I keep seeing this picture on Facebook. And I have to respond. I'm tired of seeing this on Facebook. I saw it once from a Women's for Obama Facebook page. I'll get to the actual issue in a moment but I have a few comments to make about it in general. For one I think it's ridiculous how people and this picture are saying woman's health care when we really know what it being talked about here is abortion. Are people really that stupid to not realize what is being stated here? That or this is nothing but a lame attempt to disguise the real meaning in a attempt to gain votes. Of course women's health care is her own choice. That sounds so obvious and would make women jump on the Obama bandwagon, women who may or may not vote for Obama if this picture clearly stated it's meaning. A second point I would like to make is that I do agree partially with this picture. I believe that health care is an individuals choice, and not a politician. But under Obamacare we are aren't taking politicians out of health care, we are adding them in. And I believe this idea should extend to everyone's health care not just women.
Now as to the point, the real point of this picture. I agree that women do have a choice to have an abortion. But I also have the choice to steal money from my job or kill some guy cause he looked at me funny. I have the choice to go out and do anything I wish. But that doesn't mean what I'm doing is right. From the minute of conception, that "fetus" is a baby, a living human being. And abortion is nothing but murder with a different name.

The heart starts to beat at day 18, at 42 days, there are brain waves recorded, and a complete skeleton and reflexes. At eight weeks, all body systems are there and the baby can hear. At 11 weeks the baby breathes, and all the body systems are working. And at 12 weeks the baby can feel pain and suck its thumb. The baby can cry at 18 weeks. A baby dreams at 17 weeks. I once said this to someone and they countered that it didn't look like a baby. That was and still is the stupidest argument I have ever heard. The Nazi's killed Jews because they looked different, slavery existed on the basis that the people from Africa looked different and were treated as cattle. Genocide has happened many times all over the world because someone was different from someone else. I think we can all agree that what the Nazi's did was wrong, genocide wherever it has happened is generally condemned but we continue to kill babies every day. It is estimated that six million Jews were killed during the Nazi holocaust. The number of abortions form 1967-2011, 54,900,000.
Think about some of the things people are always striving for. The great things we always want to accomplish. We want to find the cure for AIDS, for cancer, for these terrible diseases that plague mankind. We want to end world hunger, and create lasting peace. As a society we want to accomplish all these wonderful goals. What if one of those babies that was aborted would have grown up to find the cure to cancer? Or solve world hunger, or create lasting peace? We can't know what people will turn out to be, or the great things they might go on to do. And now we will never know because we never gave those babies a chance to grow up and become something great.
And here is another fact that isn't generally known or told to people. The suicide rate for women who have a live birth is 5.9 per 100,000. For women who have an abortion the suicide rate is 34.7 per 100,000. That's an increased rate of 488.8 percent. Women who have abortions often suffer from terrible depression, and regret from what they have done. And many unfortunately take their own life's from the guilt.
Abortion is treated like a tiny fix for when people mess up and make mistakes. When the mistake people made is a living human being. People make mistakes, we have accidents we mess up. But sometimes these mistakes, these bumps in the road can be the greatest things to happen in our life's We should teach people to embrace the miracle of life instead of tossing it aside like garbage.
