I'm often called a hypocrite...
Well actually not to my face and I’m sure it’s more often than I could imagine
since I am a never married single mom who is involved in my Church. But besides
that every time people call pro-lifers hypocrites and those who actually
believe the teachings of the Catholic Church hypocrites... Well they’re talking
about me. And in reality I am because I'm a sinner but I at least recognize or
at least strive to recognize my faults and strive to find truth even if it's hard
to bear and may require me to change. I also like logic... And live my life out
to live out the logic I believe in... However, I am most baffled and saddened
by a certain group of people... those who scream #blacklivesmatter & in the
next breath #standwithPP or #abortionwithoutapology...
I could only imagine the dialogue that would go on in one’s head when justifying these two statements. And imagine I did so this is how I would imagine someone would think trying to justify to themselves these two thoughts…Because they say black lives matter but then immediately have to retract that statement immediately when it comes to abortion.
“Black lives matter!!! Well
actually only if you have been born... And ok sometimes not even then because
if your mom tried to abort you but you were born alive it’s ok that you starve
to death or don't receive lifesaving treatment, or that the doctor just slit
your throat or cut your spinal cord, because at that point your life doesn't
matter... And really your body parts matter more because they can be used for
research once you've been terminated... buuuuuut if you can survive an abortion and
aren't starved or someone gives you lifesaving treatment or maybe the
abortionist missed you while suctioning out your twin during the abortion well
then, then your life matters. But before that really just your body parts are
important because you’re not really human before then... But what's really neat
is that even though you're not human in the womb, before #blacklivesmatter
actually pertains to you, we can use your body parts and DNA to humanize mice.
We can use your DNA to make vaccines for actual humans, but don't get it
twisted little fetus you are not a human no no, you are not human unless your
mother wants you, oooor if you survive an abortion and don't die right away,
only then, only then are you a person and will I shout for you
#blacklivesmatter."
If #blacklives really
mattered to you, you would not only be able to see the racism involved many times in
the way African Americans are treated in the “justice” system but you would
also be able to see it when it comes to abortion. In 2012 more African American
babies were aborted then born in NYC. African American abortions accounted for 37% in the US (I have also seen this number at 30%) of all abortions yet African American men and women only make up 13% of our
population. This statistic mirrors the numbers for African American men inprison. When we see that prison rate we know there is something wrong with the system
and we even call it racist, so why can’t we see there is something amiss when
it comes to abortion as well? You would also be able to see that abortion is
playing a major role in the fact that the African American community in the US has fallen below “replacement level”. Not enough children are being born to replace
the current population, their community is shrinking!!
When I found out I was pregnant,
the father of my child was in jail, I didn’t have a job, I had been kicked out
of my brother’s house and was living with my parents and in general my life was
in a downward spiral. I know the fear of an unintended pregnancy. But the
difference between me and many women that have abortions is that I had a
support system. I had people who were willing to help me get a job, finish
school, help take care of my child. We need those same support systems in place
for women who cannot find that in their homes or communities… I myself am not
sure how to do this…I am still a single, full time working more than one job,
single mother. Every day is a struggle, but my daughter is shining light in
that struggle. I would’ve still struggled if I had chosen death for her…more than
likely my alcohol and drug use would have escalated and I can only imagine
where I would be now if it hadn’t been for that little child growing inside of
me. I know I would not have finished
school, she was my reason for finishing and I wouldn’t have taken the job that lead
to my current full time position.
Abortion is not the
answer. Killing our children is not the answer.
