(This is my ongoing series presenting pieces that I am formulating into my own constitution for any future country [including LL]. The wording is not set and is open to changes/additions/subtractions. Posting about it is just to stimulate debate, as should any good creator of a constitution.)
I don’t have any writing about abortion to insert here. I thought I would just use this thread to put out my current thinking on abortion and then open it up for the thinking of others.
My current thinking after researching countless near-death-experiences, out-of-body-experiences, and practitioners of astral traveling, is that life is probably more complex than being birthed as a human out of nowhere and upon dying, experiencing infinite blackness forever. Most probably, I think the general experience here on Earth as a human is that of reincarnation. And so an (most likely) eternal soul enters the human body at some point, probably as a fetus, and then on death the soul leaves the body.
There is much debate, within the groups that discuss such things, on whether this reincarnation is chosen by the soul or is “forced” into reincarnation by some outside entity. Personally, I think it is most likely that we are “forced” in a way, but you are forced to reincarnate by your higher self or “oversoul”. Though, since it is your own higher self doing this, can it be considered to be “forced”?
For the readers that are Christians, I will point out that Jesus, the “son” of God, is much more similar to a fractal fragment of God (as in: the smaller fragment retains properties of the whole), than an actual son. And this fits my overall concept of a human and his oversoul. Also, Jesus was reincarnated back into life after he was killed on the cross, though they don’t call it reincarnation, but resurrection.
This resurrection scenario has repeated in thousands of near-death-experiences where a person’s heart will stop beating for an hour or more (according to the medical system, this is death) and then they revive suddenly back into life. And in the period where they were supposed to be “dead”, they remember everything that happened around them, including conversations had by those speaking about their death and sometimes this happens even hundreds of feet away from their dead body, implying that the soul has its own mechanisms of seeing, hearing, and remembering.
I say all this as preface to my opinion on abortion, because I believe that the body without the soul is just a shell. A real human has to have a soul in the driver seat of the body. And so, the question becomes: when does the soul enter the human body shell?
I don’t have an answer for this at present. I would guess that the soul enters at some point while the fetus is in the womb. So my thinking on abortion is that after a soul has entered the fetus, it now has a human future, and so to abort it is a crime against that future life. But theoretically, if we as a country (or world) come to an understanding that the soul enters the fetus in the fourth month of pregnancy, I can’t see being against abortion done before this. But of course, if we come to the understanding that the soul enters on conception, then even birth control pills might be considered a crime against that soul’s future human life.
