Yes, I’m pro-life... But that doesn’t mean that my only beliefs are that abortion is wrong and no matter what you shouldn’t kill your baby. There is so much more to the issue, in addition to the loss of a child’s life. When I look at the demand for abortion in the world today I take a step back and think about why the demand is so high, and of course it comes back to the basic idea... If you don’t want to be pregnant don’t have sex. This is simple, right? But it’s so much more than that.
As individuals we must recognize the dignity of each and every human being, beginning with ourselves. When you begin to have relations outside of marriage you forget one aspect of the act and that is procreation. We are called as human beings to raise up future generations to love and serve, and having sex outside of marriage leaves future children out of the picture. The selfish mentality comes into play, first with the desire for pleasure and next, compromising by using birth control or abortion in the event of an unwanted pregnancy.
I believe that love is an action and by the way we treat others, we show our love for them. Being chaste by not having sex and waiting for marriage is a selfless act because you’re saving yourself for your future spouse and respecting the person you’re dating by protecting them for their future spouse, whether it is or is not you. This also spares one from the hurt of pregnancy before marriage.
This may not be easy for some, but remember it will save you the heartbreak if nothing else. Live a life that sets an example to others. Living a chaste life and being pro-life go hand in hand, I encourage you to live out your pro-life position. I see too many people who say they’re pro-life but then find themselves in a crisis pregnancy because of their choices, and then the idea of abortion isn’t so bad after all.
If you’re married or a man I strongly suggest you checkout Bryan Kemper’s blog from last Valentine’s day about living a chaste marriage,from a man’s perspective.
Happy St. Valentine’s Day!
