Do you then want to equate the aborting of every baby with the murder of every innocent human being by a savage terrorist? I'm not minimizing the misdeed of abortion, but can we keep things in proper perspective? Why not then send the US Military into every abortion clinic in the country with submachine guns? Abortion is wrong, it is not murder.
One more question: If it is either the mother or the fetus who can be saved, who do you save the mother or the fetus?
You are wrong. Abortion is murder.
The baby is innocent in the absolute. A killing in a war may or may not be just, but the casualty has lived and has accumulated some sin. To kill in an abortion is then a greater sin.
A mother had made a decision to get pregnant, or at least, to expose herself to a probability of pregnancy. With this comes the acceptance of risk associated with childbirth. The baby, to the contrary, had not assumed any risks. When (very rarely these days) a choice must be made, the surgeon may kill the baby only as an inintended and unavoidable side effect of protecting the life of the mother. In a wholly symmetrical case he should save the baby.
Because the Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom (spit) insists, against all rationality, that the slaughter of the unborn is a Sacred Constitutional Right. In a sane country, armed police would shut down abortuaries.
This country is deeply schizophrenic.
I'm one of those women who had to choose between risking my own life or aborting my "fetus".
I had been told all my life that I should never have children because it would kill me or if I was fortunate enough to survive that my child would either die or be born with severe birth defects. To say that my pregnancy was difficult is an understatement. I spent a large part of it in the hospital. I had seizures during my first trimester. During my second trimester, the doctors were afraid that I would be blind by the end of my pregnancy. And during the third, they were afraid that my kidneys were going to shut down.
But I went through with it. I wanted my child to live so much that I was willing to die for her. I was very lucky. I made it through the pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy daughter who is 14 years old now. My life without her wouldn't be worth living.
Once abortion is put back into it's proper place in the murder statutes, will you stop apologizing for abortionists?
Yes.
