What's ridiculous about being more concerned with the unspeakable and lengthy suffering of many children around the world, than with the quick extinguishment of the lives of early-stage fetuses? We can certainly agree that it would be a better world if neither were happening, but at the present time that isn't achievable.

I very much doubt that human suffering will ever completely end, as long as humans think they are in charge of things.
It is specious to argue that aborting a child whose purpose in life is not knowable, helps humanity as a whole.
Abortion has existed as a "choice" for thousands of years.
There have always been ways to rid oneself of an unwanted pregnancy, and never has any society before us condoned it.
Initially,Roe v Wade was going to save lives of desparate women who were seeking back alley abortions, and dying from illegal medical procedures.
We, as a society are now reaching the point that it will be demanded of women, whether or not they "choose" to abort.
See China.
Also open your eyes and look around.
I was encouraged by my doctor to abort my pregnancy, because highly advanced medical tests predicted a high probability of a "defective child".
My child is normal,healthy, and the joy of my life.
If she were not normal and healthy, she would still be the joy of my life.
I am not an anti-abortionist.I am pro-life.
I find the pro-life and pro-abortion camps equally controlling, but at least the pro-life camp has clear moral authority.
I am deeply concerned that my daughter may one day need medical or government "permission" to bear a child.
I want everyone out of the business of controlling womens wombs.There has been only one immaculate conception birth in all of theocracy.All other known births need the physical combination of sperm and egg to happen.
Much more attention needs to be paid to the sperm donors,for the sake of every society on Earth. IMHO.
