An Abortion...

There are some religious people who have very strong views on abortion. Yes, strong anti-abortion views. This is a view just based on their faith/religion and not based on science. Why are they against abortion?

I own a book written by one such religious man on abortion. From that, what I understand is that his view (I guess it reflects the views of such groups) is that we do not have the right to take a life.

Dr. Tiller was one of the ‘abortion doc’s in the U.S. who was always under criticism. We can find lots of anti-Tiller sites on the net promoted by some faith groups. They describe his acts with added horror and color. It did not end on sites or pamphlets but landed in physical attacks too, many a times.

Dr. Tiller was a Christian, by all means. He was regular at church and he was the Usher in his church. As we can see, he is educated too (to read and understand a book or scripture).

Finally, the hardcore faith people won. They succeeded in killing him, the other day. After shooting, the shooter did not surrender to police, though he is ‘religious’ and follows ‘scripture’, but he ran away. He got caught, finally (by that time, he managed to travel 273 km).

What was his good deed? Did he save a life? He KILLED a human, he took a life. He created a widow. He made some fatherless. That too, when the victim was attending his church (and his wife was singing in the choir, when he was shot). May be next time they will kill the women who undergoes abortion too, though they did that at their own will. Who knows?

What an irony! If we happened to read ‘Thou shall abort the aborter’, we better re-check what we are reading, irrespective of our faith.

Yes, people can debate on abortion. But killing each other is not the solution here. That too if we believe in God. Even the God could feel ashamed when such an act done by his believer.

Well, just like any other religion based killing, religion won and humanity failed..

One more victim of the ‘opium’…
