This is really all anyone needs to know. Nearly 4000 INNOCENT AMERICAN BABIES ARE KILLED EACH DAY and the abortionists only want to see that number go up.
As the pro-aborts get more brazen there is actually some common ground on the facts. The pro-aborts are now more likely to admit that they are killing babies rather than “tissue.” This is common ground of a sort.
I am 100% against abortion.
This woman wants to regulate women’s fertility.
I don’t see what one has to do with the other. Well, actually I do. Less contraception, more abortion.
Why would anyone force a woman to conceive a child that is unwanted or not able to be cared for? This kind of attitude is fodder for the “pro-choice” folks.
uhhh....cause there is no middle ground between alive and dead?
Do you say "Okay, you just get to kill two out of every three babies and the third one gets born and adopted."?
"In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit."
-- Ayn Rand
Excellent article.
My Dad is a member of the clergy in New York. He gave a sermon two weeks before the election that didn’t at all endorse a candidate, but told the congregation that they had the obligation to vote in favor of life.
The next week, the church got nasty letters from some members of the congregation.
It’s amazing to me that those people can sit in a church and be pro-abortion. Really, if ANYONE is wasting their time going to church, it’s people who are so offended by a clergyman telling the congregation that they should vote against the murder of babies.

As bad as abortion is it is an even worse political football. It is one of the top 2 or 3 issues that give the Democrats power. It’s just too easy. A battle that you can’t win today. You can despise those who do it but tbe cost of it being a policy weapon is Obamacare which kills people too
“Really, if ANYONE is wasting their time going to church, its people who are so offended by a clergyman telling the congregation that they should vote against the murder of babies.”
I would imagine they are the people that need to be in church. And I imagine God is trying His best to open their hearts. (But yeah - I don’t get it either.)
I think some Christians are Democrats as because the Democrats sell themselves as the helpers of the poor, the weak, etc. Which some people confuse with the Biblical traits of helping the poor and weak.
But then I guess they end up buying into all of the other crap (abortion, gay marriage, etc.)
"This woman wants *WOMEN* to regulate womens fertility."
Fixed it for you.
True - about God trying to open their hearts — but it almost seems demonic to go into a church and then send abusive letters to the clergy preaching the tenets of the religion.
I often tell the annoying holier-than-thou atheist liberals among my friends, when they get on my back about “Jesus would have been a democrat” that it’s BS because Jesus isn’t handing out any brownie points for FORCED giving.
This is EXACTLY what the Whigs were saying to conservatives 160 years ago:
As bad as abortion SLAVERY is it is an even worse political football. It is one of the top 2 or 3 issues that give the Democrats power. Its just too easy. A battle that you cant win today.
Guess what? The conservatives left the Whigs, formed the GOP and in just over a decade they ended slavery.

Abortion has killed nearly 60 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICANS since 1973 and that number increases EVERY 24 SECONDS. I really don't give a damn what it "costs" to end it.
The fact is, abortion and contraception go up in tandem.
Now, why would that be?
(Think, think, think.)
The problem seems to be this:
Your idea that contraception reduces unintended pregnancies is a perfectly reasonable inference from pharmacological evidence, but not a reasonable inference from societal evidence. Your conclusion is obvious, common-sensical, and factually incorrect.
This is because contraception has two principal results, one intended and one unintended.
A contraceptive reduces the odds of any particular act of intercourse resulting in pregnancy.
But the easy availability of contraceptives spawns a mentality which holds that intercourse, once intended for procreation and for pleasure, is now intended for pleasure tout court.
The first (intended) consequence has resulted in fewer births per x number of acts of intercourse, albeit with a 3% - 30% typical-use "failure" rate (Highly relevant link on contraceptive failure rates).---an offensive term, but its meaning is "pregnancy rate." The second (unintended) consequence has been a massive increase in the frequency of intercourse between people who are not married to each other, hardly even like each other, are not building a life together, and/or, even if married, have no intention of being co-responsible for a baby.
Altogether, 53% of unplanned pregnancies occur to women who are using contraceptives (that includes the Pill, condoms, jellies, jams, and sprays), but nearly 100% of these women are surprised, affronted, feel angry, betrayed, etc. by the now-shocking fact that sex led to pregnancy.
This number is greater than the number of men who feel that way, because increasingly, men don't think about it at all. ("Pregnancy? Well, whatever. That's her problem.")
This leads to promiscuity, divorces, abortion, skyrocketing STD's (HPV now infecting one in four sexually active Americans), sub-baboon levels of sexual responsibility, mutual contempt between men and women, mutual contempt between parents and children, etc.
Contraceptives were the paraphernalia of Ye Olde Sexual Revolution. That's old news. That happened 50 years ago. What's happened since --- the 50 million American abortions and the 30% American illegitimacy rate (in the most contraceptive - subsidized communities, 70% illegitimacy) is the result.
(Just waiting for the typical liberal response: It didn't work? Well, that's because we didn't do it enough! Do it earlier! Easier! Faster! Door-to-door! Coast-to-coast! Make it mandatory! Above all, let's throw more money at it...)
We just saw that here in Tennessee 25 hours ago. We passed a pro0-life Amendment (Amendment One) and MORE PEOPLE voted on the Amendment issue than voted on the entire governor's race, and I mean Democrat+Republican+ all the Seen Dwarves. The pro-abrtion ide outspent the pro-life side by almot 4-to-1 and pro-life sill won.
And how 'bout Texas! Look around.
Language can be confusing. Try thinking your ideas through before committing them for just anybody to read. Then, perhaps, you can explain your concerns.
When I say that I am for abortion should it threaten the health of the mother, I mean that should the mother get a life threatening illness or be so severely injured that the only way to save her is to take the baby, then by all means, save the mother.
When a pro-abortion says it, they mean that should the mother even worry about the pregnancy, that is enough “mental anguish” to qualify for an abortion.
