Choosing Lives by Izamar Jimenez

Izamar's paper was written in response to this specific story regarding abortion: Choosing Lives


The life always is about making choices. For us as women, sometimes it is hard to decide between our life or the baby’s life we have inside our bellies.  It is hard because you get to a point where you start to love the baby that is growing inside of you.  But if I had to choose and the doctors made me decide between my life or the life of my babies I absolutely would choose the life of my baby because it is the decision of God, and mine because its my baby and it’s beautiful to give.

In my religion we believe that if someone dies it’s because God wants that person. God wants the person to become an angel. It is your destiny to die and also to help other people. In my opinion giving life to someone is the most important gift that God can give us.  In my Catholic religion we don’t believe that women have to abort because you have to love what you have inside.

Love makes you strong and able to make harder decisions in this life. People know that love is not easy so you always have to decide between love and other things. I know about this kind of situation because when my mom was pregnant she always had to stay into bed during the three pregnancies that she had. When my mom was pregnant with me, she had the same case as the story. The doctors told her that she needed to decide between her life or my life. My mom prefered my life because she loved me. Her love for me was stronger than any other thing. God didn’t decide to kill my mother or let me die. He decided to help us and now we are alive. Now she is the most important person to me and I love her a lot. She is my everything. That’s the reason that my mom took responsibility for me.
We know that if we have babies, it is our responsibility to take care of them because there is more to family than just us. For me as a woman, I want to take care of my family. But if I can’t, I want somebody else to be responsible for my babies. I know that is not going to be the same because if somebody doesn't have parents it is more difficult to have  happiness. But the gift of life is a gift of love.
In conclusion nobody can buy life. Life can require decisions even if you don't want something to happen.  You have to be happy. And always give a gift of life to somebody else. That is how life works.
