Murder: Legal With Counseling!!! by Rowena Slusser
Murder: Legal with Counseling!!!
by Rowena Slusser
BREAKING NEWS: The United Nations Bans The Killing of People By ISIS Members Except If Those People Are Christians. In Those Cases, The ISIS Member Must First Get Counseling From A Non-ISIS Organization To Give Them All Possible Options For Dealing With The Christians! If The Christian Is A Minor, The Parent Must First Be Notified Of The Minor Christian’s Demise.
That is a bit extreme, right? No, not
really. Today I woke up and checked my Facebook. To my horror, I found that
Congress is pushing forward the HR36 Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act with a
rape exception in it. The wording removes the reporting requirement, and adds
that the woman needs to receive counseling, notifying her of all her options.
It also says that if a minor is involved, that the appropriate legal agencies
are to be notified. What this bill is saying is that aborting a child conceived
in rape, a child that can feel pain, will remain legal under the ban as long as
the woman gets counseling.
This rhetoric is no different than
the fake headline I have above. Yet many Pro-Life groups are celebrating that
this bill will go to a vote. As I engaged on social media, I actually had a
person post the following in favor of exceptions,
“...Including the exceptions is a smart move, it gives the bill a more feasible chance of either becoming law or hurting pro-abortion politicians who vote against it.”
To explain away the use of exceptions
by calling it a smart move, is inexcusable.
The lives of children conceived in rape or incest/rape should not be
used as a pawn to give a law more of a chance to pass or to hurt pro-abortion
politicians. This way of thinking is backwards and exploits lives of pre-born
babies.
As I watch my Twitter account explode
with excitement over this bill going to the floor for a vote, my heart aches.
Hearts are calloused to the truth that children conceived in rape and/or
incest/rape have value, are just as human, and wanted. We want to be loved. We
want to be cherished and protected.
Instead of being loved and protected,
we are at the mercy of the people in our mom’s life. Will they support her and help her choose life, or
will they pressure and coerce her into having an abortion? And that is where
the stigma begins. The stigma that a child conceived in rape receives starts
long before that baby is ever born. It is labeled with shame, disgrace and
dishonor. Before the child starts his/her life outside the womb, he/she has
been given a bad reputation.
This child will be forced to carry
the title of the “rapist’s child” or be labeled an abomination. When the child finds out how his
or her conception happened, it will most likely feel immense shame. The child will
likely hear people say that because of the horrible way the child was conceived,
the mom’s life
would have been easier if she would have opted for abortion. The child will see
news articles quoting Pro-Lifers saying abortion is murder except for the case
of rape or incest. Is this truly the message that we want to send?
Have we as Christian Pro-Lifers, lost sight of the fact that EVERY LIFE MATTERS? Please search your heart and open
your eyes to see that children conceived in rape or incest/rape have value,
deserve to be protected and fought for under this ban. Join others and me from
organizations like Save The 1, in calling for an amendment to completely remove
the rape exception from the 20-week Abortion Limit bill that is headed to theU.S. House floor on May 13, 2015.
