The Court's Decision

Do you think people really know the consequences of their actions?

From something big to something really small, all our actions have repercussions. I think what can be most sad is that most of the time, the younger you are, the less likely you are to realize what you're doing can have an impact on your immediate or maybe more long term future.

I was reading an article today about what today marks in our country. It's the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I'm not going to get into the constitutionality of abortion and start a debate. The only thing I will say is that I'm pro-life. But as I was reading this article, it made me think about how this decision came to pass and how it was ultimately a consequence of several peoples actions.

You might be saying "huh?"... but this is how I reason that (and you might have to think a little abstractly):

The people elected Presidents... a consequence (of sorts) of voting.
Those Presidents appointed Supreme Court Justices... a consequence of the results of the vote by the people, because they picked the pres.
A woman had sex... the consequence was getting pregnant... and she wanted a right to choose what to do with her own body.
She went to court.
And the court decision was a consequence from that woman's case/situation.

Maybe that's a little bit of a stretch, but hopefully you can semi see where my logic is.

Either way, every action has a consequence. And ironically enough, those consequences might not always affect you, even though they were YOUR actions.

To summarize my brief Roe v. Wade mention, I will leave this not so brief statement from that article in order to recognize the anniversary of the court's decision:
"Almost four decades later, somewhere around 50 million unborn children have been victimized by the breathtaking arrogance of the Court. They committed no crimes, were afforded no due process or trials at all, and every appeal made on their behalf has fallen on deaf ears. They have been killed in the most brutal ways imaginable, unceremoniously sucked from their mother’s wombs, and carelessly discarded without even the dignity of an unmarked grave. Every reasonable effort to curb the abuses of the system that has produced these gruesome results has been summarily rejected by society’s robed masters. And so the carnage marches on."

Again, I don't care where you stand on abortion, but if you do believe that an abortion is killing a life... 50 million... wow.
