Today’s topic is life vs. life (You’ll see what I mean in a minute).  Pro-life versus pro-choice.  Wow a controversial topic indeed.  So who has the right to decide?  Well I can see excellent points on both sides of the fence.  Let’s take a more in-depth look.  On one hand, you have the pro-life people, which think, one way or the other, abortion is wrong, and it’s killing an unborn baby.  I can see that, and not taking either side on the matter, I just wonder, what’s the difference between that and birth control?  And to go to that extreme, what is the difference between saying no to abortion but yes to the death penalty.  Dying is dying in my opinion.  For an example, animal rights activists, that say that people abusing animals should be killed.  Give me a break.  Now don’t get me wrong; I think animal abuse is wrong, and I don’t agree, but let’s stop and look at what we are saying here people.  Life is life, that’s all there is to it.  An animal’s life is worth less than a human life.  Regardless of how bad that person may be, do they deserve death?  I don’t think so, but who am I to say?  Life is life, no matter how you look at it.

So on the complete opposite side of the fence, you have the pro-choice people.  They completely leave it up to the mother.  Well, I can see the logic there too.  Who are we to say who lives or dies?  Isn’t that on the mother’s shoulders if she kills, what some would consider, an unborn baby?  As far as my opinion on the matter, well it’s a double standard for me.  I don’t believe in killing, of course, I mean who does that has morals?  But at the same time, who am I to say what someone else does with their own body?  So morally can we say what is right here?  Most likely the pro-life group.  Now me particularly, I hate taking sides on matters like that.  To me it’s going to an extreme, and my opinion shouldn’t be overbearing or anything like that.  It’s very similar to an earlier post I had about homosexuality.  Who am I to say what sexual preference someone should be?  Now granted, my morals tell me it’s wrong, but it’s just not my concern.  I just find it hard to believe that a lot of people will go to the extreme of telling homosexuals that they are going to hell, or that they need to repent or they will go to hell.  I’ve always had issues with that.  Some people, in my opinion, are so blinded by their narrow, one-sided, attained values from their parents/religion, that they can’t see it any other way.  However, I’m not pointing fingers, if that’s what they want to believe, that’s what this country is all about.  I’ve just never fully understood it.
