In recent weeks the media in the United States has been discussing issues regarding abortion.
In the past some of my family members have had difficulty conceiving children. After years of trying to conceive, the couple opted to try Invitro Fertilization. The procedure was completed and during that time the couple was shown pictures of their embryos and two cells, four cells, and so on. They literally saw life begin before their very eyes.
My twin cousins are prime examples of when life begins. At four weeks gestation a tiny heartbeat is detected.
Abortion is a method of murdering children that some people see as acceptable. How can this be possible when it is obvious that life begins at conception?
People that chose abortion do not always chose a good place to have the procedure. It can often be done in an unclean and unsafe environment with little or no follow up for the person having the procedure. An abortion done incorrectly or without proper medical care can cause heath issues at that time and later for the mother.
The media and advocates for abortion should give each life a chance. The slogan “Chose Life” should be on the hearts and minds of everyone. Abortion at any stage is killing a life.
There are many other options besides abortion. Many childless couples wish for children to adopt. I think that people should see the value of human life when it begins at conception.
