While discussing issues during a meeting I was asked where I stand on abortion. I was directed to give a for or against answer. I would not answer unless given sometime to explain first. Here is my answer.
Every time the Canadian Armed Forces, police, a doctor, paramedic,
firefighter or healthcare provider has to make a decision that causes another persons
death, as a member of a democratic society – I take that personally. I am hurt
and feel great sorrow that such decisions have to be made. I also wish that
such decisions would never have to be made. However, we live in a world that is
not perfect.
In light of all that, I wish I would never have to be in
favour of causing the death of anyone, for any reason. Sadly, such decisions
are made everyday whether I like it or not and I regret every single time a
person is harmed and/or dies from a decision made on my behalf by our government.
I would love to live in a world where weapons were not carried
by police or have the need for an armed military. Every single death is one too
many. If you are comfortable with the death caused by our military, police and
etc…, yet bark about abortion – hypocrisy is where you sit.
I am against every other
harmful act being levied against anyone else for any reason.
