love himself, even if others ignorantly do not.

This is why I nearly cryed the other day.

The reason why that those mentioned groups would rather abort a child than give them a chance at life and to be happy is because they do not value life or what this world has to offer. They view even economic hardship, let alone physical deformity as an appropriate reason to end somone's life. Your story is inpirational, but it does not sadden me, it only reconfirms my assurance at the ability of man to pull himself out of any situation with a positive attitude.

******** A man, just reading that moved me to tears.

But really, why can't he have a happy life although he is physically deformed. They automatically assume that no one will accept him for who he is jeust because he looks different. These people who tell the parents this have already not accepted this child as accepatble.

It's almost as if they want to select breed.

It's like Hitler all over again (Sadly though I am Aryan and get told I'm a nazi). Humans are humans no matter how horrible there life may or may not be. Hell that potential argument they spew should be applyied to this.

"Potential to have a bad life means nothing." Or somesuch bullshit along those lines.


On another note, I was yelled at yesterday for pleading a young woman who is pregnant, to not get an abortion. I was actually told to lay off and let her decide, as if abortion is the end all solution to pregnancy.

God forbid you take the actual responsibility of birthing the child and raising it rolleyes , but still I should have all the sex I want without having to deal with responsibility, and just running away rolleyes .

Or say, "Yes she is. Abortion is more responsible than pretending she isn't pregnant and then having a baby she can't afford."

Seriously though, read this if you want to get angry.
