Life dynamics Final

We are not at the same place we were in 1973. This country today is drifting, moving steadily towards the pro-life position because the data is with us.

     So, I don't really know how to start this post, so it might be a little testy until I catch the drift of what I'm really trying to say. Well, my second stakeholder is really interesting because they are very different from my first and some of the things that are said on the sight makes me raise my brow. So basically, this is their stand, "ABORTION IS BAD. ABORTION SHOULDN'T BE LEGAL. Pretty strong stand, yes? Or maybe not. I'm not here to judge. I'm here to report. One of the things that jumped out at me is that it had a racism and abortion link and it took me to a link that was like "a black baby is 3 times more likely to be aborted than a white baby" and random facts like that and it got me thinking and questioning "Why does THAT make a difference? How does that fact really help the pro-life movement?" You know? And so I was wondering "why is this site picking on a specific racial group? Is it implying that in some way African Americans somehow have less morals and are more susceptible to the 'heinous' act of abortion?" It goes on to compare African Americans to the KKK and it seems to me that this stakeholder isn't too concerned about who is trampled on the way to getting their point across.
     This stakeholder has a section called the "Blackmun wall" and it is dedicated to women who have been killed from abortions. My first thought was "that's really sad", but then i thought about it and I realized that the argument is irrelevant because with every operation there is always a risk of mortality. I mean, if we are going to look at the number of women who have died due to abortion, we would also have to look at the number of women who have died during childbirth within the same time period. It also seems to me that this stakeholder builds a lot of it's credibility by tearing down others. Like, they don't have enough backbone to build their own credibility. You know? and I find it really weird because their attack on pro-choice organizations is very aggressive and a little vicious. It also focuses all it's energy on stopping abortion, but not on giving other "healthier" alternatives to abortion and I feel like that's what a good pro-life organization should do. Not just senselessly attack every organization that has beliefs that are against their own. You know what I mean?


Well, I know that it probably seems like I have a very biased point of view, but I promise, I'm not biased, I just happened to realize that I really dislike this stakeholder. I didn't really realize it until I started writing this post. Oh well.


Hope this leaves you with a few things to think about. 

Love and Peace Cynthia :)
