Wrong

I wanted to write about something that is a really serious issue to me... I am not sure how to write it, but I feel like from watching social media and the news the timing is finally right.

I became pregnant and I was unwed, I wasn't done with school, I had things I needed to do and my relationship with Boston's dad was very rocky. I always knew one day I wanted to be a mom but I didn't ever picture this being the way how it turned out. There was a person who told me not to keep my child, this person said words to me that will never be erased from my mind... telling me that I would be poor the rest of my life and I would be unhappy and alone, along with other terrible threats.. This is a person who should have been more supportive. So,  I learned about it, I researched it, I could probably tell you almost any fact you want to know about it and none of those facts are good. For a minute though I actually thought about what they said... I could do it... no one would ever know... 

Abortion is wrong... no matter how you try to spin it. Anyone who tells you it isn't wrong has either A- never been in a position to do it or B- has done it and I can PROMISE you they have have spent a plethora of nights regretting or double thinking their choice. When I tell you it is wrong this isn't coming from a religious standpoint. Although, I was raised by wonderful parents with a strong religious background I will admit that my own testimony isn't strong enough to say it is wrong because of religion. It is wrong because it is murder, there isn't another way to say it. I do believe that women should have a right to their own body... they should be able to purchase at affordable rates birth control but they should also let their own unborn child have the right to live. I was a grownup, I knew what types of outcomes could happen from being intimate with someone.

When I heard a month ago that same sex marriage was legalized in all fifty states I was happy for those that it effected and sad for those who I knew would feel like this went against their beliefs. I also realized that no one would actually be hurt by this ruling. Abortion being legal hurts people... not just the unborn child but I personally think it will emotionally always hurt the young girls who honestly believe that this is their best option. An option being legalized by grown adults that I would like to believe know that this isn't right.

Thankfully, I was old enough and had an amazing enough support system when I had an unplanned pregnancy... It isn't something Boston wont question one day, even now she sometimes asks when she brings up how Mommy and dad don't live together. I like to tell her what a wonderful surprise she was.

You can have a red wall and cover it with white paint over and over and over till you can no longer see the red... but ultimately it is a red wall that is underneath white paint. People can come up with excuse after excuse why abortion is okay but it is still so wrong. It makes me so sad how our society it now coming up with more and more ways to convince ourselves that things that are so wrong are right.

I am not certain if my personal opinions on this matter will be popular or hated but this is a subject that I knew I wanted to share my opinions on, not caring others views. Sometimes, if something is important enough to you then you have to stand up for your beliefs.
