A woman, missing for a month, was found dead in southeast Oklahoma City over the weekend. There are a couple of theories on her death - the most prevalent being the husband did it. However, that is not the point of this post. It turns out she was pregnant. Here is the headline from the local paper: Unborn child of woman found dead in OKC will be considered second homicide victim of 2012 (Read the full article here.)
So, let me get this straight...a person murders a woman who is pregnant and they will be (when found) charged with two homicides. A pregnant woman walks into an abortion clinic, terminates her child and it is her choice and right. Is that how it works? I am pro-life. I do not believe in terminating a pregnancy for any reason not even the mother's health. If a child is meant to be born then it will be. Period. I believe that my God has a reason for everything and the life of that unborn child is part of a plan. It is not up to you to decide when it will end! Thus my question, why are people who have abortions not charged for homicide? If a zygote, embryo, fetus can be considered living for a murder case where the mother dies (or in the cases where the baby dies and the mother survives) why, then, can a woman kill her own child and then get to go on her merry way?
I am not trying to be judgemental. If you have had an abortion then you are the one who has to live with your decision just as I have to live with my past decisions. I just wish someone could explain why the hypocrisy as to whether or not it is murder or choice. Anyone?
