Abortion is murder, but… [It's all about me!]

This article seems to consist entirely of the words, "I," "me," "my" and "myself."

Wow. I am continually amazed at just how evil this world we live in really is. I never seem to finish with becoming thoroughly dissolutioned.

[frogjerk]

I would not have been able to find out during my pregnancy that my child suffers from Down syndrome or a similar defect and continue the pregnancy as if nothing had happened.

I am tired of the way Down Syndrome children are looked upon as a blight and scourge. This is a selfish and evil way to think.

As a mother, had my daughter faced pregnancy at a very young age, I would strongly recommend that she terminate kill it rather than punish herself and the child throughout her life because of the mistake she made.

I thank God that this woman was not my mother.

Haven’t this woman ever heard of adoption?

Why must killing be the only choice?

I reject any arguments for abortion based on the “inconvenience” a child would cause its parents, or the world. The very same logic could be used to clear out the prisons, mental institutions, homeless shelters, retirement homes and AIDS hospices across the country. After all, why would we want to force people to continue an existence if they are unwanted? Isn’t it more humane to save them from a life of being deprived and unloved? And if you don’t let me “terminate” my Grandpa, then don’t be a hypocrite - You take care of him!

All these arguments sound horrific in the contexts I have mentioned, yet many, many people raise them seriously in the context of abortion. And, for good measure, this argument is usually advanced only a moment after the
“it’s only a clump of tissue” justification is tried. So this whole “spare the child (and society) the heartache” excuse actually undercusts the first, on top of everything else.

There are other arguments advanced for abortion - I don’t have the time and energy to go into them. But this type of justification should be seen for the grotesque and uncivilized rationale that it is.

I believe killing (fill in whatever group or designation) is murder. "And still... I must reject the religious hypocrisy and politically correct attitude of the religious social discourse, and declare that I am in favor of [allowing killing of this group or designation]. I support the right of (fill in perpetrator of murder here) to decide to end the [life of said group member because they are (fill in reason e.g. costly, drain on society, inconvenient, lack quality of life)]."

Its so interesting the lengths people will go to justify the unjustifiable.

[hinckley buzzard]

I accept the universal assumption that as of a certain moment, we are talking about a real person, and “aborting it” is a type of murder... And still declare that I am in favor of abortions. I support the right of a woman (or parents) to decide to end the pregnancy because she feels it is impossible for her to proceed with it.

And she calls this rejection of hypocrisy.

The whole article is an excellent illustration of the moral bankruptcy necessary to "support" abortion "rights." Everything that is wrong and evil about "choice" is summed up in this degenerate column.

You are absolutely right. I really think that as many people who see this who think that can make a rational comment to this irrational/evil author should do so at the site that it is posted. They may never make it public, but the people involved in posting this horrible stuff may well be influenced when they see it. I actually already did this.

Remember, when you want to influence someone in writing, whether it be the editor of a newpaper or a political official, concise is good. Try to think of one important point that can be made crystal clear in a short paragraph. And avoid, like the plague, anything that can be easily dismissed as name-calling or overtly emotional.

Proabortion women commonly will tell you that it "would just be too hard to give the baby away." So they kill her instead. The height of narcissism--for a mother to kill an innocent child, to avoid discomfort.

[TNPatriot]

"But even those saints must realize that for us, the simple evil people,
terminating a pregnancy killing your baby
is sometimes the only way to keep on living in total narcissistic bliss."

There, fixed the closing sentence.

[wastedyears]

Uh... have they heard of an adoption agency? The child they give up in that fashion could someday unknowingly save a parent’s life.

There is so much idiocy in this article that I can’t help thinking the person is possessed by the devil.

I guess that all women have the right to control their bodies, except when they are born as conjoined twins and must SHARE their existence with another person.

The woman’s body ends at the umbilical cord.

(A) The March of Dimes now strives to prevent birth defects by terminating the defective.

(B) Not all tests are accurate in their diagnosis.

(C) From where came the law that those with non-terminal birth defects were unsuitable for this world?

And even if we accept that argument, that would mean keeping any viable unborn children alive after any procedure - not letting them die, as Barak Obama apparently favors:

This is very troubling, and profoundly sad. Whole classes of the unborn are deemed "unfit," and destroyed. I'm speechless.
