because that is about five months. That is only around the time that, you know they are fully formed living beings and is the late cut off to the Legal abortion . I do understand its my opinion that abortion is horrid murder.. but I think the other side of the coin is through hefty desensitizing of certain points of humanity... Even forty years ago if you described the act and all of the relevent data a non christian would have reacted with horror. See there are hundreds of family's looking to adopt , programs and agency's that will care for a child.. but the right to kill the child if you have one when you dont think you are ready or if you are have too many offspring " MUST" be protected.
"there are hundreds of family's looking to adopt , programs and agency's that will care for a child"
That may be so today but don't forget that outlawing abortion would result in over one million additional babies each and every year. I suggest you research adoption agencies and orphanages in the past, agencies that ran before legalized abortion. It's not a pretty picture. There are also documentaries interviewing today's adults who were "wards of the State". Sexual and psychological abuse was rampant.
The interviewees, then children, recalled being scorned because they were not chosen for adoption. As they grew older and saw younger children being adopted the idea no one wanted them became instilled in their mind. They had no self-esteem which, among other things, led many to accept abusive relationshps later in life. To many, it was better to be wanted and abused than not wanted at all.
Like anything else if abortion was outlawed the "market" would be flooded with children and we already know how some people think of children. (Let's teach them the work ethic by having them clean school toilets.)
Also, children were a desired commodity in the past due to the rural lifestyle. An additional pair of hands, regardless of size, were an asset on the family farm. Then there were the household chores before electric stoves and diswashers and other labor saving devices. Small hands could bring in stove wood and wash dishes, feed the chickens, weed the garden and sort apples. There was no shortage of child labor jobs. And when it came to temporary fostering governments would supply a stipend. Not only free labor but a little cash, too.
A neighbor I grew up with was fostered for a number of years. Never legally adopted. Never accepted into the family. Bullied by the sons of the couple. Even at age 10 or 12 I was able to emphasize as it was obvious he had little joy in his life. He's dead now. Helicopter crash in northern BC, I'm told.
Abortion is not a pleasant event but neither is a life of hell.
If you haven't looked into orphanages and seen interviews of the adults, who as children experienced it, I suggest you do so. Then consider society's views, today, towards the poor and those with emotional problems.
