our so-called civilised world...

Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
Would you've been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tomboy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
I paid for the murder before they determined the sex
Choosing our life over your life meant your death
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your life?
These lines came from one of my current favourite songs. The song's title is Happy Birthday from Flipsyde. And it's pretty obvious that's this fellla's talking about the pain of having to abort his unborn baby. Even though we live in a"civilised", modern world, where we have to be open-minded, the fact that abortion is happening everywhere is pretty hard to comprehend. People who go for abortions kill their unborn babies, but who are they to decide that the baby does not deserve a chance to live? To me, abortion is only an option when the mother will die if they keep the baby. I mean, if the mother has cancer, it would be a risk to both mother and baby if she continues with the pregnancy, right? Even then, termination is only used as a last resort.
However, most of the time, people who go for abortions are not mothers with cancers. Usually they're teenage girls who had sex with their boyfriends and ended up pregnant by accident and they have to abort the baby if they dont want to get into trouble with their parents. I mean, hello? They should know sex is mainly for creating babies (unless they've been living in some tempurung somewhere), other than pleasuring themselves, so if they're not protected while having sex, they should know that the risk of getting pregnant is high, right? I heard stories from my friends on how their friends had gone for abortions and it's really freaky knowing that these people can do that to their own flesh and blood. My cousin told me that one of her "acquintance" had aborted twice! Won't that like affect your chances of having a baby? And anyhow, in this "civilised" world that we live in, don't u think abortion is a bit barbaric?
I remembered reading somewhere in Reader's Digest that 36% of Filipino couples DO NOT KNOW that sex produces babies....hmmm...weird but true...i wonder where they think babies come from then....;]
oh yeah, i went to KLCC for the CLEO's 50 Eligible Bachelors preview and it was so fun! I realised that it's so wrong to judge a book by it's cover (or in this case, judge a guy by his picture)! The ones that my sis n i thought were hot looked damn weird, and most of the guys that were not so cute in the pics looked kinda hot. anis also thought she saw two of the guys staring at us! hehe! If only that was true! doesn't hurt to dream, though, does it? ;)
