The march for life is a huge annual event. Hundreds of thousands of people gather in D.C. to support a cause they all believe in. Many of them are young people. College, high school and even middle school students hop on a bus with their classmates to drive several hours to support a cause that is not about any of them.
In supporting the rights of the unborn, those marching are fighting not just for the rights of the unborn babies who have no voice, but for the mothers. It is extremely important that the world, especially those who oppose the pro-life movement, understand that those marching care about the mothers just as much as the babies.
By marching, we, the pro-life generation are declaring that there is another choice that does not require the termination of a human person's life. We want you to understand that no matter what caused it, your body now contains another person's body. If that person had a voice, they would choose to live.
Abortion takes away that other person's choice without a second thought. The world doesn't understand, but the march for life is a march for women's rights. The big difference between this march and say the women's march, is that the people marching are not marching for themselves.
They are selflessly marching for the rights of people the world is trying to say have no rights and they have no voice to help themselves. They are fighting and believing in a cause that does not just affect them. Where the matter being considered affects not just the quality of life of another, but their ability to live, period.
By saying that we get to choose who lives and who dies, we are saying that we get to play God, and that is not a right we should have. A bill in New York was just passed, saying that abortion is legal all the way until birth.
However, New York also has a law stating that the death penalty is illegal and immoral. Think about that. It is illegal to put to death criminals, but it is seen as moral and legal to kill innocent human beings before they even come into this world. We make the unborn suffer the consequences of either our actions or the actions of another.
There are those who believe abortion is wrong in all circumstances, except for the case of rape. Rape is a terrible, terrible thing that no one should ever have to go through. But by choosing to have an abortion because of rape, you may not realize that you are choosing to make that child pay for the terrible crimes of the man who did wrong to you.
I am not saying that in cases of all these unplanned pregnancies you have to suck it up and raise the kid. There is always the option of adoption. You'd be surprised that there are actually a lot of cases where there are many people who want to adopt, but not enough kids to adopt.
Some people are looking to adopt because they want a family but haven't been able to have kids. By choosing to carry the child to full term, you are giving another the opportunity to perhaps have that family that you are not quite ready for. Just remember, giving your child up for adoption is always an option.
