Minority women (Black women in particular) are crazed zealots for abortion up to birth.

Margaret Sanger would be ecstatic of what’s she’s accomplished with Planned Parenthood. In her wildest dreams she never could have hoped that black women would voluntarily have 3,4,5 abortions each and be proud of it. “Shout your abortion” is the battle cry of these harridans.

The want to hook up with as many one-night-stands and have no repercussions of pregnancy. Kill, Kill, Kill babies is what the Rat party stands for. They promote a depraved society, and when that society collapses they will get their reward. /spit

“Reason Pro Life is not winning is simple the average person are lost sinners, corrupt and without Christ.”

Do muslims abort? Abortion is considered unlawful and a major sin (HARAM) in Islam regardless of the stage of pregnancy.
But is still acceptabke by many. I find that astounding, considering the lockstep portrayal of that group.

A stopgap measure would be to abolish the 19th. But nobody’s going there. Maybe humans are pathological by nature. We certainly are not totally monogamous.

I have to let the Living God sort this one out. I have strong non-pathological feelings on this matter. But it seems that the pathological are at the helm aboard the ship to damnation.

Sadly so many refuse to see and hear with spiritual eyes and ears. God has turned them over to reprobate minds. 🙏🙏

The governing epigram here is “politics is the art of the possible.” Abortion is fundamentally a political problem despite the sincerity of those who see it as a moral issue— which includes me, btw. In a political battle between idealism and pragmatism, idealism is easy to defeat. Pro-abortionists simply focus on the pragmatic and ignore the immorality of their position.

Of course truth is also an ideal which the Left routinely ignores. A simple euphemism— “reproductive health” — overrides a volume of moral suasion. And in an ecology where faith is rapidly being drained from the public square, that’s all it takes. Pro-abortionists are evil but they are not stupid; they easily see
through pro-life efforts to finesse a total ban, eg articles like this one which telegraphs the goal in case anyone missed it, and have no problem devising rhetorical tactics to disable it.

One domain illustrates the core issue— the debate over ”hard cases.” There was a time when it worked rather well to oppose abortion while allowing for the cases of “rape, incest and life of the mother.” If we had adopted this kind of compromise post-Roe, instead of moralistically demanding a total ban, life might be different today. By opposing these exceptions on grounds of moral absolutism, we are easily painted as uncaring, fascist woman-hating extremists. The pro-abortion counter argument practically writes itself.

Some would say such a position is an unacceptable moral compromise, and simply opens life up to a slippery slope— and yes it would require constant vigilance to prevent that. But what we are facing now is the threat of being
pushed off a cliff, from which there may be no pathway back.

There is only one reason.

Across the nation, Pro Life does not have the raw political power to make and enforce anti abortion law

It is a good article overall. The 14th amendment argument falls a bit short due to the wording (born) in that amendment.

The best point made is in the third argument. The absolute lack of logic of allowing abortion exceptions in the case of a crime (rape/incest) or potential birth defects is ridiculous.

The unborn child is the ultimate innocent life. How can we condemn an innocent to death because of a crime committed by a parent? Killing a baby does not erase the rape or change the trauma the mother went through.

Likewise with the predicted birth defects. If someone suggested euthanizing all mentally or physically disabled people, everyone would be up in arms about that. Abortion for the reasons is no different.

There is no logical or moral reason to allow abortion in either of these cases.

Pro-lifers come across (portrayed as such by MSM?) as absolutists, just like the Aholes who want to abort/murder the day before normal birth.

People don’t like absolutists. They come across as purists and “better than thou”.

Pro-lifers MUST come out with a compromise, or else Biden/Newsome will be installed into the WHouse and abortion-’til-birth will become the national law.

Allow it for any reason up to 90 days. After that, ONLY if the Mom’s life is in physical danger.

"Abortion is a binary proposition. One is aborted or unaborted; a baby is never “a little” aborted. Human life begins at fertilization, or it doesn’t. Abortion is the intentional killing of an innocent human being, or it isn’t. Abortion is a crime, or it isn’t. There is no middle path, no third way; there are no exceptions. One is pro-life or pro-death. There is no such thing as pro-choice; it’s just a euphemism with some marketing gloss, albeit a powerful one."

Pretty much sums up the argument. The opposition doesn't care about 'life of the mother' or whether viable at an 'x number of weeks'....all they care about is MURDER and sacrifice to moloch....anything else is a camel's nose under the tent and when we fail to define it as MURDER, "abortion" makes it sound acceptable in 'some' circumstances when the opposite is true.

Democrats have already aborted their future...that’s a primary reason there is a constant need to import more slaves who can be indoctrinated for the DNC plantation. Then keeping a fresh supply of children for their elites to abduct, you can see why the issue is all they have left to run on as a party.

The only reason for it to be a "losing issue" is when satanists can convince the absolutionist that there must be "compromise" with infant murder.

Same goes with whom the American Voter elects to represent them as the elected come from the same pool of reprobates and they wonder why they get horrible leadership.

Muslims are true to their religion even though it is a false religion...and punish anyone who misbehaves outside the boundaries.

Humans are born out of sin and retain it, and many do to the end. The only path to change this doomed course is repent and find Christ.

The liberals may agree that a fetus is a "human being", but they might disagree that it is a "human person".

But even if you can get them to agree that it is a human person, there are still folks who say that the mother is also a human person and her right to take control over her body outweighs the right of the fetus to be born.

Judith Butler is a feminist philosopher who put arguments before the court during the Roe v Wade decision that claimed to show that even if you consider the fetus a human person, it is still okay in some situations for it to be aborted.

This is why the Supreme Court came up with the wishy-washy compromise they did based on trimesters.

Look up Butler's Violinist scenario to see how she tried to use "logic and reason" to argue for abortion.

Pro-lifers need to change our free sex culture first — in our system the government follows the culture. Screaming at the opposition won’t work.

They refuse to produce photos of the results of partial birth abortions!

It’s that simple!
