To abort or not abort?

Is it really that easy? Should abortions be allowed? If meat is murder how much more is killing a baby embryo?

A very touchy conversation that leads to disagreements and arguments. But the truth must be heard. I know abortion is not an easy thing to deal with and is a very sensitive subject. There is a lot of sorrow and devastation in the aftermath of an abortion. It is tough on both the male and female.

Is this quick fix the best solution? Abortions do get you out of the responsibility of raising a child, abortions do cover up an affair, and some feel people have the right to end the early stages of a developing life inside of a womb.

What precautions could be taken so an unexpected pregnancy won’t occur and or also an abortion?

I know the topic of Jesus is not as popular as the pleasure of sex is in this day and age. Believe me when I say this but the pleasure of sex was more satisfying to me than the love of Christ at one point.

But how bad is abstinence until marriage? Easier said than done but it will save you several heartaches and mistakes. When you hear that question you might think, “Wow, this dude has lost his mind. I would like to see him do that.”

Sex is heavily pushed through our television and our radios. I don’t know if you’ve ever tuned in.

Men get half naked women in Victoria Secret commercials, women get movies like ‘Magic Mike,’ pornography is tangible, and this generation’s Rap music is last generations sex, drugs and rock and roll. These are lustful times we are living in.

These things do increase hormones, which increase sexual activity and also the chances of a pregnancy and also abortion.

The truth of the matter is I fight to live under God’s rule; but yes as a Christian I fall short of the glory of God and I can give in to temptation or hormones because the quick fix seems right at the time. Once the conviction of the Holy Spirit kicks in I have to repent. Sometimes there doesn’t need to be a conviction I’m repenting regardless.

God forbid I fall into a situation and will contemplate on an abortion. God willing that never happens. But truth is It can happen to anyone.

Whether you’ve had an abortion or not it doesn’t make you any worse or better than someone else. From what I believe we all have sin and are in need of a Savior.

About the Contributor
Michael Cueto
Michael Cueto, Staff Writer
My name is Michael Cueto. I am 25 years of age and I am a Business Administration major. I signed up for the College Newspaper class because I developed a passion for covering stories and testimonies of congregates at my church. I am interested in getting to the bottom of things and I guess you can say I am somewhat of a nosy person. But this Spring semester you can catch my talon marks in the sports section and in other sections of our college newspaper. I do spoken word poetry at my church when they bless me with an opportunity. I know this class will strengthen my writing and give me some experience in journalism. I am excited to see what is in store for me as I cover stories for our Talon Marks Newspaper.
