Yesterday I had the unfortunate opportunity of visiting an Abortion Clinic. I will say it was not for myself but I'll add that it was still an emotionally straining event. When I stepped outside to put more quarters into the meter, an angry, angry man greeted with with religous chants of nonsense. He started spewing venom at me for playing a role in the muderering of millions of innocence unborn children. I was shook. Not by his message but by his cold presence. Needless to say he harrassed me down the Center City block until I had to yell back that I would get the police if he didn't back off. He did and disappeared by the time I returned from the meter. I don't understand the logic behind these angry individuals. Young women filled the clinic. Some were sad and some relieved but all were visibly scared. Why this man and many others feel it is okay to attact these girls and their loved ones in the name of an unknown God, or in the spirit of these unborn and deceased babies, alludes me.
I don't know the abortion answer but that is the thing. No one does. No one has the word of God. The prophets are the angels who embrace all people and living things, not the angry white men on corners who spit venom. The truth is, these young woman want a shot at life. They don't want to destroy it. Who is more responsible? The 14 year-old young single mother or the 19 year-old who has an abortion? Guess what? Who cares! There's is no answer. It is about CHOICE. Let the woman and man decide for themselves. It isn't up to others to judge. If "God" hadn't intended for women to abort unborn children, then it wouldn't be possible for us to do us. If he had intended us to fly, we'd have wings. Certainly we can't accept miscarraige and deny abortion? When one has a miscarraige the safest thing to do is to visit an abortion clinic! The medical science on that is known.
Look, it is also very scary when someone is harrassing you about abortion. My mother's friend worked at a clinic for many years and has many stories to share of bomb threats and verbal assaults. This is serious. So did this man upset me? Yes. But, he didn't bother me--that is the difference. I can get over an idiot. To me he represents the heartlessness which Christianity can potenitally grow in people.
On another note: 2 gay penguins are raising a baby penguin who was abadoned by it's mother and father...Which doesn't mean don't have abortions, give your babies to the gays. It means WHO CARES..WHATEVER WORKS!
The zoo said in a statement on its website that
"sex and coupling in our world don't always have something to do with reproduction."
