what about china? what if we end up in the situation that we are allowed only one to two births? infanticide, as commonly used in this country, is common in china. so, is it ok to kill a fetus if enviornmental resources are diminishing? what then?
i would love to hear any thought and opinion in the matter. interesting to see what xtians have to say on the matter….

wow! good one! you gave a good sucker punch. people are far too judgemental. why should anyone care what happens to the woman that has had abortions? they should worry about their own condomnation should there really be an afterlife. i know that most of the people that protest in rallies against abortion are commiting sin at that moment. it is only up to god to judge not us petty little meat puppets.

I like your perspective. And how awful for your friend to have suffered that, at the hands of someone she’s supposed to be able to trust.

Abortion might be considered murder, but people wake up please. We murder cows, chickens, sheeps, dogs, cats on a daily basis. What makes humans any different? We are animals, and we could be used as food but no theres the whole ‘human rights act. What about the cow acts, or chicken acts?

Abortion prevents people from living on the streets, it prevents people from being mothers of unwanted children due to rape.

No woman should be forced to bare a child, and abortion is saving a live instead of ‘killing’ it.

Abortion used to be illegal in the United States. What did we use to do with women who received illegal abortions? I know at one time, it was not the women who were prosecuted at all, it was the doctors, but I don’t know what kinds of penalties they faced.

I know this is an old blog entry, and maybe nobody is following it anymore, but I thought VorJack’s comment here rung true, especially regarding the mob mentality. People just do horrible things when they get into a mob mentality. I’ve seen it many times. It’s like we lose ourselves in the collective madness. People are far too quick to assume a position about an issue and forget we’re all people and we all suffer. It’s a lot harder to villify someone when you’re face-to-face with the suffering of another human being.

This is a strong post. Thank you for producing such excellent content on this sensitive issue. As a Catholic libertarian, I share your anti-abortion inclinations but am unable to be on the side of anti-choice. You’ve gained yourself another reader.

@turgidmystery I don’t think many women are fully educated

Have you ever given your keyboard and mouth and protests a rest, gotten off your ass, done something compassionate and useful, and helped provide the sex education, the contraceptives, birth control and vasectomies (and did I say the education?) that would prevent the need for abortions? Didn't think so. Ulterior motives, huh?

@turgidmystery I’m all for locking up doctors who perform abortions.

You seem to be unquestionably for punishing people, and you are unquestionably punitive. You don't really care about "saving babies" or you would be doing the above things to prevent the need for the abortions you claim you don't want. You don't really want to help prevent abortions; you wouldn't have anyone to punish for being sexual without squeezing out a baby. This is your ulterior motive.

@turgidmystery And by the way, it always amazes me that people who are against the death penalty are often pro-choice.

It always amazes me that you can be so punitive toward people, and refuse to help them exercise their choices as adults by helping prevention; it takes hatred of women to be that way. And that you can then fool others and maybe yourself, and pretend to be pro-life.

@turgidmystery I’m sorry, but this was poor logic.

Your post certainly is.

Who says I am against willful prostitution? I’m not. I want it regulated, not outlawed. It’s those who call “immorality!” that want to outlaw it. I’ve no qualms against women who enter prostitution out of their own free will – I even know a few who did.

What I do have qualms against is a system where women are forced to procreate and then prostitute themselves to pay for the lives they were forced to carry.

Then again, you don’t care about lives once they exit the wombt. You’d rather protect a precious lump of non-sentient flesh rather than a living, breathing, thinking human being.

Kid, women don’t just decide “oh, I don’t want it anymore” when they’ve come thus far. They do it for a reason – probably because the fetus is so grossly malformed it won’t survive at all.

What you’re proposing with your melodramatic description (which doesn’t impress me at all) is that both woman and child deserve to die or live horrific lives forever because you want them to. No other reason.
