“Abortion centers in Austin, Texas and Kalispell, Montana either cut back hours or closed for entire days during the campaign. In other cities, the number of women seeking abortions declined sharply.”
Among the lives saved during that time might be that of the scientist who discovers the cure for cancer. Ya never know.
Abortionists have killed ONE BILLION babies worldwide in the past century (over 50 MILLION in the US since 1973). Simple statistics dictate that they have killed an untold number of Nobel-worthy scientists and at least several people on the level of an Einstein who would have made contributions that changed the course of history.
True. And one of the lives saved might also be that of the next Mao Zedong, or Ted Bundy, or the Unibomber.
While you're absolutely right about the possibilities these unborn kids represent, let's not take a detour down Utilitarian Avenue; the corner of Dewey Lane and Bentham Street is in a really bad neighborhood. Even if every baby saved by the Forty Days campaign grows up to be a meth-addicted gutter bum, it was still worth it to save their lives.
The point is not the chance that a given baby saved from abortion might be a great man or great woman someday; the point is that human life is intrinsically sacred, and that it is always wrong to take an innocent human life.
I'm not trying to harsh on ya -- I just wanted to make that point clear. Sorry to interrupt!
