Abortion is a symptom of a fundamental human error. An error of thinking that when anything stands in the way of our wants, which we label as ‘needs’, we can justify getting that person or thing removed from our lives. Abortion ultimately stems from the poisonous root we are all too familiar with, selfishness.
Every day a miracle happens, actually not just one, but 353,000. That's right, that number is how many lives are born each day in the world. Typically, this is a very exciting moment for all, but we know the most excited at this moment is(are) the parent(s).If we take a step back, one can't help but notice a certain look, that look in a mother’s eyes, the look of nothing but utter love and care. After all this time her child she has carried and nurtured for those long sacrificial months has now been born, what a splendid and special moment, older siblings anxious to know what their newest family member will look like, is it a girl or a boy?... The mother alongside the nurse anxiously waiting in suspense to encompass her infant in her tender arms, as the emotions of the months that have led to this splendid moment reach their climax.
Splendid they say, don't they? Are they not? Is the small journey that leads to this moment a cross, a burden, or is it both of these and a joy? All we have are questions after questions, thoughts after thoughts, and without fail ending with a simple answer.
A woman in her nature is blessed with this special and unique privilege, to give birth to another being, to not only bring another onto this earth but to protect that being as her own. How beautiful this is, and yet this beautiful thing seems so torn and twisted too many now...
Why?
A woman having a child today seems almost wrong. The idea that this natural act should lead to its inevitable result is scorned upon. Society tends to warp and redefine what is clearly defined in a natural way to us as simply, nature itself. We may ask ourselves, why is this the case? It’s simple, we are now indirectly subdued by the mentality that anything that is uncomfortable and unpleasant should be avoided at all costs. We have lost all sight of a very important word, a word that used to prevail years previous to our modern era...SACRIFICE. The giving up of ones 'comfortability', someone essentially offering up themselves for another, whether it be permanent or temporary, this is sacrifice. Sacrifice was something to be proud of, it showed the strength in our roots, that against all odds we had a light shining on us in dark moments. Sadly, that has drifted away in today’s society and there are the few who remain strong and perseverant as much as society tries to tear it away, to the reality that sacrifice must carry on. This beautiful and natural thing called birth is a sacrifice. A sacrifice on the part of courageous and strong women. The woman gives herself up for these nine months, to bring another into the world but this isn't just another this is her own, one that will join society with a stamp of her own character and sacrifice on the individual forever. The painful stages of this nine-month cycle presenting themselves nearly weeks post-conception, not only remain physical, but thrive in every aspect of the word...mentally, physically, and spiritually. Inconvenience is a word not fully understood by any woman until she undergoes this process of giving life. Pain grasps new perspective and what was thought in the mother's mind was not a reality, until experiencing this. Simply a pain no man could ever fathom!
True love requires sacrifice and pain. True love is willing to give up at all costs for another. Selfless love the woman has, for the being that wishes to meet the world in contrast to the worlds wish to rid us of this being itself altogether.
How you might ask? Well, it's easy, it takes the snap of a finger, a 15-minute phone call, the swallowing of a pill, now to the point where you can kill an infant the day before giving it birth. This simply describes the world we live in, the mindset of the "I want it now". Pain, what is that? I shouldn't have to experience it! With such a mindset we set all aside, except for ourselves of course. What matters is me, and how I feel, regardless of what the facts are. 353,000 women experience this pain of childbirth daily and all have undergone these long months of discomfort, some of them with no one by their side, and how? Because that true sense of sacrifice that anchors fearlessly at their roots withstands all odds. The fact that many women sacrifice not once, but time and time again for their future children and all out of selflessness, that is truly the act of heroism, one which should be acknowledged, admired and loved by all who embody their own existence in this life.
Not willing to proceed with the natural occurrence due to the hardship and the pain,...most reasons end with the "I" statements. I can't do it. I can't afford it. I didn't want it...The "egotistical factor" consuming us in every way possible, the opposite of sacrifice in fact that which society tells us is right and normal. We always need to be comfortable and have the control and convenience, simply when we are ‘ready’ then we may choose if it is viable. How sad and disheartening is the world in which we live, sacrifice being strained out of us day by day, and society agreeing and embracing it because it dominates the popular trend. This is the problem, and this is what we need to fix.
Abortion is wrong and in it is hidden at the foundation SELFISHNESS. The vice which tears us from sacrifice and love, from the everlasting charity we should be striving for. The love of others before ourselves, the putting of ourselves last, and that small precious life first, that is true love. Deciding to end a life is not to love. We must think on the moment we ourselves entered the world for the first time, the beautiful moment which can never be forgotten for all who witnessed it, that true love women all around the world have shown and proven, to give us our chance to love as well.
And so, the ask is simple...
Give that love back, emulate that stamp you've been given by your mother to share that message with the world. For at the end of the day, she did it for us and it is the least we can do in return. We cannot rid of this natural and beautiful thing no matter how hard we try to disguise it, it is and always will be the nature of existence.
And lastly, to all you loving mothers, we thank you for being women of selfless love and believing in your deepest roots this meaning of sacrifice, it is something most admirable and will be carried on, and passed down by us to those with whom we are blessed to share such a gift...
PLEASE SHARE IF YOU AGREE WITH THIS MESSAGE, AND DEFEND THESE INNOCENT LIVES.
