...according to the very pro-abortion Alan Guttmacher Institute, 34 million abortions took place from 1973 to 1996. That's a million and a half per year. Who knows what genius men and women were whooshed away from our midst and with them what art, what music, what inventions, what cures.

The only solace--and it is slight--is the knowledge that the great majority of these were aborted by Leftist mothers, and hence the potential growth in numbers of the Left has been reduced.

Of course, that's still not enough to justify murder, but it's something.

Drive the pro-abortion crowd nuts by suggesting that there are psychological consequences to abortion.

I can hear the feminyst blood boiling already. They hate betrayal. They hate anyone to finally grow up and leave the sheltered sandbox of campus politics. They hate the fact that anyone would submit to a man, if only to have a child. And they know, and fear, that once any former feminyst has a "bookend" family, it will again become screamingly obvious that little girls ARE different from little boys.

They can't escape the inevitabilities of human behavior, so they cover their eyes and ears while screeching against it.

Did you ever dream we would call a politician a friend to women - no matter how flagrantly he exploited them - as long as he continued to back abortion on demand?

This sentence needed highlighting.

Very good perspective in today's National Frederica Mathewes-Grene : "I used to buy into Roe v. Wade...."

...and overhear a teen-age girl nonchalantly discussing with a friend the abortion she's having tomorrow.

From the moment I saw my daughter's heartbeat on the ultrasound until today when I play with a happy, vivacious toddler, I can't imagine how someone could rationalize abortion. Her tears, her laughter, her attempts to pronounce words are precious to me.

People capable of abortion must have cold, dead hearts incapable of loving or being loved. To hell with houses, cars, careers. I would give it all up and rearrange my life to accomodate a child.

Anyone who wouldn't is throwing away treasure to keep garbage.

DAY of SUPPORT....FLY your flags (US, a British one, Hungarian, Australian and Japanese one, too if you have them)....and put up your BUSH/CHENEY signs, (and the BIG W's on your SUV's) for the STATE of the UNION next Tuesday, Jan 28th, if you support the President, our MILITARY and the United States of America. PSST....pass it on.

Thanks for this post although it certainly is heartbreaking

"No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!"

An outstanding quote. Strange that the aborticide crowd never quotes their heroine on this topic, isn't it?

Pope Paul VI predicted this all in his brillant encyclial Humane Vitae in 1968. Read for yourself the prophetic masterpiece.

This article has me in tears. I too used to argue that abortion was about choice. I had a weird rationale for supporting Roe v. Wade, thinking that if the government could pass laws that forced me to carry a pregnancy to term against my will, then it could also pass laws that forced me to abort a pregnancy against my will. (Think China, I suppose.) I'm still not convinced otherwise as far as government laws are concerned, and I don't believe I would have ever considered an abortion if I had become pregnant before marriage or at any other inconvenient time. But....

God blessed me with two beautiful children, and the second one was born two months premature. I sat in the NICU holding her, looking into her eyes, and it occurred to me that there were people who, by supporting abortion on demand, believed that I had a right to kill her.

I've been staunchly pro-life ever since.

Susan B. Anthony, now featured on our currency, wasn't thinking of political correctness when she referred to abortion as "child murder." Nor when she wrote: "No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!"

I now have higher regard for SBA and her dollar. I wonder if Sacagawea had anything to say about it...

Thanks for the ping. D. James Kennedy re-aired some strongly pro-life Coral Ridge Hour programs these past Sundays, in recognition of today's 30th anniv. of Roe v. Wade.

Keep praying that the doors will be opened to shine the light on this continuing abomination.

[camle]

don't forget that feminist icon, Margaret Sanger, the eugenist who favored putting abortion clinics in the inner cities, to ease aborting of black fetuses.

"Samantha," I explained, ever the politically vigilant parent, "Mommy is pregnant. But since Jasmine's only 2 and I'm not married anymore, this just isn't a good time to have a baby. We're lucky women have a choice."

I wonder whether Samantha and Jasmine ever wonder what it would have been like to know their little brother or sister, who would be 24 today.

I wonder what he or she might have become.
