Pro-Choice Is a Lie: Babies Never Choose to Die
Human Events Online ^ | 1/25/06 | Michael Lewis

Posted on 01/29/2006 1:35:15 PM PST by wagglebee

The 33rd annual March for Life was a smashing success. Apart from crazed feminists angrily waving coat hangers at Catholic priests and shouting, "Bigots go home," as thousands of students from across the country marched down Constitution Avenue, holding posters depicting sonogram images of pre-born humans, the event was perhaps the most moving event one has ever seen.

Monday’s demonstration, largely comprised of students of all races and religions, as well as men and women, old and young, clergy of all denominations, and children, testified to the fact that Eleanor Smeal, former president of the extremist group Feminist Majority, is now head of the Feminist Minority. Despite the fact that pro-lifers overwhelmed the few members of the Death Squad, every news outlet but Fox failed to feature the actual marchers as the news story.

The parade was led by roughly 200 women carrying signs that said "I regret my abortion," and "Abortion hurt me." As these women walked by the Death Squad that had assembled to support the disembowelment of babies, the crazed feminists screamed that the remorseful women that they "should really see a psychiatrist about that," and that it was "too bad, you made the choice." I can tell the crazed feminists comprising the Death Squad are God-fearing, compassionate people. Oh wait, that was Father Bob, the compassionate man who led my group from the Catholic University of America in the march.

Needless to say, the masses of young people that marched on Washington in support of women, life, and some radical notion called responsibility are probably giving Eleanor Smeal hot flashes. But then again, men don’t have them, so Eleanor, as a rule, doesn’t either. The nation has undeniably shifted to the pro-life side of the issue as medicine and science have advanced and improved. Any biologist will now testify that life begins at conception. Most physicians, with the exception of those who work for Planned Parenthood, will tell you that the heart begins beating three weeks after conception, which is before most people even know they are pregnant. But it doesn’t matter. To the feminist, pro-choice minority, only people who can speak and think are human. So, according to them, all of us are crying, babbling flesh blobs for the first 18 months of our postnatal lives. In any event, don’t go deer hunting; that’s inhumane.

And yet the feminist minority and the mainstream press will go to any length to continue to justify abortion. These are some of my favorites:

These excuses are arrogant attempts to define what kind of life is worth living.

I’m sorry, but I doubt people would choose to have a disability, and yet they don’t kick the bucket. Hillary enacts legislation to let Mommy and Daddy do that for them. In fact, when Sen. Rick Santorum presented the Senate with photos of the typical baby needlessly killed by partial-birth abortion, or in politically correct terms, a "late-term procedure," Sen. Hillary Clinton asked Santorum why the depicted baby didn’t have cleft palate, which is far from being an incurable problem. Unless people can be born into perfect situations, be beautiful, and go yachting on Martha’s Vineyard with Hillary and Uncle Bill, well then life isn’t worth it because they’re going die anyway of spina bifida. With that ridiculous logic, we all might as well hang ourselves this evening, seeing as we all die at some point.

The simple fact of the matter is that a life is a life. No matter what one’s circumstances are or will be, abortion is never okay. When the framers of the Constitution wrote that each of us is endowed with certain inalienable rights, which include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, there were no exceptions made for disabled children, poor children, or children whose mother didn’t have a college degree. The truth is, as Father Bob and my college buddies chanted at the March, pro-choice is a lie. Babies never choose to die.

Exept the Culture of Death is made up of eugenicists who place no value whatsoever on life.

First step is for a state to ban all abortions for any reason after the first trimester, except imminent physical harm to the mother. This would be my preferred vehicle to start pushing back against Roe v. Wade by having the SCOTUS uphold the Constitutionality of this state law.

How 'bout it Georgia? Can we pass a law making it illegal to have an abortion after the first trimester?

South Dakota is preparing to pass a law banning all abortions, hopefully it will be ruled unconstitutional in lower courts and then reach the Supreme Court.

I have always said the whole ideology of abortion-ism is based on lies upon lies.

Why not take a look at Georgia's HB-93?

Although I don't agree with your "after the first trimester" reasoning(I don't think that it is okay to kill someone during the first trimester) that is not what caught my eye about your post.

I have been begging anyone to answer this question: Under what medical circumstances would the unborn baby need to be killed (torn apart really) in order for the mother to avoid "imminent physical harm"?You see, even if the baby would need to be born so early that it would likely die (say the mother has cancer and she is only 18 weeks pregnant) the baby doesn't have to be murdered before being born in order for the mother to live.....and I can't think of a single case in which this would be necessary. Can you?

I don't know if there is a situation in which the baby would have to be sacrificed to save the mother's life, unless it were an either/or case with limited medical care available. If it was believed that carrying the baby to term would somehow kill the mother, then a decision to perform a C-section and attempt to save the baby should be the result.

So having a cleft palate is a death penalty offence according to Hillary Clinton. But I thought caring Democrats like her were against the death penalty? Oh silly me that's just if you are a murderer, if you are an unborn child she is all in favour of killing you if you have a cleft palate.

What an EVIL woman.

“Eto fore abortion; homosexuality; deprivation of soul life of life from His Majesty is grave sin. Infore eto these whom raise their hands on innocent will known His Majesty Justice. Infore they kill these children, yes children whom can’t talk, whom can’t walk, whom are innocent, inocordinuum they proclaim to have right?

How can a te (you)fore have precious and innocent be destroyed!!! They kill their little body, infore their souls lives, eto in Holy Holy of Holy Throne of His Majesty they cry out, eto fore vengeance will be giving with full justice of His Majesty.

His Majesty gave them life and infore they destroy this life of full knowledge. Infore eto many people can’t have children; eto want love; due; adopt and help these children whom are innocent.

Every child is innocent, it is something to cherish and love, infore His Majesty himself pointed to innocent of a child to be with HIM eto fore know His Holy kingdom. Many have misunderstood His Majesty love and blessing.

Eto fore humanity thinks they can outrun His Majesty of Majesty, infore He will outrun them.

Lucifer is exalting himself, infore His Majesty Love and Mercy will triumph, fore it already has on Holy Cross. Lucifer will be humbled and destroyed of essence of his dominion, infore “Love conquers all”. Eto fore pray, everything infore is written for you.”

There are already too many children in foster care. We need to fix the"system" first.

The only "choice" in "pro-choice" is the choice of a Jaguar, Lexus or Porsche for the doctor that performs the abortions.

You are correct. Abortion is about money more than anything else. Sickening that people can get rich off the death and destruction of a helpless unbor child. Does anyone remember when a baby used to be considered a blessing?

Feminists believe that men should be held financially responsible for a jointly conceived child, but concurrently, and hypocritically, deny men the right to save their jointly conceived child from death by abortion.
