Abortion or Adoption, there is a choice. It is a difficult choice for many mothers to be.

It may be the most divisive issue in the county today. It is back in our faces many times a day with loud arguments from both sides. The recently passed law in Texas put it on the front page after decades of bubbling up from time to time.

The law was changed by a U.S. Supreme Court landmark decision in 1973, 47 years ago, in the Roe v. Wade case. Before then abortion was illegal in much of the county. Women had to resort to illegal, dangerous, “back-alley” abortions.

The court declared that a woman’s right to an abortion was implicit in the right to privacy protected by the 14th Amendment. In the first trimester it was solely up to the woman. In the second trimester, the government could regulate abortion, although not ban it, in order to protect the mother’s health. In the third trimester, the state could prohibit abortion to protect a fetus.

The chant for 47 years has been “my body my right to choose”. Why does that same argument apply when it comes to medicine and health?

Things have change in 47 years. Today science can detect life in the womb much sooner. The issue today should revolve around should and when society, “government”, need and required to protect a human life.

Abortion has diminished in recent years. But why with the birth control available is there any abortions. To prevent a pregnancy one can, choose from 1) birth control implant, 2) IUD 3) birth control shot 4) vaginal ring 5) birth control patch 6) the pill 7) condom 8) condom 9) diaphragm 10) sponge 11) spermicide & gel 12) cervical cap 13) sterilization 14) vasectomy

At the end of the day, once a women becomes pregnant it means that there is another living human in her womb. Human life is a gift that should never be ended by another person. Not even the mother. There is another option too often not considered, is adoption.

Women that have placed their child for adoption often share that adoption was a difficult decision, but at the same time they knew it was the right one to make. Today there are organizations available and ready to help any mother to be. They provide confidential support, help choosing adoptive parents, financial assistance, making the necessary arrangements and plan. There are families waiting to adopt.

Be proud to stand in defense of and protect the unborn.

How You Choose Will Determine How You Live.

Choose adoption.
