I didn’t find the “ethicists” arguments outrageous ... at least no more outrageous than the current law-of-the-land.

I disagree with the premise that abortion is ethical. But, given that premise, their logic is sound. I find no moral distinction between a gestating baby, and a born baby. If one can be terminated because it is unable to survive outside the womb, then I don’t see why the other can’t be terminated because it is unable to survive unassisted in the world. If no mother should be forced to birth an unwanted child ... why should one be forced to nurture and raise an unwanted child?

This is merely the logical end of the pro-abortion argument. The pro-life movement is better off with this argument out there. Make the pro-aborters defend it.

The Democrats are sliding further and further out on a limb--trying to defend infanticide, abortion, communism, prostitution, sexual perversion, sexual promiscuity, drugs, the destruction of the American economy, the destruction of the U.S.A., decadence, degeneracy, etc. etc. et al.!

They're in the pathetic position of their counterparts in the 19th century who were trying to defend slavery.

"lacks intrinsic value"

“cannot have formed any aim that she is prevented from accomplishing.”

They just described everyone on welfare.

God bless Chris Smith.Although not from his stae,I feel that he is one of THE Pro-Life Congressmen.I just sent him a check to counteract the actions of the pro-death party.

My response to this would be, “So then, you have no issues if parents abort their babies because it was determined that the baby was gay or lesbian? ...Remember, you told me last week that it wasn’t a choice, it’s genetic.”
