what if the poor young pregnant girl (who had been raised and brainwashed by pagan parents and Planned Parenthood in the public school system) was on her way to the abortion clinic but would have changed her mind just before the procedure (if some pro life person were allowed the right of free speech) was attacked before she got there...

No matter what the stats are in this poll, the question is irrelevant since everyone has a "right to life" as outlined in the First Amendment. Life is a continous process of conception, maturing, and death. The Founding Fathers didn't guarantee Americans a "right to life only after birth". A right to life means the entire process of life since no one can have "life" without first going through the life-making process of conception.


The taking of anyone's life is murder no matter what stage of developement that life is in, what the cause of death was, or what the Supreme Court says. 40 million lives have been butchered because the right to life, so plainly evident to the Founding Fathers, has been given over to nine people in black robes who cannot be held accountable for their actions, but are allowed to pass law condoning murder on a vast scale.

The propaganda value, in polling points, of the word "choice"

What if the pregnant women is on her way to the abortion clinic when she gets attacked and the fetus dies?

What if the wife a man was going to murder got killed accidentally while on her way to the site where he was planning to kill her? Is she any less dead? Her life and that of the unborn baby are the primary concern, not the intentionality or self-justification of those who want to off them.

The desires of the killers are subordinate to the lives of the others just as the desires of a thief are subordinate to the property rights of the one they want to despoil.

This is a legal can of worms that will result in desperate young people being executed.
