Anyway, back to the subject at hand. I don't have much quarrel with your assertion that 13 year old girls are duped into thinking the baby is not a really a baby yet, but what about the 20 somethings, who to the best of my knowledge are the biggest buyers of abortion? Have they been duped? I don't think so. They know full well what they are doing, and have had ample opportunity to avoid the pregnancy, what with the widespread availability, and relatively cheap price of birth control.
And not only that, they are much like the drug users. Everyone loves to hate the pusher, but without the user the pusher goes away. Same with abortion, if no one solicits it, the 'provider' goes away.
To be honest with you, I have more respect for OJ than for women who kill their unborn because at least OJ faced his prey when he slaughtered them. The woman goes to a doctor, hands him a couple of hundred dollars and a couple of hours later, and a limb here and organ there, problem solved. She never sees the baby, he or she is discarded like yesterday's trash.
There are very few actions in life which are lower than abortion, in my view. That tiny being of God, relying on his or her mother for ultimate protection, meets his dismembered end through her desire and at her very hands. It is truly, truly evil.
Oh, and one last thing Mr. Silverback, you and your wife are doing God's work supporting the crisis pregancy center you mentioned. I always said that if I ever made a ton of money, I would open a home for unwed mothers and try to help them through such a troubled time and existence.
All the best to you.
Though these young women have been in public schools and have some college experience, they are woefully lacking in their understanding of the life that already exists when a woman is pregnant. I hear the same tired lines that PP'hood has been feeding the public for lo these last three decades. Since I've done some public speaking in the schools of our area, these young women trust me to tell them the truth. I've told them they may ask any question of me, and if I do not know the answer, I'll tell them so and seek to find an answer for them that is both truthful and non-obfuscatory. So far, I've had only one question of the myriad of queries that has stumped me, but I dug for the answer and shared it.
Young women, even 'educated' young women, are not in possession of the full truth, and are quite often operating on half-truths and outright lies. The culture of 'death is utilitarian' has accomplished the dumbing down of our young women. But they're not the only ones woefully misinformed. Ask three adult women whom you would say are moderate in their political views what is the actual procedure in a partial birth abortion; you will likely be shocked to find they cannot tell you and may not want you to tell them! Deeper than that is the lack of understanding for the earliest age of human lifetime, the embryonic age.
