Arguments For Abortion
Fall Short
By Eric Fink,

Seemed like today with some of the friends I have on Facebook there
were two heated debates that were going on. One was abortion and the
other being Planned Parenthood.
Before anyone reads on, I want to let you know that I am defiantly
pro-life and against abortions. So if you are one who cannot take what
I am saying on this issue with an open mind (if you are on the flip
side), then I advise you to stop reading this post.
I would like to go over some of the arguments that I saw on my friends
wall, and offer my point of view.
First one argument that is used is that Planned Parenthood (PP)
offers other services that benefit women and helps plan pregnancies.
Yes there are some good things that come out of PP but, it almost
sounds to me like we are saying we should overlook the little bit of
evil that they are doing because there is some good. I am sorry but
good does not outweigh bad. Perhaps this is because I am a Christian
and I know that if one person was to do trillions of good things in
one's life and only one bad thing; the trillions of good things would
not outweigh the one bad thing you did.
I would like to add that PP is a racist eugenicist that was founded by
Margaret Sagner. The following link will take you to some of her
quotes, as well as some of the quotes from PP today. I think you should
see that very little has changed:

One person I read talked about how they educate people. I cannot argue
that they don't, but I know many of the facilities will not let the
mother see the ultrasound. The reason why is that a great majority of
people think that the "baby" in the mother is just a mass of slime.
However when they see the ultrasound even from early stages they often
change there mind. So, if they are about educating people then why not
educate them on this matter?
Another argument that I saw (one that I hear all the time in fact) is
that Roe Vs. Wade has made it legal. First I would like to point out
that both Roe and Wade are now pro-life and are now working together
to get it back to the supreme court and have it now illegal again. I
really hate this argument because it is saying that when something is
legal it is always right. Perhaps some of this comes from my faith in
God/Jesus. However most people would agree that Hitler's Nazi Empire
was wrong. However if you are to use this argument then we cannot
criticize Hitler as it was legal to exterminate and place people in
concentration camps. Or how about countries that have child sex slaves
where its even legal?
Another argument that I saw that I hear often is this (and I am placing
it directly from facebook): What is wrong having your OWN beliefs and
following them, just because you believe in them?
In theory there is nothing wrong with having our own beliefs. However
if there is truly nothing wrong then we have to also consider some
extremes. For example, Charles Manson believed it was right to kill
people. Again, I mention Hitler's beliefs. Or how about people who
believe they are god and they are to kill any who disagree. This is a
dangerous thought process to think about.
I will only list one more. I know many women talk about how low income
women need some of their services. First in many places there are free
facilities. Where I live I know of two places off the top of my head.
One girl went as far to use the argument of: "Do you have a vagina?" to
a man when he was talking on this issue. I would like to ask this to
her: "Do you have a penis?"
I ask her this because cervical cancer is not as common as the medical
field makes it out to be. In fact male testicular cancer is more
common. Granted at one time cervical was more common. Here is a good
website on this.:

However, Testicular cancer is rarely mentioned. In closing I will end
by asking this, followed by a story of my experience with planned
parenthood: Since Testicular cancer seems to be on the rise, why is it
we aren't seeing free men's clinics not just for this, but for other
male issues.
When I first got married my wife and I went to a local planned
parenthood a few times (prior to what we know about them now). We were
turned off because of how they treated me. They were disrespectful to
me and did not want me to go back at all to the exam room with my wife,
until we both put our foot down. So if PP is supposed to be about
"family planning" why did they not want me to get involved in the stuff
my wife was going there for at the time?
