Abortion

apparently, there is something there is something that is making its rounds on the internet. on this site called Tumblr, there is a post that seems to be having a lot of popularity. here it is:

Month One.

Hi Mommy!
I am only
¾ of an inch long,
But I have all my organs
I love the sound of your
voice.
Every time I hear it, I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your
heart beat
Is my favorite lullaby.

Mont Two.

Mommy,
Today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
You could
definitely tell that I am a baby.
I’m not big enough to survive outside my
home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three.

You know what Mommy,
I’m a boy!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don’t like it when you cry.
You
sound so sad.
It makes me sad too,
And I cry with you even though
You can’t hear me.

Month Four.

Mommy,
My hair is
starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
But I have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising,
I can turn my head and curly my
fingers and toes.
And stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good
at it too.

Month Five.

You went to the doctor today
Mommy,
he lied to you.
He said that I’m not a baby.
I am a baby, Mommy, your
baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what’s abortion?

Month Six.

I can hear that doctor again.
I don’t like him
He seems cold and
heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a
needle.
Mommy what is it?
It burns! Please make him stop!
I can’t
get away from it!
Mommy! Help me!

Month Seven.

Mommy, I am
okay.
I am in Jesus’s arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about
abortion.
Why didn’t you want me, Mommy?

Every abortion is just….
One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

the roomie's lil sis uses tumblr and had apparenly reblogged this onto her own. this seems to be the craze now. anyways, the roomie and i were pretty shocked and saddened. i mean, she's a 7th grader. そんな早い段階から考えを決めて欲しくない。多分、あんまりわからずにやったんだと思うけど。それでも。もうちょっと色々教わってからちゃんと自分で考えて結論を出して欲しい。

個人的には賛成でもないし、反対でもない。人にはそれぞれ事情があって、それなりに選択肢が必要なときがあると思う。そういうときに選択肢がないのはダメだと思う。it's that own person's right. there are different circumstances for different people and no one should be able to restrict someone like that.

i also think that post is 意地悪. i mean, it makes it seem like abortion is the worst thing a human can do in the world. and it's very inaccurate. the development of a fetus is not that fast. yet, by making it seem like it is, the post plays on the emotions of the reader. if they're gonna argue about abolishing abortion, they should at least get their facts straight.
