Right To Life

by Sgt. Kevin Benderman
by Sgt. Kevin Benderman

I have come to the conclusion that the Creator does not want us to fight wars or to leave our brothers to die in hunger or disease for we have been given the things we need to provide all men on the planet what he needs to get by in the world. I have been lead to question some things about myself that I could change to better myself as a man.

Why should I not help another human being that needs what I can help them with? I have ignored that for far too long. I have turned my head when the homeless person asks for a little help. I have taken advantage of others when I should have been offering a hand up. I have done things in my life that I am not proud of. I have not lived a perfect life so I do not claim to have the authority to tell anyone else how to live his or hers.

Some people are asking me why is it now that I have come to this conclusion that I can no longer take part in an organization whose primary purpose is to kill. People are asking how I can spend ten years in the military and now want to get out or how I can abandon the people that I have served with. I have to tell them that I have seen the wrong way that I had been living and that I need to make some changes. Changes that will hopefully let me live a better life and that will allow me to be a better part of the human society.

I have learned that I have done things that are not to the benefit to mankind and that to continue in that vein would be detrimental to my growth as a human being. And now that I have seen the errors of my ways, wouldn’t it be prudent to change the way I conduct myself? Why should I continue with what I see as self-destructive behavior? And why should I continue a way of life that does nothing to alleviate some problems that have plagued humanity far too long? If a drug addict learns that the drugs are killing him then he is expected to stop using drugs. That leads me to ask the question, "If what I am doing is killing me spiritually, why should I continue?

Some people claim that war brings peace; if that is the case then why do we not have peace in the world? There have been wars as long as I have been alive and yet we still have no true peace in the world. We are taught in school that we have had the American Revolution and the two world wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Grenada, Beirut, Persian Gulf War, and now the Operation Iraqi Freedom, and my point is, "When will it be enough?"

Do we want our grandkids to learn the "art" of war? Should we teach them to throw hand grenades and learn how to shoot center mass of a human being in order to kill them? Or should we be teaching them to hit home runs and to catch fly balls? We should teach them to throw the winning pass at the super bowl, anything but how to kill other humans. There are many things that should be shown to our young besides the "honor" of killing.

War should be left behind us in the memories of history. The people of the world should practice it no more. Better results in peace could be realized if we were to reach out to our fellow man with an understanding instead of aligning them in our rifle sights. I know that this is a concept that will take time for people to understand, but isn’t it time to start trying?

We have recently observed the day that honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and shouldn’t we remember his words and try to live them? "I have a dream that one day that all the children of the world can live together" That may not be the exact quote but I believe that is the essence of what he wanted to see in our world. When will we try to attain that goal?

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.' I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today."

Why can’t we take that view for peace in our country and expand it to the nations of the world? It made sense then and it makes sense now. ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.

And if is the case that all men are equal, why I am facing the possibility of seven years in Federal Prison because I do not want to kill another human being?

Birth Mom Missions Prayers work! The latest she said to me: "My mom is still in the hospital and they haven't been able to find out what caused her pain and the high blood pressure. That's good news and now she isn't in pain so I'm thinking prayers were the answer!!! "

Thank U for praying for Ann everyone. Isn't it ironic that the same thing happened to my Ann after prayers. They couldn't find anything wrong anymore! -BB
If a birth mother is in need of prayer, we are (or can) be the best resource ever! We are here when no one else is sometimes!  I might need you guys someday too! Put yourself in warrior mode and send some serious prayers down south to Texas....... for A...See More

    • Ilene Hutcheson I read the whole thing. I hope she is blocked. She has alot of underlying anger built up. I think she needs the name of a good counselor.

    • Tracy Koop I can't believe some of the comments especially by Hanne. Our adoption is open and I love our bmom. She is and always willne a part of our family. We always think of our child first and foremost ......what's best for her. Some of the comments were sooo negative. Adoption can be beautiful I wish everyone knew that!!

      I briefly read the thread. Two things that I didnt like-1. Many times it was mentioned that birthmom moms are poor. I didnt give up my birthson because I was poor. I was already a mom of three when I was raped. I chose adoption because mone...y aside I knew that my birthson deserved better and raising another child would have also had an impact on my other three kids. 2. I actually have no problem being called a birthmom. I gave birth to my birthson so yeah biologically I am his mom, but I am not the one that takes care of him every day, so I am not his mom. I havent had the best adoption, but I am still very happy that I chose adoption for my son. I have hard days sometimes, but I have never regretted it.See More

      I didn't realize this was a pro adoption site, please remove me, there are so many children who need parents, if a newborn is what you seek then its not children you love. There is so much damage done, even in the first few hours seperated... from mom, that lasts a lifetime. There is too much help for girls not to give up their children now, i cannot tell you that this child is not just a child, you will have grandchildren, and you will cause them to wonder why you didn't want them, i want no part in anything that is pro-adoptive, unless you are going to a 3rd world country such as ethopia where 80% of the population has no parent, i am against adoption, and always will be, educate yourself.See More

      I really just don't understand why people choose to engage with each other like this. It's obvious that no one is going to change the others person's stance so why continue? It seems futile and actually kind of childish. we went through ...this last year at the same time and will continue to do so each and every year. This "debate" is old and there will never be an end in sight. Some people Just don't have the ability to take a step outside of themselves and ATTEMPT to see things from someone else's perspective.See More
