Teaching people that it is okay to kill other people for reasons of convenience, laziness, etc., cannot possibly have a good effect on society. When the only value placed on human life is whether it contributes in a utilitarian fashion to “society”, society cannot help but become ugly and base as a result.
When children are raised by mothers who killed their siblings, those children allowed to live suffer a lot of emotional damage. Women who abort must suppress their maternal instincts to kill their children—those instincts do not suddenly pop back up intact just because they decide to let a child live. Their ability to mother is impaired.
Abortion has the effect and purpose of fundamentally teaching women that they are worthless. If those who claim to be for women’s rights really believed in them, they would encourage women to use whatever means necessary to avoid pregnancy, instead of encouraging irresponsibility. It isn’t like there are no options for avoiding pregnancy—there are many, and more are being developed all the time. Regardless of what those who promote abortion claim, a woman *does* have the right to control her own body—and when she uses abortions for birth control, she is *not* exercising that right.
What it does is it diminishes the value of life. The pro-abortion people want us to redefine life so that it is easier to practice abortion.
A fetus becomes a lump of flesh. Tissue that is excised from the body like the tonsils or an appendix.
We should remember that the Nazi's did something very similar to the Jews in order to justify their atrocities.
