If you can’t justify a decision, don’t make it.

It is clear that a child should not be murdered an hour before labor begins or should be induced.

It is also clear that a child that has about 50% of its DNA from its father is not all mom’s.

It is also clear that a child with a heart beat is a living human being.

No person should have any fear of stating such truths or protecting innocent human life.

“No person should have any fear of stating such truths or protecting innocent human life.”

Good point. I will take it one step further. No one should have any fear of stating their beliefs truthfully - no matter what they are.

What I mean is that there are two parts of the abortion conversation that I find appalling.

1. That so many innocent unborn lives are being taken.

2. That the “conversation” about this tragedy is built around deception and denial. Reason is not prevailing - even in our highest court, which should be the guardian of reason.

The second part is almost more disturbing and more threatening to our Republic than the first part - for if it is impossible to have an honest debate, then self governance is impossible.

I have tried to have conversations with “pro-choice” people, and you simply can’t reason with them. You can’t get them to follow basic rules of debate. You can’t pin them down on even the most basic assumption: when life begins.

If you ask that question, you either get a lie or you get avoidance. Suddenly the subject is diverted to “who should pay for unwanted babies?” or “Why is it a man’s business what a woman does with her own body?”

These are diversions from the real questions at hand: “Is an unborn baby a human being or not?” and “How is taking an innocent unborn human’s life different than taking any other innocent human life?”.

It is impossible to get a straight and honest answer from these people - even in the highest court of the land, where presumably their job is to think straight and hold us all accountable to reason and truth.

And that is a big problem.

I've been trying for DECADES to get the prolife side to use the DNA argument because the only argument against it is to say that DNA doesn't work.

Also trying to get all prolifers to use the term "preborn" instead of "unborn".

I've made virtually no progress.
