One day back in high school, a very interesting English teacher asked our class a moral question: if you could press a button and get a million dollars, but a little old man -- with no family, friends, or ties of any kind -- in the backwoods of China would die, would you push that button?
Approximately a third of the class raised their hands in the affirmative.
This story always comes to mind when I ponder the abortion question. The old line of the pro-abortion lobby was that they wanted abortion to be "safe, legal, and rare," implying it's some sort of necessary evil. Their reasoning always was, "Well, we don't know when human life begins, so whether or not to end a pregnancy should be the woman's choice." Of course, this position was never morally or philosophically sound. After all, if what lies within the womb is just an "unviable tissue mass," why worry about abortion being "rare"? Oh, yes, the pro-aborts aren't sure about the intrauterine being's status. All right, then what they're essentially saying is that they'll err on the side of recklessness. It may be murder, you know -- so we'll just do it a little bit.
Yet the truth is different still.
The militant pro-aborts couldn't have cared less about any of the above.
It was simply that pushing the button worked for them.
And now that we've descended further down the rabbit hole of atheism and barbarity, the mask is coming off. New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo just recently bloviated about keeping people safe from imaginary "assault weapons," but then in a later speech advocated abortion almost without restriction. He repeated passionately, "It's her body, her choice!" -- three times. Interestingly, this political tactic for manipulating the masses was recommended by Adolf Hitler...

The more Cuomo opens his mouth the more he confirms that he is of the same ilk as the slime named Bloomberg, Eric the Corrupt, Obama, and so on.
One of my favorite authors; EXCELLENT article... thank you!
Wow.
In today’s America, the most dangerous place to be a woman is inside her mother’s womb. How can anyone with a moral sense not realize that this is a regression to barbarism?
Next step, cannibalism.
Abortion mindset also leads to further lack of responsibility as parents
Because it degrades the way society values parenthood. Now:
Fathers aren’t important
Daycare from day one is fine
No work ethic is fine
No right or wrong so long as you don’t get caught
This is why courts that legislate are not only mass murderers
But also have sentenced society en mass to lifetimes of suffering
And anguish.
“...The more Cuomo opens his mouth the more he confirms that he is of the same ilk as the slime named Bloomberg, Eric the Corrupt, Obama, and so on....”
Communists, American-haters, ALL!!!

The Easy Answer to One of the Oldest Moral Dilemmas

That scenario was proposed in The Genius of Christianity by François-René de Chateaubriand in 1803 as a defense of Christianity. It is telling that so many now would choose to kill.
Here is an 80s version: Button, Button
Plot summary. Note the punchline.
is in it's mothers womb.
1 in 5 chance of being murdered while in an American womb
The tragedy is overwhelming. What must God, think of us.
But the answer to that intrauterine being's status has been known for ages, sadly in the event of miscarriage, couched in the doctor/midwife/shaman/medicine woman's words: "She lost the baby."
What some so often seek to hide with obfusticating language, our speech reveals.
Nice catch!
BTW, what the public calls a miscarriage is called an abortion in medicine regardless of whether it was spontaneous or induced. Satan never sleeps!
