Yeah, that just happened. The above title is from a conversation I had today with one of the staff at the GYN clinic I'm stationed at for the next month. Taken out of context? How can you take that comment out of context?! But for completeness sakes, no its not out of context.
To their defense, this person, and the clinic as a whole, is openly pro-choice. I, or you, might disagree with this (or agree), but nonetheless I believe it important to respect the decision that has been come to.... however wrong. For on the flip-side, I want my beliefs to be respected, even if they are disagreed with. Please tell me though, when did having a kid become such an unbearable burden?! Truly they are a large responsibility, but what an awesome responsibility it is - your shaping the future! I can't help but being reminded of a movie I saw recently, Children of Men. If you haven't seen this movie, rent it. Regardless of your thoughts on the fiery subject of reproductive rights it paints a scary picture of a future where man has essentially extincted himself. Not that we are there or heading in that direction, but it makes you think that maybe we should be respecting human life just a little more than we do.
It is going to be an interesting month to say the least.
