The Cure

“Abortion in Canada is not limited by the law. While some non-legal obstacles exist Canada is one of only a few nations with no legal restrictions on abortion. Regulations and accessibility varies between provinces
Polls continue to show that a majority of Canadians believe abortion should remain legal in some circumstances. Over 110,000 abortions are performed in Canada every year, that represents a ratio of about 30 abortions to every 100 live births, one of the highest rates among developed countries.”

I'm starting to think I should change the name of this blog to “The Buzz Kill”. So much news is depressing and dejecting. A lot of people run out of steam out of hopelessness. I know, for myself, I've been stuck in a state of perpetual mourning, like life has been one big funeral. So what the heck in the solution to this contention. Small pox, Bubonic, Celine Dion; the world has known disease and dysfunction on an epidemic scale. However they all have an undoing; a cure. If you've got a headache you take some Advil. So what is going to unravel the pro-choice movement into a community that upholds and protects the dignity of all people? What is going to rattle loose the chains? In order to synthesize a vaccine one must know the symptoms.
Bottom line, if a Woman had support, if she had anything she would need during a pregnancy would she get an abortion? Probably no. A Womans need for an abortion emanates from a nightmare of fear and insecurity, thus by encouraging someone to go through with an abortion is investing in her hurt. Abortion then leads to a whole other whack load of problems.

“I still feel physically sick when I remember this period of my life…After the abortion I cried uncontrollably, from the shame, guilt, remorse, sadness, anger and depression it has left me, but as hard as I try-27 years later-it is as fresh as the beginning of the nightmare.” AN

The answer is compassion an love, without these our appeal with dissolve. We must recognize that abortion only victimizes and abuses those around it, this is not exclusive those who support it. If we continue to see the pro-choice movement as an adversary instead of humans who has been lied to, pawns of manipulation, we then encourage stereotype that we ourselves have earned; that are mean and ignorant people. Some people react with a false compassion. They feel sorry for the girl and will say something like “What ever you want to do I will support you.”, right feelings but wrong avenue. Love does not give license to abuse. “I love you and I will support you and your child no matter what.”

I'm a Christian. However my Christianity is not the primary reason why I'm pro-life, but it does influence. I look at the evidence and it's a bonfire of conviction. Then when my faith comes into play it's like tossing gasoline onto that fire (I'll try to think of an environment friendly analogy). How?

I was in my “funeral mood”. I've done Pro-Life ministry and found 0% support. I eventually had to quit what I was doing for the sake of my own sanity. I was frustrated with people who, although they claimed to be pro-life, just could not understand why they had to lift a finger. I was attending a worship service here in Winnipeg called “Beyond”. Being a charismatic I had my hands in air in worship. I was sharing with God my anger and frustration when suddenly Jesus helped me realize something. It's already won! Through his death and resurrection he bore it all, he bore abortion. I felt it to be a completely arrogant and stupid thing to say but I began to accept it. I guess it's not about “what is the cure” but “WHO”. Jesus is the remedy to a culture committing value-system-suicide.
