One-third of Detroit pregnancies are aborted: report
Washington Times ^ | 5/25/14 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 05/25/2014 9:46:22 AM PDT by Nachum

Detroit women are turning to abortion at a staggering rate as poverty and crime grip the city, with more than one-third of pregnancies being terminated. According to 2012 figures, the most recent year for which data are available, 31 percent of pregnancies among Detroit residents ended in abortion — compared to about 14 percent for all of Michigan, The Detroit News reported. (Snip) Dr. Susan Schooley, chairwoman of the Department of Family Medicine at Henry Ford Hospital, said the statistics make Detroit look “more like some Third-World country than someplace in the United States.”

You pious people, who keep clutching your Bibles, spouting moral indignation, fire and brimstone, have lost not only the battle on abortion with your tactics, you’ve effectively lost the war for limited government, free market capitalistic enterprise and a cohesive American with your tactics, which have done nothing to achieve your stated goal: the preservation of life.

And there ya go. Another libertarian going out in a blaze of glory.

Dear NVDave,

I’ve been lurking on FreeRepublic for, well … forever! I’m always on the lookout for folks like you who share my views. Your Anti-Christian rant was spectacular, absolutely grand. Let me count the ways:

NVDave: “Yep. I’m not a nice guy.” “I’m someone who looks at the truth and speaks it as it is.”

Yes, yes NVDave! Let those foolish Christians be lead by that guy Jesus who claims that “He” has the truth and speaks it as it is. You and I know that “We” are the ones who know the real truth. That guy Jesus … pffft!

NVDave: “It is for this reason that I’m wholly and completely unabashed and unrepentant about cheering on the death of future generations of welfare recipients.” “Yes, there is.”

Go NVDave, go! Speak “Our” truth! Cheer their deaths and never be repentant! And the stuff that Jesus guy said about anyone hurting little children being in serious trouble? Well…. is that really what he meant? And did he mean it about Welfare babies? You and I think NOT NVDave, and remember, “We” know the real truth!

NVDave: “It is high time that conservatives quit trying to use morality and preaching to deal with this issue and admit that the moral argument is no longer viable.”

Good one NVDave. Claim the Conservative mantle and then cleave it from any “morality argument” those Christians might claim. After all, “We” sometimes have to ummm …. stretch the truth when explaining things like the necessity of killing babies, right?

NVDave: “You pious people, who keep clutching your Bibles, spouting moral indignation, fire and brimstone, have lost not only the battle on abortion with your tactics, you’ve effectively lost the war for limited government, free market capitalistic enterprise and a cohesive American with your tactics, which have done nothing to achieve your stated goal: the preservation of life.”

Go for it NVDave! Take it right to those Bible clutching Christians! If they can’t see the necessity to cheer for the death of future generations of welfare recipients, “We” will stand with each other, go out and find others who think like ourselves, and “git er dun”, right?

Ah yes, NVDave, I can’t tell you just how much happiness reading your Anti-Christian diatribe brings to me.

Oh yea, NVDave, don’t you worry a bit about being burnt mightily by your ZOT from FreeRepublic. I will always have room for you at my place (no air conditioning, but after your flaming ZOT, and your excellent anti-Christian positions, you’ll never even notice).

Your Bestest Friend Forever,

Lucifer (Beelzebub) Mammon

Unfortunately The Pill is an abortifacient that made us gods unto ourselves. We have never recovered.

The Pill was wholly an invitation to worse.

Recreational intimacy replaced God’s divine gift and yet we repent of nothing so socially accepted as The Pill, sold to us as our great liberator from all the complications of Man.

Where is the Anglo Christian population replacement number headed but to extinction. God wipes out entirely whole populations given over to themselves, whom He will, it seems quite proven.

Like dominoes the denominations fell, reluctantly at first, then cascading. Now the Catholic Church holds the commandment, but becomes silent on the teaching. The catalyst for the non war death culture is relatively ignored among Christians.

I would not even bother with Butthurt Form.

There’s no box for : “I have the heart of Satan and wish death on the most innocent of human beings”

Liked your comebacks.

:^/ Wish there were none left... but ty for updating me...

I remember a girl 2 classes ahead of me (I was Sophomore and she was Senior) had to go to Oklahoma for abortion.. (wasn’t me that ‘gave her the burden’, but Her mom was full blown Democrap.. that’s pretty much all I remember.. was decades ago :p).. Also, would have never been in same room with her (the Senior).. she was a well known $1ut (Lord forgive me for judging :/)..

Wife and I had a friend before we got married and got pregnant. She had an abortion and tried to commit suicide several years later. She failed and got right with God.

Not a nice story to hear.. but it had a good ending.. :/ I can’t even imagine being a woman to live with the guilt of same situation.. :/
BUT.. had negative feelings toward my ex-wife for years (still today) for her letting her mother tell her to get abortion .. :( (Another story, and decade in past..)..

I do not, and never will, condemn women for using whatever means necessary to avoid pregnancy-whether it is the pill, IUD, condoms, whatever. There are many reasons a woman might not want to get pregnant, and she has every right to use available means of preventing it.

To me, a far worse sin is to kill a baby in the womb. The brain forms between 3 and 5 weeks after conception—so the baby is able to feel and suffer the pain of abortion any time from that age onward.
