This post on Reddit is going viral. It's a love letter from a young mother who's about to abort her baby. She's not aborting because her life is in danger, or the baby has severe health defects and wouldn't survive anyway. She's aborting it because now is not a good time in her life right now.
She recognizes her baby as a person, a person she can talk to, who exists now, who is going to be killed in a few days, but a person whose spirit she will meet again. She believes she can abort the baby now for convenience, but next time it'll be the same baby, with the same spirit, and that baby will call her Mom. "Hi, Mom, thanks for killing me before I could be born the first time." This is a horrific delusion.
This is perfectly legal. Each person makes their own choice. My own moral fiber recoils at this deep lack of respect for human life, but hey that's just me. Birth control, birth control, birth control if you don't want to get pregnant. Adoption, adoption, adoption if now's not a good time for you. But if the baby's already growing, you don't just kill it. And the comments about doing what's best for your baby. How is killing it what's best for the baby?
How long after a baby is born should parents have the right to kill it? Is this not the next logical step?
