Who Gives You The Right To Take Away A Life?

Sorry haven’t been blogging for the past few days, as I was pretty much sadden by the news of infanticide.  It has been in my head for the past few weeks already, wondering how can people have the heart to do such a thing.  And just two days ago, I was watching the so called opening of Private Practice.  2 events actually took place during that the show, as 1 case was talking about abortion while the other is trying to save a baby while her mother is in a coma.

A Child is a gift not a choice.

So let’s talk about the abortion case first.  I myself am not a big fan or approve abortion in the first place.  But will I feel better if the mother of the baby was a rape victim, or the baby was diagnosed a severe sickness that once she comes out will straight away die?  Well, I’ll probably stick to my stand that it will still be wrong for taking away one’s life without giving the baby a chance to live.  Who knows this baby, might turned out to be someone important and could save millions of lives in the future.  I’m not looking at this from a religious point of view, even though I’m a Christian.  But, I couldn’t bare to see a child was not given a chance to live.  Especially those who decided to abandon their babies inside a rubbish bin or wherever they try to get rid of.

Maybe because I’m a father now, probably I might look at things differently.  I couldn’t imagine how my life  would be like if it wasn’t for Esther.  Maybe I wouldn’t feel so emotional when I read the news, but how could one be so cruel if you know what I mean.  I mean for me, Esther was pretty much the greatest things that ever happened in my life.  Being able to love the same thing that Deluxe and I can share to help bring up a child is something indescribable.  If you didn’t want the baby in the first place, there’s a saying that goes “Prevention is better than cure”.  I’m not in a position to judge, those who decided to abandon their babies.  But I believe there are other better options, than abandoning them in the first place or going through abortion.  It’s just plain wrong.  Instead of giving in to abortion, but rather than giving your baby for adoption.  I believe there are a lot of people who would give anything just to be able to hold a baby in their arms and giving the child the best life they could ever have.  Again I’m not in the position to judge, but please remember it’s a life we’re talking about here.

Another case, which I was actually went emotional about was that.  This lady apparently got into a coma, and of course the baby’s life was in danger.  So the thing here is that, if they don’t take out the baby, the baby will eventually will die.  But if they were to take out the baby, the mother’s life would be in danger as well.  If I were in that person shoes, and it was Esther & Deluxe life here we’re talking about.  I would probably won’t know what to do.  As much as I want both of them to live, but I thank God that I didn’t have to go through that difficult decision in life and I hope I wouldn’t want to.  Anyway, was thinking of posting something longer but I think I’ll just end here.  You guys have a good week.
