Uncritical thinkers on the Left like to mischaracterize objection to abortion on demand as a purely religious thing.

Why wouldn’t an atheist be just as horrified and appalled at Planned Parenthood’s baby parts-selling as anyone else? Why would a Hindu be any less shocked at an environment of filthy clinics where terrible crimes are performed than a Christian? Most of the really militant, visible pro-abortion folks are upwardly-mobile or wealthy white women who supposedly don’t need abortion - it’s the poor and ethnic minorities who need it. (Supposedly.) When you get out there and demonstrate and throw poop at supreme court justices, etc., you’re supposedly helping the poor and ignorant.

Except that’s not really it: It’s guilty consciences all the way around for these dames. They use their power and influence to change the minds of youth and the poor and disabled - if they can make everyone think that it’s not just okay to get an abortion, but some sort of social ritual that almost everybody has to go through - like wearing braces - then they can sleep without guilt. So they think.

That's because pro-lifers (who, like myself, are most often religious) let them get away with it. When someone gives me that line, I let them know in no uncertain terms that I would be pro-life even if I were an atheist. I point to the science that human life begins at conception and after that the deliberate killing of such human life is the murder of an innocent child. And I don't let it go until they either have to acknowledge my argument (or they burst out crying or in anger or walk off-- whichever comes first).

Pro-lifers need to be ready with well thought-out scientific and rational arguments in favor of life. Throwing Scripture verses at them does no good because they'll either twist it or ignore it. Make them listen to the empirical facts that they can't refute.

Your logic is one of the reasons that social media censors pro-lifers.....Can’t have people,especially minority and poor people getting the truth....
