For those who don't already know, my son was born a week before my twenty-third birthday. He was the greatest birthday present I have ever received, and not a day goes by that I don't thank God for His blessing. What makes the birth of my son even more special is that he was planned - planned because his egg-donor (the tamest of nicknames I use for his bio-mom) miscarried an earlier, unplanned pregnancy.
I was there when my namesake was born, and I was the proudest papa ever. I'm still the proudest father of one of the finest human beings I've ever had the fortune to know. I was the first to hold him, even before his egg-donor, and I almost didn't put him down for his first three days.
When my son was about six months old, his egg-donor decided she wanted to have another child. It was a feeble attempt to save a failing relationship, but we were just young, and stupid, enough to think that it might work. It didn't.
Four and a half months into the second pregnancy, the egg-donor, unbeknownst to me, decided she didn't want to be pregnant anymore. She told me she was going to visit her cousin one morning as I was leaving for work, but that's decidedly not where she wound up going.
To make a long story somewhat shorter, while I was at work, she decided to go murder my second child. She was proud of what she had done. She bragged about it, got right in my face about it. It took every single ounce of self-control I had to keep from killing her where she stood as she taunted me with the fact that she murdered my child.
And yes, that's exactly what abortion is. I don't sugarcoat things, and if you've ever read my blog before, you already know that I don't do "politically correct." Abortion IS murder. Even if I wasn't Catholic, I'd base my opposition to the murder of the most innocent amongst us on the scientific and medical fact that human life begins at conception.
I left her that night, luckily without killing her, and in doing so, I made the hardest decision I've ever had to make - I left my son there with her. It worked out later on, though, as she essentially dropped him off on my doorstep two weeks after his first birthday, and I obtained full custody shortly thereafter.
That background information is necessary for you to understand the biggest reason why I'm so passionate in my stand against abortion, and so you'll know why I'm absolutely disgusted by THIS. Yes, they made a movie, released in theaters, that's being called an "abortion comedy" - as if there's something funny about murdering a child.
The lead actress of the movie Obvious Child says it's "not an agenda movie." The writer-director called it "a reaction against movies like Juno and Knocked Up, where unplanned pregnancies result in positive birth stories." According to this window-licker, those movies were a "misrepresentation of women onscreen when it came to unplanned pregnancy" and "just didn't feel true." I'm sorry, but even with the appalling prevalence of abortion in today's society, there's still more births than abortions. So what, exactly, doesn't ring true about mothers giving birth to their babies?
The pro-murder crowd is something akin to drooling in their praise for this movie. The president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards called it in a tweet "an incredibly funny, honest and smart movie about abortion," while the organization itself tweeted, "So excited!" Cecile Richards, by the way, is the woman who, when asked when she believed human life began, said, "I don't know that it's really relevant to the conversation" about abortion.
But remember, it's not an agenda movie, even though the filmmakers apparently worked very closely with Planned Parenthood to depict the abortion scene accurately and "positively." Yes, they actually take the cameras into the room where the procedure is performed. Sounds like that will be a funny scene, doesn't it? Nothing to see here. Move along!
The movie is getting rave reviews by the leftist media, one reviewer even going so far as saying it's "not only the best abortion rom-com I've ever seen, but it's also the best movie I've seen so far this year." I won't detail any of the other reviews, as I'm already too disgusted by this entire thing.
We already have to deal with the fact that abortion is legal and accepted by far too many, but now it's being glorified by having a romantic comedy built around it. But remember, there's no agenda here.
We are losing this fight, and I can only pray that God forgives us when all is said and done. Lord knows, we're going to need that forgiveness. ~ Hunter
