Free Will

News like this make me stop watching news in the first place.  Our economy downturn has no end in sight.  The educational system is shot to hell and back.  Health care is a mess.  People got kicked out of their house and live on the street.  Kids in third world countries become child-soldiers or starve to death.

If you are so worry about life in the first place, improve the living condition first, take care of the kids that are ALREADY in the system with proper adoption/ foster situations before emotional blackmailing people about non-viable fetuses...  The LAW states that fetuses are not considered human beings until when they can actually draw breaths by themselves.  Follow that law and the principle of separation between church and state, one shouldn't be encumbered by preconceptions.  By the way, before you say anything else about the founders, America was founded by freedom of religion.  What you believe and practice does not dictate that I have to follow the same.

This proposed law is comparable to beating a person for "their own good" because they might go out and cause harm to other people.  Yes, making the women having children they are not emotionally prepared, financially equipped or even having a support system in place to take care of the kids.  If you even think people shouldn't have sex unless they are ready for a child then I guess you only eat when you are famished?  So chocolate and cookies makers shouldn't even be in business.  Cars and bikes shouldn't be allowed since you have legs to move around with.  Oh, what else?  I don't know... greeting cards, coffee, beds, ... I mean you can survive without them just FINE.

Condoms break.  Pills might react with hormone levels.  The body might repair a vasectomy without prompting from the man.  What do we get from this?  Contraceptives are not fool-proof, 100% effective.  If you think at the end of the rainbows are pots of gold, there is nothing I can do for you.  But by applying your beliefs on other people's lives, are you saying you're better than the God you worship whom had decided to give humankind free will?  No matter what religion you practice, I hope your God talks about free will.  You know, that concept that allow you to take a nap, eat some fries, make a friend... ?  The principle is the same no matter what you wish to apply the concept to.   You can either say free will or fate, it doesn't matter since the end result is the same.

Life is what the individuals make of it, how they view the world and themselves changes things from a person to the next.  Yes, those decided on abortion might suffer in eternal hell but they are there because of a decision that they chose.  You are not their creator to choose for them.
