Abortion
And Fertility Treatment Controversies
There is a lot of
controversy out there in the world about issues of “babies”, of abortion, pro
and against, and of fertility manipulations, for and against. It strikes me that we may not be appreciating
the power and beauty and perfection of Life, and I would like to speak in this
essay about “Life” as regards abortion and fertility treatments.
It is an amazing medical and
biological “feat” that we can go into a woman and terminate a human “Life” in
abortion, and also an amazing medical and biological feat that we can go into a
woman and implant a fertilized human “Life” from another man or woman, or
both. Wow. It gives us human beings the idea and feeling
of omnipotence, by having the ability to manipulate “Life”. It also gives us
the feeling that “just because you can, doesn’t mean that you “should”. This conflict IS the controversy.
The controversy is not
whether there is some inherent morality in humanity, ideas like the Creation God
or evolution, and then people that disobey it, because ideas of God religion
and evolution are also human belief systems and controversies. The controversy
is that there are simply Do-ers and Don’t-ers and Yes-ers and No-ers. I would like to suggest that all believers in
God or evolution , or all believers in nothing, or like me, believers in the
inherent truth of the human heart, are all simply arrogant humans that errantly
pretend to believe that we know more than “Life”, or that we can manipulate
“Life”.
I would
like to remind us all that we are inconsequential and momentary specks of
nothing worth noting on the scale of the universe and Life. We are a simple “blip” on God or evolution’s
radar, and hardly worth noting or mentioning. In terms of longevity, the
dinosaurs are God and evolution’s favorite creatures, and the real manipulators
of Life. In terms of advancement, we are merely newly born infants on the scale
of universal consciousness, and this will become painfully clear if and when
the real aliens land here on Earth for their own reasons. The real aliens are God’s and evolution’s
favored creatures and the real manipulators of Life in terms of advancement.
We humans are and can be so
human- centric, so human-absorbed and human self-ish and human self-centered in
our view towards ourselves and Life. No
wonder we invented God in our own image to be human based, and not dinosaur or
alien based, and no wonder we feel that we are evolution’s crowning achievement. I mean to sound humble and arrogant at the
same time, because in terms of any real God, or real evolution on the scale of
the universe, we are merely one celled “centric” bacteria just beginning our
ascent towards true perfection and the possibilities of Life.
Now that we humans are back
in our not so omnipotent and not so great or clever place where we belong, let
us not forget that we are mere infant products of Life itself, and though we
are impressive creatures no doubt, we are also the pinnacle of folly and
daftness and just plain sheer luck here on this beautiful and terrifying
planet. We are Life’s recipients, and
Life’s benefactors, and seemingly the lucky controllers and manipulators for
the moment. Life, and dinosaurs, and
aliens, are of course smirking at us, for they know infinitely better.
Speaking of infinity, let us
please trust Life, and trust the dinosaurs, and trust the aliens, and trust
ourselves, that we don’t know, as they say, “diddly squat”. Only Life knows, and Life has conveniently
facilitated the existence and activity of both Do-ers and Don’t-ers, and of
both Yes-ers and No-ers, for Life loves controversy. Life trusts us all to
matter, and Life also trusts us to be stupid or smart enough to nuke ourselves
into meaningless oblivion with one simple touch of the red buttons. Life trusts
in “all” of us, and in all of our affects and defects in Life, including and
especially regarding issues of Life, and abortion, and fertility manipulations.
How exactly is Life
maintaining the ultimate “trump” card over us at all times? We are in fact Life, we are in fact God, each
and every one of us, and each and every murderous microbe, and we are in fact
evolution, each and every one of us saints, and each and every one of us serial
killers. We are manifestations of “IT” and we “ARE”, and WOW to us who are the
masters of our known universe, and also beware of our powerlessness to Nature
and Life. We are the ultimate irony, and we are the ultimate results of Life’s
best attempt at perfection, and of utter disaster. We are the ability to
procreate naturally, and we are the ability to terminate our “creation”, and we
are the ability to “create” our own creation.
Or so we like to pretend, and so we like to hope, and so we like to
believe.
In truth, Life is driving,
and Life is ultimately giving us permission to BE, to manipulate being, and to
terminate being. The truth is that we
are the comedy and the drama and the tragedy, and Life is the playwright, no
matter what we do. The truth is that the spirit and soul of Life is omniscient
and omnipotent, and Life always knows what it is doing. Is the fall of the baby
bird into the mouth of the cat a tragedy? In fact it is a gift to the cat and
her kittens. Is the conception of a
human child a miracle and gift to Life? Is the abortion of this child a
tragedy? In fact the spirit of the aborted child knew of its sacrifice and gift
before it inhabited the sperm-egg miracle, and before it died, and Life is in
support of Life or death, despite our wish to honor the unwanted child, or our
wish to terminate it. Is the manipulated
IVF conception a miracle and gift of Love to the couple and Life, or is it a
violation of nature? If Life comes of
this process, then the spirit of the child knew of this before it inhabited the
sperm-egg miracle, and Life IS and will Be, no matter what we do or don’t do,
or whether we should or shouldn’t. Life is not foolish, Life is not ignorant,
and Life is not arrogant.
We need to trust ourselves,
and we need to trust Life. We can conceive
babies and terminate babies because we can, and we shouldn’t do these things
just because we can, and both are true and valid. All of the do-ing and
don’t-ing and yes-ing and no-ing is known and accepted by Life, long before and
long after we act, for we are a manifestation of the Nature of Life, and the
Nurture of Life, and the Destiny of Life, and the Free Will of Life, and we can
trust ourselves, and we can trust Life.
The human heart contains all
Life, the human heart is omniscient and omnipotent, and there is never a time
when we are more perfect and omniscient and omnipotent as when our perfect halves
intersect, as when sperm is accepted in Love into egg. At this moment the beautiful and comedic and
dramatic and tragic creature knows fully and exactly of its life in the arms of
a teenage mother, and of its death in an abortion vacuum, or of its cradling in
the arms of infertile couples after its egg-sperm miracle in a petrie dish, or if its Ghandi-ism or Hitler-ism, and we can
trust this “child” of Life.
We ourselves ARE the trust
of Life, and we are here beyond all odds, and we are alive to wield our
responsibility of Fate, or Free Will, and we are here to follow the vestiges of
our own omniscient and omnipotent hearts.
It is our responsibility to LIVE as best we can, and if we are a Do-er
or Yes-er, we appreciate the efforts and opinions of you Don’t-ers and No-ers,
but we must be our own god and evolution and we must trust Life and be trusted
by Life in our own way. If we are
Don’t-ers and No-ers, we must evangelize the world with the Love that we feel
to protect Life and reject all artificial Life conception, for we also trust
Life and are trusted by Life. And when
we have all done our best to follow our own hearts, we must also mind our own
bees wax, for we are not THE bee or the representative of THE bee at all, but
just another worker in the hive of Life, no less or more than anyone else.
Love will find its own way,
in live or terminated fetuses, or in live IVF babies, or IVF babies that never
survive for infertile couples. Our
children are this Love, and they know of their fate when they accept their task
as our children, dead or alive, at the egg and sperm level. We can trust our
children, for they know of our joys and sorrows and our Nature and our Nurture
and our Destinies and our Free Will. They are Love, and we are Love, and Love
encompasses all, including both sides of all controversies, all the time.
See you tomorrow.
