In recent discussions with friends on line and a continuation of The Evolution of the Human Soul I delved into the idea of what the soul would learn as a fetus, and what it means to have an abortion.
It isn't as common in news headlines, but it was once common practice for Christian and other religious groups to protest outside abortion clinics and not allow women through. It was seen as murder of a child who had no choice on what happened to them, nor did they see it as a redeemable sin. Part of my theory is an attack on this school of thought, but it is also to allow deeper insight into the evolution of the soul and what needs to be learned before we can advance. Amoungst some of these things are the different phases of life and survival within the womb.
Living in the womb, as we know, is quite different from anything we will experiece with our concious minds. We hear the continuous sounds of heartbeats, lungs breathing, organs working and exterior noises we cannot comprehend, and I can only imagine it to be quite medatative, however repedative. We do not eat, breathe or use our mouths for anything short of opening and closing. We don't use our genitals or rears to dispose of waste, and we can do little more than simply stay curled up in fluids that probably neither taste nor smell good (if we had concious memory of that either). Conciously, we remember nothing. Subconciously, we remember everything. Every last moment f our existance is recorded here like a never-ending video camera. It is here we can experience the world of a growing fetus and what it might be like with a concious mind. It is here that we cmmunicate wih he higher self and it communicates with us and it is here that our life lessons are learned.
Now, not being a doctor, I can only guess and what a baby could learn in the womb, but the higher self, while in the candy store, has agreed with someone to split ther sweets this life, and the mother will either miscarry or abort the child. In either circumstance, the higher self of both mother and child will learn and it is part of the completion of the candy store.
Abortions are a freewill choice, and as explained in Theory of Balance, there is a freewill choice to be made. If we could not have abortions, the world would be over-populated and chaotic, because there are thousands, if not millions of children aborted every year. These children are the results of an accidental condom break, not using a condom at all, the pill failing, miscalculation and so on. The child, loved though that it might be, the mother has made the difficult decission (as for most, it is difficult) to give up the child in an abortion.
I have taken a look at the 10 arguments against abortion and here are the arguements ad the spiritual and material reasons why and why not.
First arguement is that it is murder, and this expands across a number of their statements. Argueably, yes it is murder, as the child has no choice if it lives or dies. Practically, the child won't have a lot of choice for a nuber of years. And following that, this and none of the other arguements have looked at the point that some parents cannot afford to look after a child. Arguement nine is that a lot of women who are having abortions are undereducated on the results of abortion. If they are undereducated in that, what chances do they have of looking after a child for the ext eighteen plus years? Some can't get pensions, some have nowhere to live, some have no one to support them. Shuold they carry a child around as well to add to their survival? I don't deny a child can tur some of them into good parents, but it isn't a cure to that either. Spiritually, this lesson for the mother is to live without something she may want or to wonder what if. true, it is painful to say people need to learn this, true some regret it, but many don't, because they needed to pt themselves first. The guilt and regret are the same we might feel at a relatives death. What if they lived longer for me? You'll never know. What yu did know is that a child was a bad idea because it would bring you to ruin.
Following arguements are about prevention of children in cases of rape or incest. You ahve 24-48 hours to take this choice, and it is a form of abortion, so this arguement impails on itself. And I'm happy to guess that the number of people who say this have not been raped. the shame you feel after being raped, the uncertainty and pain, you need to deal with all that first. If you discover you are pregnant, then the abortion can be dealt with later when you MIGHT be a litle more emotioally secure. The abortion could make your emotional situation worse, might make it easier. Could you look at a child knowing it was a product of being raped? If your answer was yes, I don't honestly think you have been raped. But I could be worng. Rape is a painful experience and one our souls will have to go through at one point or another, and it sucks, but of all the women I have spoken to, there is no chance they would keep a child of rape if their rapes led to that.
The next arguement is adoption, and this is where I do agree, a child can be given up for adoption. I know people who have had to learn that this life. they want to know their birth parents badly and probably never will. I know parents who have lost children to adoption and are sad that their children have not come to find them after they have opened the file for them t find out who they are. And if every child had been born, we'd be back to over-population. I know it doesn't seem like much in places like Australia or America, but in China, a baby is born once every 23 seconds. Add in all the abortions and you'd be looking at a baby every 12 seconds at an estimate. Still think it is a good idea? Adoption is a lesson we have to learn, some children will be born and given to adoption clinics and that part of life goes on. This is a freewill choice of the mother, which is the same as having an abortion or not.
Next arguement; abortion is used as a form of controseption. And this is quite true. Arguement ten is also true, in that abortions can have both psychological and physical repocussions. First of all, I agree with point one, in that abortion is not a god idea on a continuous basis, and is most commonly the result of sleeping around, and probably being paid for it. Look at that, another life lesson. And it is true that abortion can cause problems medically and mentally. Did you know birth can do the same, and that in a number of women, having a child gave the lupus, which can kill. It is also like taking some medicines, in that you might not be aware of the side effects until it is too late. Or being spiked with LSD, in that you will relive the trip unexpectably and unpredictably for the rest f your life. there is more than one thing in life that will cause anguish, and we need to accept that we cannot be protected forever and that nothing is failsafe. We will have to risk something eventually, and that very few of us will go through life from start to finish without that risk in their concious decission making.
Finally, it is argued that tax payers shouldn't fund abrtion clinics. That is up for people to decide what they think. My opinion is that the tax payers are getting something they might need t use, and if not, they are helping someone else It is better than the old alternative from less than 100 years ago, where a pregnant woman was beaten in the abdomin a few times with excessive force to have an abortion. It is safer and less painful in MOST circumstances.
Now, what I have describbed in my upper responces is scenarios in many different directions. What you will find is that each one is one we can relate to somehow, even if not directly.
The basis is of this is to extend the link between two of my theories so that people can understand what we have to g through to evolve as souls, why giving people a choice is important, and the conciquences of not having a choice. This interlinking of theory can also include the Restarunts of Destiny theory, in that one/many of these things are a life lesson to a person, but it is up to us before incarnation, before we become a part of this cycle again.
