Trump The Baby-Killer?

How Our Possible President Does Not Disagree With Removing Abortion

Trump The Baby-Killer?
American Pregnancy

Donald Trump says that abortion laws should stay, but he doesn't agree that it is murder. I'm afraid that I do not agree with him, as I firmly believe that it is indeed murder. Babies who can not escape the womb naturally and are pronounced dead are murdered in my eyes.

I believe that babies are conceived immediately when the egg and sperm connect to form the living being. Cells live, cells grow, cells form the child - how is that not life? How is that not a human being? Do we not constitute murder as killing a human being? How is abortion an exception? Ask yourselves these questions and see if you reach my conclusion - abortion is indeed murder.

Abortion, for those of you who have forgotten or otherwise do not know, is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.

The image above shows a human being does it not? Does it not show a body with arms, feet, eyes? And Donald Trump thinks that aborting this being is not murder? Does he not remember the visits with his wife to check on his children? The sonograms?

It is inconceivable to me that he does not think that this is pure murder, in the most literal sense! The definition of murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. How is taking a baby - unable to say or do anything to defend itself, and forcing it to leave before it is finished developing key organs and other necessities of life not murder? How is it that child's fault that the mother did not want it? Why should the child give up their life because the mother can not give that child a good life? There are families in need of children, those who cannot have children, would love the opportunity to adopt a child. Even if the child is conceived from an act of rape, why not let another family take the child if you do not want it?

According to Guttmacher:

• Nearly half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and about four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion.

•Twenty-one percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion.

• In 2011, 1.06 million abortions were performed, down 13% from 1.21 million in 2008. From 1973 through 2011, nearly 53 million legal abortions occurred.

• Each year, 1.7% of women aged 15–44 have an abortion. Half have had at least one previous abortion.

• At least half of American women will experience an unintended pregnancy by age 45, and at 2008 abortion rates, one in 10 women will have an abortion by age 20, one in four by age 30 and three in 10 by age 45.

Of course, all of this is strictly my personal belief and it does not reflect the views of others, so you have your own opinion and ideas on this matter.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
