the issue of abortion

the issue of abortion that is played out in our society DRIVES ME CRAZY!
How can a white man stand in front of the nation and state and declare that a woman is committing murder and how life starts at the moment of conception and how bad the woman is for committing such a horrendous crime on humanity. WHEN that same white man stuck his dick in our vagina when we didn't want him to and impregnated us. And then blames women. It is our fault we got pregnant. We are raped ever second of the day just as the earth is raped. But it is our fault? We are to blame.
ANYONE in their right mind would think this is insane.
But it happens, every day people judge, women judge others who are pregnant with unwanted babies.
I just found this amazing book at goodwill for $3.99 and Christiane Northrup sums it up perfectly:
"Abortions deliberately ends one potential life. But not allowing an abortion potentially murders two lives. The bond between mother and child is the most intimate bond in human experience. In this most primary of human relationships, love, welcome, and receptivity should be present in abundance. Forcing a woman to bear and raise a child against her will is therefore an act of violence. It constricts and degrades the mother-child bond and sows the seeds of hatred rather than love. Can there be any worse entry into the universe than forcing a child to inhabit a body that is hostile to it? Life is too valuable to inhibit its full blossoming and potential by forcing a woman to bear it against her will. Since we know that the early lives of criminals and societal offenders are often filled with poverty and despair  it may even be dangerous to bring a being into the world who isn't wanted. The specter of more and more women trapped in unwanted pregnancies looms on the horizon as women's reproductive capacity is treated as a political barter." Christiane Northrup, MD Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom.

I just finished this book called Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. Our church recommend it. It is about unveiling the mystery of a woman's soul. I was instantly interested in reading it. I really enjoyed it. I normally don't read religious books but I found a lot of truth in it. In this passage I can see how the darkness, Satan, has played with us, used us and blackmailed us into thinking and believing how bad  women are. This book really enhanced and encourages women to remember who we really are. Regain our power and stand up against the enemy.
"Satan fell because of his beauty. Now his heart for revenge is to assault beauty. He destroys it in the natural world wherever he can. Strip mines, oil spills, fires, Chernobyl. He wreaks destruction on the glory of God in the earth like a psychopath committed to destroying great works of art.
But most especially, he hates Eve.
Because she is captivating, uniquely glorious, and he cannot be. She is the incarnation of the Beauty of God. More than anything else in all creation, she embodies the glory of God. She allures the world of God. He hates it with a jealousy we can only imagine.
And there is more. The Evil One also hates Eve because she gives life. Woman give birth, not men. Women nourish life. And they also bring life into the world soulfully, relationally, spiritually-in everything they touch. Satan was a murderer from the beginning (John 8:44). He brings death. His is a kingdom of death. Ritual sacrifices, genocide, the Holocaust, abortions-those are his ideas. And thus Eve is his greatest human threat, for she brings life. She is a lifesaver and life giver. Eve means "life" or "life producer." 
Woman have been giving themselves abortions since the dawn of time. It is part of nature. We have forgotten how to be an active participant in our reproduction. Women are constantly assaulted by our media, society, religions, government, etc to be shameful, to feel bad about ourselves, that there is something wrong with us, that we are not good enough. This is just another way to shame us.
