MEGoody has it right ......
After all, if the baby can be killed right up to the moment it's little head pops out of the birth canal, why not a few moments after?
Last year I read about a legislator who wishes to introduce a bill that would extend abortion beyond 9 months. That's right, this would be a post-abortion law, enabling parents to terminate their live child's birth, up to 1 month after birth. As MEGoody pointed out, if it is legal (hence, okay) to abort (hence, kill) your unborn child up to the very minute of birth, then what has changed in the minute following birth? The baby can now breathe on its own? Ladysusan rightfully reminds us of the other stories that made the news this year (notice that these stories are no longer front page. They have been moved deeper into the newspapers because they no longer trigger sensationalism in the public's view.)
Add to these atrocities the children who are locked up in cages in their homes or starved to death because a parent believes the child is "possessed". We live in a very sick world.
Meanwhile, there are those who would do anything for a child ... well, almost anything. Some of them are so greedy, that they insist on it being of their own flesh - even if it means investing thousands of dollars in destroying the lives others to produce a clone. Or what about the 2 homosexual men who have contracted with a surrogate mother and are now awaiting the birth of quadruplets? There are children walking the streets of So. America, homeless and starving.
I'll get off my soapbox now.
Instead, the Left, Planned Parenthood, and the Party of Bill Clinton tacitly impose a bullsh!t sentence on what essentially was a post-birth abortion, while once again showing their utter distain for life.
