Heart speaks to Heart | Why This Young Woman is Pro-Life:
I believe I know more people who have been sexually active, who have been pregnant, who have had abortions, or kept their babies, or chosen adoption than my mother or my mother's friends did. I have witnessed the effects of the abortion revolution her generation brought about, and I say it has not solved anything. Abortion on demand has not made men respect women more, it has not made it easier for women to refuse unwanted sexual advances, it has not reduced the consequences of early sexual activity and pregnancy, it has not healed the emotional wounds of rape and incest victims....it has not given women the freedom to be men. We just aren't designed like that. We're designed to love and create, not destroy.
My own feelings aren't quite the same as Kate's sentiments, largely because I'm male. Nonetheless, I agree with her on the central point expressed above. I've seen the effects of legalized abortion, and it hasn't solved anything. Millions of my generation are gone, and nothing has improved as a result. Even if abortion were a real solution, the cost would still be too high, but the fact that it solves nothing just makes my blood boil that much hotter.
Do read the whole thing.
