When it comes to issues of rape, there are women that have decided to still have the child. I do understand in that situation if she wouldn’t want to have the baby. I have no disagreements there on whatever that woman decided for this instance.

A woman that would have her life put in danger and they had to abort the child to save her life then I have no disagreements with her decision to save her own life.

Now in terms of economics this is where I don’t agree with abortion. The woman knowingly made a choice to sleep with that man. She gets pregnant and so she shouldn’t be allowed to abort her child. Her life isn’t at risk nor was she raped. Some cases have been because that sorry ass man didn’t want to step up and provide. Now you may disagree with that, but I will ask you this. Most families before this day and age have large families... 10+ children. They found a way to make it. I made the mistake of not waiting until later in life to have children and things were tough starting out, but I am glad that the decision was made to have each of my children. I don’t care what anyone says if you are serious about making a way for that child then nothing will stop you from making sure that you provide for your children. Children are indeed a blessing.

So I ask you to wrap your mind around this thought out of the 19M abortions in the black community, how many do you actually think were rape or the woman’s life was in danger? I will reiterate that there is nothing better when a child is about to be born. I am blessed that all three of born. Children really teach you about yourself. You truly get to learn what patience is all about which is what make the struggle memorable.
