I do think the author has a point though on the rhetoric. If you genuinely believed there was zero moral difference between an abortionist performing 20 abortions, and a person killing 20 toddlers at a day care center, you wouldn't just picket the day care center, you would act. The fact that we don't act in the same manner leads me to believe that deep down we know that it is evil, but not the same evil.

It is the difference between going 50 mph through a school zone, and 150. Both acts are absolutely heinous and should be stopped, however, we treat them a bit differently in our minds. I apologize for this analogy that in no way addresses the moral seriousness of this issue, but I think it is apt.

I am opposed to abortion, yet to be intellectually honest, if there were two abortions being performed and one 5 year old about to be killed and I could only get to one place on time to prevent it, I know in my heart that I would save the 5 year old.

I don't measure evil by degree nor do I point to one evil act and say it is superior to another evil act.

unborn baby v.s. infant v.s. toddler

False choices and false dilemma's also don't justify premeditated murder of an infant, unborn or a toddler.

Death is final and undeserving of the unborn, infant and toddler.
