Tell me your secret, tell me everything

When it comes to gay rights, and gay marriage, I am still completely undecided on where I stand. Especially because I have yet to reconcile my societal view with my religious one.

When it comes to euthanasia, I am also pretty undecided on my stand. Although I am a firm believer that the only one allowed to tell you when you're going to die is God, in situations where you have loved ones suffering in pain and torment, it's hard as a Christian to stand by and watch helplessly.

But when it comes to abortion... Okay, perhaps I'm completely talking out of my ass here. Let me be the first to admit that.

I just don't believe that there is any good enough reason to abort a child (who is still alive).

Obviously, it hasn't happened to me yet. And perhaps, I'd feel differently if I was in that sort of situation. But right now, I simply cannot think of a reason good enough to want to end the life of a human being whose life technically hadn't even begun yet. 

I guess I just believe firmly that every life that is made has its own purpose here on earth. It's like being in a big production. There are the main actors, the extras, the props, the music. Every single person is important. Every single person, unborn or otherwise, has a soul.

Okay. What if the baby was conceived out of rape?

Yes, I would understand how hard must be. Okay, maybe I *don't* or *won't* understand the feeling, not having gone through it. But think about it... Emotional/Spiritual stuff aside, Are you really punishing an unborn foetus for the crimes of someone else?

It's just that. Life is so precious. One day you're here. Next day, you could die.

But who the hell are you to dictate when life should end?

But again, perhaps I'm just talking out of my ass.
