...according to the very pro-abortion Alan Guttmacher Institute, 34 million abortions took place from 1973 to 1996. That's a million and a half per year. Who knows what genius men and women were whooshed away from our midst and with them what art, what music, what inventions, what cures. The only solace--and it is slight--is the knowledge that the great majority of these were aborted by Leftist mothers, and hence the potential growth in numbers of the Left has been reduced.
Of course, that's still not enough to justify murder, but it's something.

I often had the same thought. It's about as comforting as an ice pillow, but I know what you mean--that the murderers are murdering themselves out of existence.

Drive the pro-abortion crowd nuts by suggesting that there are psychological consequences to abortion.

I can hear the feminyst blood boiling already. They hate betrayal. They hate anyone to finally grow up and leave the sheltered sandbox of campus politics. They hate the fact that anyone would submit to a man, if only to have a child. And they know, and fear, that once any former feminyst has a "bookend" family, it will again become screamingly obvious that little girls ARE different from little boys.
They can't escape the inevitabilities of human behavior, so they cover their eyes and ears while screeching against it.

Did you ever dream we would call a politician a friend to women - no matter how flagrantly he exploited them - as long as he continued to back abortion on demand?This sentence needed highlighting.

Good one.
This is one that I highlight:
Did you ever dream we would enter the realms of denial required to condone a procedure in which a perfectly viable infant is pulled feet first through the birth canal until all but her head is exposed, then stabbed in the skull to suck out her brains, delivered dead and sold to the highest bidder for body parts?

From the NR article:
Every child should be a wanted child." Now that Roe is 30 years old, every person in America under the age of 30 could have been aborted. Every child is a wanted child the unwanted ones were all aborted, to the tune of one abortion for approximately every three live births. So how come the rate of reported child abuse is so high? In the early years after Roe there were 60,000 cases of child abuse reported annually. Today there are three million cases reported annually, a fifty-fold increase. The reasons for this increase are debatable, but one thing's for sure, abortion didn't prevent it. Aborting "unwanted" children hasn't helped. Instead, it's taught us that an unwanted person has no right to live. A child might be wanted very much during pregnancy, and not-so wanted a few months later when she's crying in the middle of the night. But abortion has taught us that a child deserves to live only if her parent wants her. It's a bizarre principle for feminists to endorse, who were vigorously fighting on another front against the idea, "I'm nothing unless a man wants me."

...and overhear a teen-age girl nonchalantly discussing with a friend the abortion she's having tomorrow. From the moment I saw my daughter's heartbeat on the ultrasound until today when I play with a happy, vivacious toddler, I can't imagine how someone could rationalize abortion. Her tears, her laughter, her attempts to pronounce words are precious to me.
People capable of abortion must have cold, dead hearts incapable of loving or being loved. To hell with houses, cars, careers. I would give it all up and rearrange my life to accomodate a child.
Anyone who wouldn't is throwing away treasure to keep garbage.

The NR article is excellent. You should post it. Thanks for providing a link.

The only solace--and it is slight--is the knowledge that the great majority of these were aborted by Leftist mothers Don't be satisfied by that thought. The 'leftist's', the hard core type of woman only comprise about 10 to 15% of those who abort. The vast majority of women are those who would sit next to you at a doctor's office, on a bus or at church.
Most women who abort are terminating their first pregnancy, usually around the age of 19 to 21. This is the age at which most women used to bear their first child.
Nope, don't think it's mostly 'leftist's' because it's not.

I have to leave, so if I post it, I won't be able to reply . If you want to post it, please do ...It's an excellent article , and there may be some here who don't look at NR every day. Today, most of its articles pertain to abortion and the anniversary of Roe V Wade.

My daughter has recently studied this woman. I made sure to tell her that she has absolutely nothing in common with today's feminists.
Psa 106:38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan (Choice): and the land was polluted with blood.
