She thought she was willing to pay the price for having an abortion.
That day it was “buy one, get one free”.
It gives other pregnant women a(nother) reason to think twice before aborting.
Ouch!
Sorry. I know it was mean, but it strikes home.
Let me explain the analogy since you missed it:
Should we save the victims one by one? Or would it be better to go after the killers instead?
Do we treat the symptoms as they arise? Or shouldn’t we instead treat the disease?
Do we save a handful of Jews at a time from death camps? Or do we march in with guns blazing and instead put an end to the evil Nazi regime that’s slaughtering them?
If these women are killing their babies because they’re “basically good people” whom our culture has convinced that abortion is not murder, maybe we could put a swift end to all this butchery by shouting far and wide that it IS murder. It’s worked in the past. What’ve we got to lose? (Except a smile of approval from certain of our fellow pro-lifers.)

Saving a handful of Jews at a time does more good than simply calling the Nazis what they are - and for those who crow about doing the latter to disparage the activities of the former is beyond contemptible.
Oh, stop pretending you’re Jesus.
By your and others’ logic, we’d have never stormed Germany. Instead we’d have simply described Hitler and his Nazis as “basically good people” who believed what they were doing was hunky-dory.
That wacked-out thinking is costing lives. And you think saving one here and one there makes it okay. Sheesh.

Evade. Distort.
Do you often have this much trouble understanding analogies? Or do you simply dislike mine on general principles?
However, there aren't any.
My thoughts on abortion...too bad we can’t abort certain folk ex-post-facto style for their being so much in favor of this evil, murderous activity.
They support the murder of millions, yet scream bloody murder in support of abolishing the constitution and our God ordained rights when school children are killed by a mad-man who is a product of the evil culture they have created.
You first.
No, I understand, and I appreciate your cordial manner as well.
I guess I'll say this and leave it here: I agree with you that almost any woman who procures an abortion is participating in the murder of an innocent person. There's no getting around that, and I don't absolve those who've done it of the act just because they were in difficult circumstances.
But when you look at how Jesus and those who worked closely with Him in ministry handled people who were also knowingly doing sinful stuff, what you see is that there was a spirit of gentle firmness, not a diatribe. The Bible takes sexual sin very seriously, even referring to a woman who seduces men as being like a person who eats them like bread or pushes them into a grave. Not as bad as murder, but still...and look at the way our Lord treated the woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery and the woman who anointed his feet. Heck, look at how he treated Saul, a mass murderer, and the thief on the cross.
Lastly, I know people who have looked an abortion-minded mom in the eyes and told her she'll be a murderer if she goes forward with the abortion. But if they had opened with that, or mounted it as some sort of public campaign...yeah, no dice.
Thanks for listening, and have a great week.
Yep.
If I were to show every high school student the crime scene photos and autopsy photos from a drunk driver killing himself and another person, I doubt anyone would say I was trying to drum up sympathy for the jackass. They would know I was showing those kids where a certain road would lead.
So, if someone showed a high school kid a photo of a drunk driver on the autopsy table, they would be absolving the drunk driver of his wrongs and treating him as a poor, sweet victim?
You didn’t very well comprehend the post to which I was responding.
Read the whole conversation.
