January is Right to Life Month

I was so disappointed to hear someone today say that Right to Life wants to hurt women and take away their rights. I guess conversely then the other side would be helping women? How can they help women by refusing to give them information and denying that women might regret the abortions they had? Do they think it is more helpful to a woman to lead her to believe that her only option is to kill her baby? Would it be more helpful to a woman to give her the help she needs to bring her baby to term and to change society so that she is congratulated for the self sacrifice of bringing an unwanted pregnancy to term and giving the child up if that is her wish? We should support these women financially. If we are going to have government supported healthcare, it should pay the birthing costs for all women. Conservatives, put your money where your mouth is. If you want a woman to not abort her child, help her do it. Liberals, help the poor and disadvantaged by giving them an equal chance at life. Stop the genocide in America. Just because the bodies don't line the streets doesn't mean we aren't preferencially killing minority infants in the womb.

I believe that social justice must come from a respect of life and that being Pro-Life must lead you to wanting to fight for social justice as well. If everyone has an equal right to life then their lives must be of equal value. If their lives are equal in value then they must have all other rights in common. Everyone has the same basic human right to live freely. Believing in God means however, that we also believe that God knows what's best for us. He made us, He loves us, whoelse would know what's best for us? So many people think they can do a better job, but are they really happy, or are they chasing happiness? Maybe I was just really bad at it but I don't think so. I believe that God knows best. So there are things that we ar free to do, like turn our backs on God, and everyone has that right, but we shouldn't. We also can't just follow the parts of Jesus's message that we like. We have to Love our enemies, even those who wish to do us harm. We can't deny our enemies humanity just because we don't like them.
