Is it about life, pain or comfort?

Two nights ago, I was going through the TV's channels until I was stuck to this one particular program named "Dispatched: Abortion, what you need to know". Apparently, UK government legally allows abortion in this country, as long as the pregnancy has not reached the 24th week. The reason is that: the scientific study shows that the fetus (baby in the womb) can only start to feel pain in the 24th week, where the brain is fully developed.
Some agree with the 'law' and feel comfortable to carry on the abortion activities in their clinics/hospitals, thinking that as long as the fetus cannot feel pain, they are not 'fully' alive. Not all agree for the same reason. One lady that spoke in the programme, said that we should make abortion legal in the thoughts of the women; What if they are not ready? What if pregnancy and baby become obstacle to their future? And many more what ifs...
Some, clearly, disagree to making abortion as legal. One argument is that premature babies (even the ones younger than 24 weeks) can feel pain and, thus, it clearly shows that fetus, no matter how old it is, can feel pain. Another talks about religion, humanity and cruelty.

To those who agree, I really have a disturbing question... 'Isn't abortion equal to murder?'
They never ask to be created and, if they can choose, would prefer not to come to this cruel world. As humans should know that everything we do (or decide to do) results consequences to follow the decision, then women (and men, too!) should know that whatever type of sex they have can lead to the possibility of being pregnant.
So, why, after taking the decision (and probably enjoying it at that time being), they cannot face the consequence it brings? It makes me think how coward are people in this world today, how cruel and selfish humans can be...

Well, it will not be surprising if there is any of you that disagree with my beliefs. Please don't get mad at me. Take this as a someone's opinion out of billions of opinions of the world.

God bless!

Just received the news that I didn't get the £20,000 scholarship award. I am feeling sad for a bit, but thank Jesus that this means He has prepared bigger blessings for me and Lan.
Have a blessed weekend, friends!

    haha, aku sih nggak setuju sama aborsi. Itu berarti para pelaku aborsi kan menolak untuk bertanggung-jawab atas perbuatannya. Berani berbuat harus berani bertanggung-jawab dong. Kalo misalnya nggak siap punya anak, ngapain jg have sex yang potensinya gede untuk kebobolan?? hahahaha.... :)

    btw, ngomongin anak apa jangan2 bentar lagi "berisi" neh?? huahahahhaha.... lol

    yah aborsi sih liat dulu alasannya kenapa... kalo hanya karna tidak berani bertanggung jawab atas apa yang udah dilakuin yah gak setubuh.. eh setuju... tapi kalo misalnya ada kelainan.. ama janin atau mungkin trauma karna janin adalah hasil dari suatu keterpaksaan ( kasus perkosaan misalnya ) mungkin itu bisa dijadikan pengecualian..

T uesday, 29th August 2006 has became a special day for both Lan and I. Why? Well... let me tell you the story. Around five in the afternoon, Lan rang me telling me not to cook, because he will treat me for dinner. So I just waited with no thought of what will happen afterward. In the middle of me watching Marrying a Mafia , my phone rang again. It was Lan, saying that he is outside the entrance door of the hall I live. It was about six o'clock. I quickly paused the movie, grabbed my keys and ran to open the door for him. When I met him at the door, he was formally clothed and holding a bouquet of roses (and a plastic bag). I was surprised... for him to buy me a bouquet of roses in United Kingdom was the first time, I don't ask for it, because I know flowers are quite expensive here. Suspicion came to me for awhile along with the question 'what is he up to this time?!' . But I quickly brushed it off thinking that maybe he was just being nice since we only have several d...

A khirnya ludes sudah kertas lipat yang dikirim mamiku dalam jangka waktu kurang dari seminggu! Sayangnya jumlahnya kurang, jadinya botolku hanya terisi separuh. *Ada yang mau nyumbang ngirim? Karena aku tahu di sini tidak ada yang jual kertas lipat yang seperti itu, adanya yang bujur sangkar saja* So, here is the picture. Gak terlalu jelas sih, tapi ya kanggo lah ya hehe... Tak terasa sudah 2/3 dari liburanku terlewati, tugas belum semuanya tuntas, tapi mata terasa penat karena harus membaca banyak jurnal dan buku tebal untuk mencari data... *sob* Jadi minggu depan, bakal full time doing homework deh! Tadi *jumat* aku bereksperimen di dapur. Bikin brownies... belum aku coba sih rasanya bagaimana kue yang baru keluar dari oven itu, tapi waktu mengaduk adonan, rasanya sudah pas. Aku bikin kue dalam rangka ultah si Lan tanggal 13 kemarin. Kebetulan dia sudah kembali dari Cambridge, jadi besok aku akan berkunjung ke tempatnya dengan membawa kue brownies dan hadiah ulang tahunnya . Semog...
