Once, many years ago, I wrote a letter to the editors of the New York Times discussing the comparison between abortion and slavery. The idea was not original with me, but I doubt whether the abortion pushers had ever considered it. I think the occasion was that it seemed odd that a prominent black politician had just come out in favor of abortion.
Basically, I made the point that what abortion and slavery have in common is that they both take a certain group of human beings and pretend, against the evidence, that they are less than human. All human lives are precious, but for some reason some humans are regarded by some people as not fully human, so it’s OK to enslave or kill them if it’s convenient. I don’t remember if I pointed out that that was also one of Hitler’s arguments, used to justify medical experimentation and the Holocaust.
I pointed out that biological science, and not just religious belief, demonstrates that a baby in the womb is both alive and human.
A few days later I got a phone call from an angry woman who said she worked in the editorial department of the Times, and was checking to be sure that I wrote the letter and that it was signed with my real name. I said yes. And the letter was published. Why, I don’t know. I guess they still had a grain of honesty about their profession back then, and published at least a few opposing viewpoints once in a while.
Anyway, I hoped what I said might make at least a few of their liberal readers think twice about what abortion really amounts to. It treats certain human beings as less than human.
Selfish, self-serving.
...these folks not only 'were calling for abortions without apology'...but yelling "Hail Satan" at this pro-abortion rally....
The last thing these Womyn need to worry about is an unwanted pregnancy.

I make ‘no distinctions’ between those tattoed woman and the Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton elites, and any in between who call for the murder of the unborn children. They are all on the same level if they support abortion.
What is really bad about that protest is some of them demanding “free” abortions are men. The rest look like men. Some I’m just not sure.
1 Peter 4
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other peoples matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.[e]
Thinking Secular i could find plenty to say, but the people who are involved in covering up their irresponsibility in this sort of thing will be in torment their whole life if they have a conscience and i do believe most people has one.
I heard someone say that the person whom God had created, destined, and anointed to be elected President in 2012 had instead been aborted in 1970.
Yes, they were, but if these were the reason abortion is required (it's not "legal", the Court can't pass laws) it would still be forbidden.
Abortion is absolutely required by sins of which I, and many others have been guilty - lust (especially), fornication, greed, envy (to a degree), failing to honor my father and my mother, among others.
Identifying "abortion supporters" with these costumed performance artists will never get at the roots, and pulling it up by the roots is now the only way out.
It is not a political problem, it's a sin problem, and conversion is the answer.
Of course, evangelizing the lost is hard work, and a gigantic PITA besides, so political activism can be appealing.
abortion is ‘a political issue’ for Politicians to use.....not of life. Those who support abortion simply want an excuse for disposing of the evidence which sexual relations can, and often does bring ...a baby.
The mother chooses what to do with her body long before there is a baby...and where the choice is made... to have sexual relationships. Abortion is basically woman wanting the right to dispose of the evidence of their choices.
You can say that abortion is based on sin....but certainly those supporting abortion don’t see it as that. They want to make their own laws.....and do.
I definitely believe that many problems and issues society has faced and NOT resolved are because those whom God had determined would bring the solutions were aborted.
She was probably hoping that publishing the letter with your real name would cause trouble for you.
