That is because you are able to examine the facts and be intelluctually honest with yourself. The pro-abortion platform is a religion with the left.

It is ritual mass murder, a collective human sacrifice on an altar of pagan idolatry...

As a military officer, I am sure you see the analogy between this idea and the similitude of the National Socialist ritual mass murder in WWII. These grisly practices are based upon some ethereal foundation and not on an objective sense of justice or duty like killing other men in the heat of combat.

The enemy in battle is not defenseless and can just as easily defeat you if you are not careful to have your wits about you. A child in the womb has no way to counterattack or retreat.

A child in the womb has no way to counterattack or retreat. 276 posted on 11/11/2002 9:35 PM EST by Sir Francis Dashwood There's the snag, I think binky is still fuzzy about 'when the glob of cells becomes a human' (or if you wish, a child) thus binky is still using a sliding scale for judgement. Only rarely will a pro-choice person agree that the child in the womb ought be open for termination all along the continuum of individual human life that proceeds for roughly 40 weeks ... and binky has drawn the line at the transition period between embryonic and fetal stages. I don't think the 'ritual slaughter' argument should be applied to binky, as this poster is far from the radical we've debated here before. Remember the 'lady' who agreed that those are babies being killed in the womb, but she was okay with that if that was what it takes to keep the 'woman's right to choose a serial killer when she thinks she wants one? That is the extreme that seldom raises its ugly head, but it is always lurking here at FR because NOW and NARAL read here regularly, to see what arguments are currently threatening their ritual murder scheme.
