Give Beethoven a Chance

I think it’s easy for me to say this, I wouldn’t consider abortion as an option unless it’s a life and death situation. Like an ectopic pregnancy or if having the baby would mean that BOTH of us will be in danger. I wouldn’t want to submit my husband with the pain of losing a child and then losing me.

Anyway, I think if a baby is unwanted, the mother can always go through having the baby adopted. I know that the institutions here in the Philippines are not the best to leave the baby behind but it is much better to give the child a chance to live life. Abortion shouldn’t be used as a means to better one’s life. Sometimes, God gives us crosses to bear, but remember that He doesn’t give them unless we know that we can handle it.

I remember one of the emails that I read and it just asks the question, If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion? If you said yes, Congratulations, you just killed Beethoven.
