"If an unwanted child is by definition a victim, there are a lot of victims out there."

Actually an unwanted child is something of a victim, unless you consider growing up in the merry-go-round of foster homes healthy or a well deserved repayment for intruding in his mother in the first place.

But maybe I assume too much, perhaps by child you mean the unborn germ, that bane of societal evolution and plague infecting the nations of the earth.

To tell the truth, I simply cannot understand your hatred for the unborn. Having a child of less than a year and another soon to be born, it is quite incomprehensible to me. I can see little point to carrying on this debate.

"To tell the truth, I simply cannot understand your hatred for the unborn. "

As often as not, when someone uses the phrase "To tell the truth", it means they're about to fool themselves, into believing a lie.

I don't hate the unborn, any more than I hate anyone who is dependent on another. You're lying, to say that I hate the unborn, because I think you know it's not true. Dependency happens all the time, and I don't hate the dependent. But we live under a Constitution that preserves the basic rights to life liberty and property. One of the keys to liberty is independence. It's just as important as life. I just love, and will fight for, everyone's right to be free and independent of other people. That includes the rights of, for example, a raped women to be free of the physical bonds and demands that a rapist's child without her consent, places on her body.

I don't hate the unborn. I'll not accuse you of hating liberty either, because I just think you're naive rather than evil.
