A controversial discussion relating to Abortion:
What makes me, me? What makes you, you? What makes Jared,
Jared? What makes someone who they truly are? I strongly believe that the
experiences of someone’s life are what make that person who they are. The
joyful times, the heart breaks, the laughs, the fights, the loves, the hates,
everything that happens in your life results in you as the product. Therefore,
after establishing this I want to take this in a different more controversial
subject. Abortion. Is it right? Is it wrong? Should all women be allowed to
have an abortion? Should only women in certain circumstances be allowed? If
it’s early enough is it right? If it’s too late is it wrong? Well, as we
established earlier what makes someone who they really are? The experiences of
that person’s life are what makes them them. Now if a woman gets pregnant but
she can’t afford to support it, let’s say she wants to get an abortion. It
seems very irresponsible of her to get pregnant if she can’t afford it but
should she be allowed to have the abortion? If the unborn child has never
cried, if the unborn child has never thrown up, if the unborn child has never
laughed, if the unborn child has never farted, if the unborn child has never
fallen down and been hurt, if the unborn child has never been born yet then it
has never experienced anything. We established earlier that the experiences of
someone’s life is what makes them who they are. If it has no experiences to
define it then it is not a person, it is just a living organism at that point.
As you say, a difficult and sensitive topic. But I love my life (warts and all) and am grateful to my parents for it, no matter when I became a person. I hope we can all agree: life is too precious to be wasted.
