Not one of them wants to loose that child, and would do anything to have that child and know it would develop, and never suffer, and grow to adulthood. But they do not believe that is possible. They somehow believe they are saving their unborn from a life of torment by aborting them. Bless your heart Hank, you would really like to believe that, wouldn't you? It is a fiction of your mind, but I'm sure you would like to believe it, like for it to be true. The reality is much more gross, and I'm sure you don't need to confront that unseemly truth, so I won't press you further.

Bout the worst I've seen here for rationaliztion.

An objectivist's objectivist's objectivist. Makes Ayn Rand seem like a fuzzy ol granny out of a Currier and Ives litho.

I guess you missed this:

(I'm not talking about the hardened cases. You are not going to stop them with any laws.)

My son. I have seen more cruelty and evil in this world than you will ever imagine. It is not important. I was talking about those whose hands I've held while they wrestled with the decision of life and death, their own as well as their unborn.

Do you really care so little for those who actually have to make the choice you want to force them to make at the point of a gun? Do you really hate people so much? I do not believe it.

Thank you for your terrific posts. It is completely misguided for any one to suggest that pro-lifers don't care about the difficult decisions that women face when considering abortion. Crisis pregnancy centers all across the country offer women free medical, legal, material, and emotional assistance. There are millions of women who are scarred forever by the decisions they made to kill their children. No one should have to live with that guilt.

The discussions about what constitutes a child were fascinating, if not a little discouraging. Those without faith can more easily dismiss the value of life because they don't care about what God says is sacred. For me, I see the fingerprints of God all over a developing baby, at any stage.

Just about two years ago, I buried my precious identical twin sons. They were born beautiful, but still. Some in this thread claim they weren't babies, because I couldn't nurse them. Well, perhaps I shouldn't mourn them.

Thank you for caring about all life.
