I recently had this conversation with a friend. A Catholic, who gave me the, “personally opposed” and “I would never have one” lines that are always followed by the “but I think women should have the choice and access to safe medical care if they choose an abortion.”

This conversation came about during a political discussion while sitting around at a rummage sale for the church, and was prompted by a letter from our bishop urging us not to vote to legalize pot.

Some of the ladies were offended that the bishop would try to tell us how to vote on an issue that should be a personal decision. I said that the same could be said about abortion.

So, the very nice lady said that legalizing abortion had saved the lives of thousands of women who would have had to go to a back alley doctor to get their abortion. I said that a woman seeking an abortion should have to go to such a place to get one and she was shocked.

I pointed out to her that Bernard Nathansan of NARAL founding, admitted to lying about the number of women who died from botched abortions. I then asked her how many babies had died from abortion since 1973. She wasn’t sure so I told her more than 60,000,000!

I then asked her if it was a fair exchange, a small number of women, versus millions of babies. She had to agree that in light of those numbers, legal abortion had claimed more lives than illegal abortions.

So, I thought I had her and was really working in the pro-life argument when she suddenly looks at me and says, “Well, the world probably couldn’t handle all those extra people anyway.”

You can’t fix stupid.

That's not stupid that's evil. Would she say the same about the holocaust?

Less than 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 60 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.8 million women. Or put another way; 34 babies are killed to save each woman.
