Comment #78 on Abortion in America: A Personal Journey --



"I am a converted Catholic; meaning I converted from Protestant to
Catholic as an adult. I believe abortion is wrong, but I also believe it
is and will be forever impossible to determine "viability",
"otherness". An infant is not viable outside the womb until the age of
26, if O-liar-care is correct, and some people never develop a sense of
otherness, even after the ripe age of 26. Picture Julia and Pajama-boy
coming together in Hippa-space.



"The "my own body" argument is also specious; what part of the DNA is
yours and what part is owned by the father and what part is owned by
the baby?



"The "brain activity" argument also breaks down in the face of the
elderly and a child who cannot bear to part with the now senile parent
who once cared for them.



"All the arguments for and against abortion at some point break down,
except for the argument, when is this child a child? When and where do
we protect the innocent?



"I was a CPS Social Worker before I retired. How many mothers avoid
the legal consequences of taking meth up to the fourth day before
delivery of their child, because they know the drug is gone from their
system by the fourth day? Fetal alcohol effects also come to mind, but
those effects don't go away. I once interviewed a young mother who
aborted her child even after his/her left arm had reached out from her
womb, which by the way was the third time she decided to abort. No, she
did not want and did not hold a funeral. I have also heard the primal
screams of infants born addicted to heroin, then mitigated by IV
morphine drips.



"Life is precious and the soul is God-breathed, I have come to
believe. Who am I to decide when and where life or soul or humanity
begins? Grace and Forgiveness is Divine. Pray, meditate, chant, or do
whatever floats your boat, but let "Abba" hear from you, then try to be
quiet and listen, turn off the text messages too.



"Our wonderful post-modern government will now protect a turtle egg
with a potential prison sentence. Goodness gracious great balls of fire,
what hath Gaia wrought?"
