My Unpopular Opinion About Whether Anti-Abortionists and Pro-Choice People Should Agree to Disagree?
Yes but not for the reasons you think — the fact is that under either side’s view, the unborn child does not require the protection of human laws
I used to think that both sides of this debate need to agree to disagree for common-sense reasons. When one thinks about it, how can someone who is pro-choice tell someone who believes that life begins at conception tell the latter that they are wrong? By the same reasoning, how can people who are opposed to abortion tell people who do not believe that life exists until the fetus can live outside the womb tell the latter they are wrong?
They clearly disagree with each other but who is either to tell the other that they are wrong as these are matters that science cannot establish.
It seemed like an irreconcilable matter. Putting aside the “pro-life” folk who are clearly anything but, there certainly are people who believe in their hearts that abortion is murder and truly feel that the unborn child needs protection. I have had sympathy for both sides of the non-hypocrites in these matters.
Then I went deep, as I am prone to do. I believe in soul contracts. I believe that there are two immutable aspects of every soul’s contract — date of incarnation and date of death. I have written about how the latter makes suicide even more senseless than many see.
Then I remembered something my highest power said to me about souls on the nirvana track:
“To attain nirvana, you would go on a completely different cycle, and that usually happens after a vast number of lifetimes lived. The lifetimes that you start to choose to live [at that point] are with great suffering. Think of the severely retarded, the severely mentally ill, POWs, people who have died violently at the hands of great evil and even stillborns who give up their life experience for the host.”
Aha! The soul of a child who will never draw breath agreed to that outcome as part of its soul contract. The mother will face a choice but regardless of her decision, that child will never be born. It agreed to die in utero. If the mother decides not to abort, the fetus incarnated by that soul will miscarriage or be stillborn.
I wrote about the abortion debate with this in mind the other day in ILLUMINATION-Curated
but I discussed it more from the POV that because the belief about when life begins is a religious or spiritual belief, laws that criminalize pre-viability abortion violate the First Amendment’s ban on the establishment of religion. I saved the detailed soul contract analysis for this piece.
The fact is that under either side’s view, the unborn child does not require the protection of human laws.
In Rama I create, with soul-energy surging through my body, inspiring me and breathing wind into my sails,
