REVIEW: ‘Bump+’ Dares to Take on Abortion ‘Reality’

[It's me]

Abortion is a sensitive topic no matter which side of the argument you support. And when I was asked to review the first episode of a web show called “Bump+,” I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to do it.

When it comes to abortion, I am in the pro-life camp. I wasn’t always – but having two children of my own changed my mind. And I’m thankful I was never in a position to have to even think about it. For me, exceptions to this rule are cases like the one in Brazil last year, where a 9-year-old girl who was carrying twins because her stepfather raped her. At that age and that size (she was only 80 pounds), doctors said her life would be endangered.

I’ve never understood the whole “it’s a difficult decision” thing. If you believe you’re carrying a human life, then how difficult is it to make a decision to have the baby? I mean, is it always so difficult for that same woman to refrain from murder? Of course it isn’t! And if you don’t believe you’re carrying a human life, what is so difficult about having an abortion?

What in the world is so difficult?

I don’t get it. A fake reality show, with actresses pretending to be excited to be chosen to be on the show, with audiences voting on pregnancy outcomes.

I agree with you. Funny how they always leave out adoption and never talk about the pain the baby will go through while being dismembered. Or the fact that it's emotionally and physically damaging to the women. Or the fact that when you destroy one life, you are destroying generations of people. That baby would more than likely grow up to have kids and his/her kids would have kids and so on.

My theory is, if you stop abortion, women would become more careful with there bodies.

Well, I think I am going to give them the benefit of doubt and wait and see.
