I recently heard on the radio a story that took place a number of years ago where a young woman decided to abort her baby because she feared that when the baby is born that it would add the “turmoil” that this planet is in with regards to global warming and saving the planet. She claimed that if this baby that would have been born would have required fuel to keep it warm, food to feed it and clothing made from synthetic material to keep it from being exposed to the elements. As this baby was being killed in the womb the “mother” begged the abortionist to sterilize her so that she wouldn’t run the risk of having another baby.
As the woman was recovering the boyfriend gave her a card congratulating this woman of the choice she made in order to save the planet.
This story made me sick. I can’t believe that it is getting to the point that people are willing to sacrifice a life of another in order to save the planet. I wonder if this woman that did this really understands what she did and is being held accountable mentally for her action.
What makes this story even more sad to me is that these two individuals will never experience the joy that one feels when you hold the hand of that little one that looks into your eyes with unconditional love, trust and watch the development of this little boy/girl grow and learn and experience their first snow fall, watch and listen to birds fly on a warm April afternoon, watch fireworks at the ball park on the Fourth of July, or go for a drive and see the autumn leaves in the canyons in late September.
Is it really coming down to this? Are people going to start killing themselves off and sacrificing innocent lives in order to “save the planet?” Is this what social responsibility is going to be seen as years from now?
You be the judge and make your own decisions, I have already made mine.
