Gallup poll: More Americans are Pro-life than Pro-choice
Sweden Says Gender Based Abortions are Legal
Now that is a subject we should teach kids about. I bet the percentage pro-life would be much higher than 51% then.
Maryland Mom Murder Case May Test Fetal Homicide Law
Isn’t this crazy?
It all comes down to the total and complete lack of reason of the current abortion law. If it is legal to kill a “fetus” in a hospital, what is the difference in killing one at home? Even worse: the current law doesn’t really talk about killing. It is not a separate human, it’s just a “woman’s body”. How can you say a person can be arrested for doing something to her own body?
Now, when you see the little skeletons or the little body in a plastic bag the reality kicks in. Or at least it should.
Maybe one day we will have an abortion law based on reality.
‘Partial-birth’ abortion ban upheld.
For those who think this is just a corner case, read this:
“More than 1 million abortions are performed in the United States each year, according to recent statistics. Nearly 90 percent of those occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and are not affected by Wednesday’s ruling. The Guttmacher Institute says 2,200 dilation and extraction procedures – the medical term most often used by doctors – were performed in 2000, the latest figures available.”
And let’s not forget that this was a 5×4 vote. That means this would never be possible without Bush.
For those who think that babies are just “balls of cells” this is probably bad news. After all, some women will have to actually acknowledge the consequences of their acts. God knows, maybe they will have to go through the murderous process of giving up these babies for adoption instead of killing them.
For me, this means that thousands of lives were saved. I know people seem to be more interested in death, but to me this is great news.
This is from a Time article.
The thing that really pisses me off about the abortion discussion is how the pro choice people pretend it’s a different issue.
It is not a baby, it’s a fetus.
It is not killing, it’s “an interruption of possibility of life”.
And of course, the reasons for doing an abortion are always noble ones.
I just wish they had a poll where they asked the income of these women that say “can’t afford a baby”.
Some people believe that abortion is just a tool.
Not just a population control tool. They believe it is a solution for various social issues: child abuse, crime, low literacy, and so on.
Apart from the obvious fallacy of this argument (which is equivalent to propose the murder of all poor people to end poverty), it is interesting to think about why these issues are not all solved by abortion, even in countries like the US where abortion is openly legal and accepted. They may be attenuated (maybe by the simple matter of having less people available to commit these crimes) but by no measure they go away.
Not even filicide is solved by abortion!
Now, this woman, without any big bucks from the government or any help from “humanist” activists, is saving lives. 564 lives that were being literally thrown in trash cans.
What should we learn from this? That if we build more clinics these women will stop behaving this way? Are we saying that these babies are doomed and the only question is whether they die inside or outside their mother’s wombs?
Why do we have to invest billions in prisons and social programs to criminals and not invest the same in orphanages? Why do death row in mates have the benefit of years and years of bureaucracy and unborn babies are just killed on demand? Why not increase the death penalty to free up some space and resources to these unborn babies? What should be easier: to adopt a baby or to kill it?
Are my proposals a little too barbaric to you?
What kind of life are we really choosing to protect here as a society?
A life is a life
A life is a life. Whether you call her a baby or a lack of choice, it really doesn’t matter.
Amillia Sonja Taylor, born Oct. 24 after just under 22 weeks in the womb
She is not ready to go home yet. But she will get there.
22 weeks. That is 5 months and a half for those of you in Rio Linda.
But remember: She wasn’t really a live human being before the doctors moved her out of the womb. This is all a big misunderstanding.
UPDATE: She actually went home today.
A 22 year old woman named Tammy Skinner shot herself in the belly in order to kill her unborn child. She was scheduled to give birth on that same morning.
A Virginia judge has dismissed all charges, saying that the law did not make it a crime for a mother to cause her own abortion.
That means that in the eyes of the law, this woman has not killed anyone. Even though all science proves that the child was completely formed and alive, the law sees it otherwise. If someone had shot her, then it would be murder. But since she decided to murder her own child, nothing else matters. Just keep on moving folks, nothing to see here.

I am divided on the pro-life / pro-choice debate. I love children and my instincts all push me to be pro-life. However, after I became a father I became much more aware of how sensible and vulnerable children are. Is it death the worse thing that can happen to a child? How much suffering would these aborted children have to endure in the hands of these unprepared, selfish and stupid parents?
If I were king, abortions would only be permitted when the mother life is in danger, when the woman was raped, or when it has been proven the fetus has a terminal disease. I would also greatly simplify adoption laws, and invest and improve orphanage homes.
Roe vs. Wade was a huge mistake in every possible way. It was legally bogus and it has been turning more and more socially destructive every day. In typical liberal fashion, a problem was solved but a bigger one was created. By taking the issue out of the State legislature and covering it with this “free for all” legal blanket the judiciary has basically opened the doors to a complete disregard of children. Yes, a fully formed baby that is ready to be born is a child, not a fetus, no matter what the ACLU pin heads say. I held one in my arms, I know.
Something has to be done. This is barbaric beyond reason.
