Abortion... Think About It...!

Sometimes back I read in the news about a lion that killed a family and the man poisoned it. This man was being pursued by the police; to persecute him for killing a man eater! An animal that was a threat to many more lives; an animal that had killed his family! I don't know were it all ended, but he was on the run; running from the government that couldn't protect him and his family from a man eater; a government that protects animals from people.

Think about these questions:
1) Did you know that some governments are more passionate at protecting animal rights than human rights?
2) Did you know that some governments would rather make money at the expense of human lives than protect or save human lives at the expense of money?
3) Did you know that many animals on this planet are living more comfortable lives than humans; and this is made by governments that do not care about their people?

Anyway, that is something many of us know. After all, some governments care more about revenging their enemies than providing basic needs for their citizens; and if you've been in the media between 2002 - 2008 then you're my witness.

A government will dish out billions of its currency on an animal research while people die of lack of sufficient medical care! Obviously, knowing such things will stir your anger and you'll wish you where a super man or girl, and you would change the course of events in favor of men and women's lives or livelihood.

Anyway, with in such cases above, it's easy to tell who right and who is in need. But hear comes the case of abortion. Abortion is a very completed matter for many governments to decide on, especially whether it should be legalized or not. Judgments of whether abortion should be legalized or not are very circumstantial. Such questions as;-

1) What if a woman is not ready to conceive?
2) What if she is of a pre-mature age?
3) What is it is out of a crime that she conceived, say rape or defilement?
4) What is the father is irresponsible or even denies?
5) What if the father is incapable of sustaining the pregnancy?
6) And, the funny one of all, what if the man doesn't simply want the baby?
7) Lastly, what if one of the parents if insane or a premature?

Should the government legalize abortion in such cases or not? What standards or measures should be taken to prove that the permitted abortion case lays under the above instances? When I look at such cases, I then ask my self whether there are any exeptions or not since to me, it seems abortion can have been fully legalized since almost all cases lay somewhere in one or more cases above.

Should the government protect the babies from such a preventive or murderous practice? I personally think the government should also give some protection to these young people-to-be especially in cases where the mother is fully grown and health-wise capable of giving birth. Religious beliefs may not be just here if considered (since many of them are extreme...) while taking such decisions; it's very true.

Critic…? How do you help…?

The other day while I was seated in a restaurant, I sat close to this guy, so informed, he could easily sort the best from the worst no matter how much it disguises. He was commenting on anything, of course negatively, on the TV show on the other screen, on the movie on this screen, the restaurant arrangement, the dressing code of the waiters and anything the crossed his eyes and rung in his mind. He had good arguments, informed points worth noting, but the expression was poor.

As I walked out of the restaurant, I met this other pedestrian like me and as we by-passed a 2 years old boy holding the Bible with so much courage and preaching anything good about it (the Bible) that would come on his mind, the gentle man commented, “this young man doesn’t know anything worth noting”. He was wrong of course, the little man knew just what he was talking about and other people contributed money right before him in support of his ministry.

As I entered a plaza to get some staff into my hands, I met this other gang boys at a “man age” and they were criticizing anything that crossed their eyes and moved their thinking. They talked national and world politics, sports; football in particular, fashion and more; obviously I took sometime close to them, noting what they were discussing, criticizing anyone, anything.

I have discovered something about critics in my years; they are well informed people (sometime mistaken or misinformed) who want “wrong” things “right”, but cant change anything except talking about it.

I have told friends, many times, that a good teacher isn’t a very informed person, no, but one man or woman who is willing to share his/her idea(s) with anyone just to teach them right, help them understand or improve their lives and decision making.

I imagine, if all we know as critics were good teachers, how informed or right would our society be? This is why I have decided to devote most of my life to writing in a way of informing masses. I wish, many times, I had a “louder” medium through which I could help people know, understand and do the right things rather than comment without helping.

Criticizing helps you analyze facts about something, but a good critic is one who doesn’t only expose the negatives and challenge the positives, but one who will provide recommendations on what he has analyzed. Don’t just talk about anything on the streets, in restaurants or bars.

If you’re well informed, and you have a good understanding and judgment of facts and factors, you don’t have to aim at winning but helping people know, understand and do; come join my crew of teachers, inspired by reality.
