Sorry todraw you into such a heated topic

Dear Bluefonsy,

The matter of abortion will remain a contentious crossroad of confusion until it is approached with observational wisdom and common sense. The matter of personal opinion and individual values of the many should not dictate or impose upon the one whose life is most immediately affected.

This very simple dispute can be resolved by addressing two principle questions:
Who is primarily being affected?
What is the reason for the abortion?

Those who contest to the act of abortion do so from a seat of morality in which they dictate the moral implications of taking the life of an unborn child, which has no voice through which to express a vote of defence. Those in this camp of argument see themselves as advocates for the vulnerability of life, yet often fail to recognise the vulnerability to the life of the biological mother. This brings us to the first question.

Who is primarily being affected?

The most immediate answer one would assume is that of the unborn child. This however is purely determined by your point of view and perspective; what you are able to see, understand and accept within the larger picture. To begin with, life does not begin in the womb. Life has no beginning and no end; life has always existed and cannot not exist. Aborting a biological birthing process will not ever abort the ability or capacity of its assigned consciousness to continue existing, living and creating in another form, dimension or frequency of time. The ''soul'' assigned to that unborn offspring is not something which is trapped inside the biological foetus. In actuality, the human soul is the element which develops over many years through the accumulation of experiences. It is not something which is made manifest in full bloom within the womb. The consciousness of the spirit, which remains in the spirit world at all times, attaches the etheric cord to the biological cells that a human soul may develop.

During abortion the etheric cord simply detaches and the consciousness vacates the biological immersion process.
The consciousness then has the option of replicating the cellular structure and DNA of the genetic material to grow and birth in another dimension. No experience of suffering is involved because it has not yet learnt how to define what suffering is within its current state of being at that point. The aborted consciousness does not in consequence become earthbound or become stuck in ''lower realms''. That is another myth. There are specialists within the spirit world who tend to such matters as these and are quite proficient at it.

It may furthermore be argued by some that the aborted child could have had many opportunities to become and achieve so much. This is true. However, there never exists a time or place when any sovereign being which exists is unable to access opportunities for achievement, growth and continued experience of Self. There is nothing you can do, and nothing anyone else can do to prevent life, any and all life, from gaining access to further experience. No action you can take can stop any other being from experiencing more of who and what they are. The multiverse in its design will not allow it. This includes what some understand as murder. It takes a leap in spiritual wisdom to understand and accept this truth.

The one who is primarily affected then when it comes to abortion is the biological mother. It is the biological mother who, within their learnt concept of what suffering is, is the one who suffers the most. The biological changes which take place within the mothers own body can feel intrusive, painful and stressful. This is so even if the mother chooses to have the child.

If the mother chooses not to have the child and go through the ordeal of labour then it is not for others to burden upon that mother an experience she does not wish for herself. No being should dictate, on the grounds of their own personal value systems, what another being should and should not experience. In an example where the mother was forcibly violated against her will, who is to dictate that such victim must endure further misery and torment by way of obligatory gestation for the next 40 weeks.

Which brings us to the second question.

What is the reason for the abortion?

There may be many reasons why an abortion is considered, ranging from forced pregnancy to religious beliefs, or to health concerns and relationship factors. Each reason speaks for itself and invites its own scope of understanding and compassion. Often times when the reason is not truly thought out or its wider implications considered decisions can often be turned by others offering the right wisdom and insight. If they do not wish to keep the child but are willing to undergo the gestation process it should be considered as an option opening the door to adoption. What is required is the right support at the right time for the right decision to be made by the mother. It is not for others to then judge them for their decision, for it is their decision to make, but instead to continue to provide support for that individual without conditions.

The test of your greatest love and compassion is not through making others do what you think is best, but by supporting them unconditionally through what you perceive to be their biggest mistake.
