I do not write much about this topic because it is sometimes controversial, but for the most part it should not be. The dreaded word abortion. It has taken on a life of it's own that word abortion, now it means a way used as birth control. Some of the stories I have read in the last month about abortion Dr's is just down right draconian. Such a disturbing group of stories I cannot even begin to talk about it.
So I will get to my point in this peace. LIFE, what is the meaning of that word. The meaning of the word life differs by person to person. To me it means Miracle. As a Physicist I can appreciate the sheer impossibility of life. Take life in the Universe, it is so rare we have not yet come upon any outside of our own. We live in what I like to call an Electric Universe. Everything that deals with life starts there. Ponder this for a minute 15 million sperm 1 egg and you are here. Out of those 15 million you are setting here reading this. If by random chance one of the others had gotten there first you would not be sitting here reading this. When the sperm and egg come together it creates energy, that sparks and starts to grow life inside the womb. From the very beginning that energy creates 10 fingers 10 toes a complex genetic make up, the brain and the spine form, all of this from the energy that sparked life. All of the complex cellular structures that make us who we are. To me it would seem that life began at that very point, when the two became one that energy does not dissipate unless tampered with. This is called abortion. Abortion is not and should not be a means of birth control. When the two do not meet, with responsible people that is birth control. A society with such blatant disregard for life is doomed from the start.
To sum this all up, it should be incumbent on us as the ones who started life that way to protect and cherish the beginning and the end of life as a gift of a 15 million to one chance.
There is so much in this universe we do not understand but we all understand this. To use abortion as a form of birth control is nothing short of extinguishing the next Einstein, Or great philosopher, or even a brother or sister. I have a feeling we will never resolve this debate because the deeper meaning to life is lost on those who choose not to look at life as a precious gift. That is until they are dying and then it hits them like a ton of bricks, their mortality is temporary and fragile. And for that one brief moment that very moment they are fighting to stay alive is when they realize how precious life really is.Their family and loved ones, and friends also realize this for that one moment as well.
So tell me, why are we arguing when life begins?
