[CE] Abortions

This article talks about a group that has turned in its initial signatures to begin a petition drive to enshrine in the Ohio Constitution an amendment saying that life begins at conception.

“The amendment would define a person to “apply to every human at every stage of the biological development ... including fertilization.”

says the director of the movement, Dr. Patrick Johnson.

Recently other anti-abortion moves are not as far-reaching. The Heartbeat Bill is being debated in the legislature that would outlaw abortion if a beating heart is detectable.
The author than offers a quote of an opposing perspective:

“We could be looking at government investigations into miscarriages,” she said. “It does nothing to prevent unwanted pregnancies; in fact, it does the exact opposite.”

Says Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio.

I have never been a big fan of babies, whenever they started crying, I always feel like shoving something straight into their mouths just to get some peace and quiet back. However I still believe that whether the infant should survive is not our place to determinate. I’m sure that though not all women who seek abortion are in difficult situations where they could not afford to raise the baby well, or they already know that the baby they’re carrying have a serious disease, that after the baby is born, the medical expenses is too big a burden. There are women who choose to have an abortion simply because they view the baby as an excess package that will become their obstacle to their pursue of happiness and love in life.

I know this is a current events post, but I can’t resist putting this video here. The song of the name means ‘blood clot’ in Japanese, and the song is about a mother’s pain and sadness because the embryo has died in her womb. I somehow think that it’s related to this post. :\
