Baby No More
by Article speaks for itself.
I woke today to turn on the computer to run upon a news article that at first I thought was some kind of joke or something, did not think that it could be real. As I followed through and clicked on the link it took me to a page that talk about how some scientists found a small bottle that floated in from the San Francisco Bay and it had a small human fetus in it, with what seemed like a preserving liquid. I was shocked at what was washed ashore, but then realized, it probably came from some doctors office who did an abortion and kept the fetus as s souvenir for some reason, they did not know more then that at the time I had finished reading.
But this made me think of a similar but bit different subject. I started looking up info about abortions, and I decided was not going to repeat all the horrible statistics on here, but they figure there are more abortions each year in the world then they are soldiers being killed at home and away. The rate has gone down a bit, but it is still rated as the highest killer in the United States.
I understand that a woman wants to own her own body, and make her own choices, but at the same time, why are they not taking better precautions to not become pregnant, why are they just up and going for sex, when they don’t think of the consequences after. My God, I was watching a TV show the other night, and I swear there was at least 6 commercials for Extenze on it. Why encourage people with such commercials, or an over abundant of them. Make the young boys want to go and get them and try them out.
I, myself, do believe, that once you conceive, that child is a human being, it is a part of you, you are now a parent if you like it or not. I know they have their choices to keep it, or they go to abortions, and have the child taken from them. But what really sickens me, is the ones who have the child, and leave it in a trash can, throw it away like a pile of trash, bury them in a small shallow grave that is dug up by animals, toss them away if small enough as if it was just a bug they squashed and tossed aside.

Nicely written. There are many couples, who for whatever reason, cannot have children. They would give the child a happy home.
it is sad, that many people don’t consider a child a child until after it’s born.

First of all, let me say, my children were real to me from the moment of conception, and I grieved deeply over my one miscarriage. I was unwed with my oldest, and he has grown up to be a wonderful young man who is a loving husband and father. Having said that, there are circumstances under which a young woman may be too afraid or ignorant to deal with the social censure that goes with having a baby out of wedlock. Depending upon the society of which she is a member, admitting to a pregnancy without benefit of marriage, may threaten her social standing, even threaten her life. There are worse things than death coming quickly and early; abuse, malnutrition, and abandonment being among those things. On the other hand, I would not want to be the person who had to live with causing the death of any child under any circumstances. I was sickened by the murder of the young pregnant woman and her baby. I consider it a symptom of just how wrong our society has become.

Thanks for the comments and different views on the subject. I also had my first child alone and out of wedlock, and I was almost talked into an abortion by friends pressuring me, but I thank God that my own personal morals would not let me do it. I figured I would raise him myself if I had to. I did finally marry his father, not best reason, but I would also not give anything to change having and keeping him. But deep down, I feel that if I could not of done it, I would of given him to a good home, or adoption. I understand teens are scared and confused, I definitely was, I just wish there was more information out there for the teens who feel then cannot continue to raise the child. I understand they have chosen to abort, and so be that decision. I just hope that the ones who do have the child, somehow, somewhere, they get the information to turn it in to someone, without questions being asked, instead of tossing it out like trash

There’s a 7 year wait to adopt babies in Saskatchewan, Canada. There are SO many people in the world that are waiting patiently to complete their families.
That fetus in a bottle could have been a loving couple’s son or daughter. These kind of stories infuriate me.

A very difficult and emotive subject well written.
