Pro-choice writer Molly Coddle:
“Abortion is killing, but not murder. Americans would like to think that death is avoidable, and for that reason liberals have tried to sugarcoat a women’s right to choose with an “it’s-not-about-the-fetus” argument that disregards the emotional intensity that everyone I know has experienced when choosing to abort. When we recognize that something is dying—if only a possibility of life—then it’s possible to grieve and move forward.”

Eventually, this definition will be enlarged to define the liquidation of the political enemies of the uniparty.
yep. in a very pure technical sense the author is legally correct.
However, that which is legal does not make it right, and in this case, moral or ethical.
I will always choose to do that which is moral and ethical over doing that which is simply legal. IMO
The possibility of life abruptly ends with an abortion, and the life cut short has no choice in the matter.
I’ve worked with many women who are proclaiming “pro-choice and have had abortions.” In virtually every instance, when the memory of the event is opened the wound is evident and the intense emotions flow. Our pure souls when we are born know the difference between right and wrong, not matter what we justify and proclaim intellectually.
Thank you for your posts on the pro-aborts. You’ve been on a roll lately. Has there always been this much stuff to post, or have they been more vocal lately?
There has been this much stuff and I’ve been more vocal.
The author tries to use the “Have pity on me as an orphan and disregard that I have killed my parents” defense.
“Please have compassion for me as my child has died, it doesn’t matter that my actions killed her.”
Anyone see a problem with this logic?
“Please have compassion for me as my child has died, it doesn’t matter that my premeditated actions actions killed her.”
Was the fetus viable? If it was then you are taking a life. Not all that complicated.
Prochoicer: granting rights to fetus is “an utter perversion of individual rights”
“Banning any type of abortion to “protect the fetus” necessarily grants rights to the fetus–an utter perversion of individual rights. If a woman has no right to her own body, then by what logic does a fetus (which, by definition, is a biological parasite) have a right to the woman’s body? Properly, an infant’s rights begin after the fetus is removed from the mother’s body and its umbilical cord cut.
…. Once “fetal rights” are granted to one stage of the pregnancy, nothing will prevent their extension to all stages. “Fetal rights” are a gimmick to destroy a woman’s individual rights.”
Abortion takes an innocent life without due process of law. How does this differ from murder?
If a woman has no soul, then how can she have rights?
If a fetus has a soul, then how can it not have rights?
And isn't collectivism the proclamation that everyone is a parasite? So if the womyn is already a parasite, isn't abortion a decision that should be left to the collective? What possible relevancy could her opinion have over her body? Its not like it belongs to her - both she and the fetus are the property of the state.
The truth is the truth even if everybody denies it and wrong is wrong even if everybody proclaims it truth.....is the paraphrase I believe of chesterton...forgive me gk for getting it off a bit, and pray for me as I pray for your cannonization!
Did the Nazis think they were murderers for killing Jews? I think not. But maybe they did.
Anyway, you get the point, Sarah. Put a little more thought into this. Deal?
Sarah? Don’t you mean Molly Coddle? She is the one who said it.
We agree— However I define Murder as premeditated killing. with the intent of denying life.
in the absence of State sanction —i.e. WAR. i.e. as a matter of defense—protection of property.Thus Biblical Law
is preserved.If two men strive together and a woman with child is caused to give birth prematurely and harm follows
the judgement is Lex Talliones Life for life, arm for arm eye for eye etc. as determined by a legal court. Abortion cannot be excused for HArry’s abortion/Roe v.Wade refused to
consider the God given life in the womb and how abortion nullifies the fundamental law reflected in our Declaration of Independence.
Not only is it murder, it is premeditated murder of an innocent human being. It should be a capital offense.
