Abortion

So one of my favorite bands released a new album recently called White Crosses. I listened to the song White Crosses and at first had no idea what it was about. I later realized it was about abortion and how in Florida,(where the band is from) hundreds of miniature white crosses were being posted in the front lawn of churches, one cross for every abortion that someone had in the area. I didn't think too much about it until a couple months later when I actually passed a church near my house and saw these white crosses and it hit me. Those people that had an abortion probably have to pass that church and see that and the sign in front. It's almost as if the church has no consideration over those people and instead wants them to feel guilty about what they did. Overall it's just one big guilt trip. Now my personal opinion of abortion is that it's wrong. Everyone knows that there's a chance they can get pregnant if having sex and that nothing really can 100% prevent this from happening. If someone gets pregnant, it's their own fault and they have no one to blame but themselves. Having an abortion, to me, is killing a live being just because you made a mistake. People have so many excuses for it but you know what I say? There are no excuses! People argue that abortion is necessary because say for instance someone is too young and can't support the child, well you can always put the child up for adoption etc. Anyway, even though I disagree with abortion, I still think putting a guilt trip on those people is wrong. It's not like people enjoy having an abortion and many people that do have abortions, I'm sure feel bad as it is. Having these white crosses wont change anything, all they'll do is make a person feel sick to their stomach. Billboards are enough. We don't need to go the extreme to make a person feel bad about themselves. They've already had the abortion so it's done and over with, nothing will change that, not even a guilt trip. Oh, and by the way, I hope everyone had a magnificent Thanksgiving!
