Baby Blues

Since I almost witnessed the birth of a beautiful baby boy I've been filled with joy! just looking at him is more than enough to make me smile, his mother is also so happy and excited at the birth of her first child. Its quite remarkable to observe how he senses her presence and knows when she's near. I could comfort him for hours when he's crying but once he feels the presence of mummy he stops and waits for her to gently place her palms on his head and bottom, lift him with delicacy and place him gently on her arms ready to nurse and cuddle. Honestly that sight is truly enchanting.
However I am  struck with the symptoms of baby blues which usually include depression and heightened emotions and that's because after seeing such a wonderful sight I'm saddened by the number of people who think abortion is o.k.
I have always been pro-life but not really passionate about it till I witnessed first hand the numerous number of women and young girls who troop into the abortion clinic daily and also the number of abortions that take place in a day round the world, quite frankly its frightening!
Some people give excuses that if one is not prepared to be a parent one has the choice to "terminate" pregnancy, issues like the age of the woman (e.g a teenager) and income are usually given as reasons why abortion is o.k. In the first instance I believe if a teenager  thinks she is mature enough to have sex then she should be mature enough to be a mother, after all that's what puberty is all about, our organs develop for that specific function; to house an unborn child so she should also be ready to take responsibility for her actions, moreover society is trying to teach the youth responsibility and strength of character so this is a very good way to do it. In the case of incest and rape like I said in an earlier post ,the government or society needs to take action, the culprit needs to be dealt with accordingly, however one needs to understand its not the child who did the act, the child became a product of the act and is completely innocent. So should one blame the child for the criminal offence?
in the case of income, God always finds a way to help, He has made it in such a way that charities and organisations emerge solely for this purpose, to take care of women who don't have the means to fend for themselves and their child because no matter how one looks at it, the end never justifies the means. An example could be seen from an article I read from an organisation called Precious Life;  if there is poverty in a home of 3 children does it mean the father or mother should kill two in order to survive?
People also say that there are not enough resources to feed the world and bringing children into the world worsens the situation, our world is blessed with many resources and our problem is not lack of resources but mismanagement of resources. If one feels there isn't enough to go round then we should all decide not to waste food and try to manage the resources we have. Tonnes of food are wasted  almost every time so if we manage food resources properly, population would never be a problem.
There are more tangible reasons why abortion is not o.k but these are a few of them. No one is judging those who have had or think its o.k. We are all entitled to our opinions but its very reasonable to try to make one understand that this act kills a human being. No matter the location or the size, the  human foetus has the same characteristics and features as a born baby and same as a full grown man or woman, it will not grow into a dog, cat or plant. So if we all agree that a new born baby is a human being, I don't think its difficult to understand that the baby in the womb is more than just a potential life.
