What gets me about most pro lifers is that their belief in the "Sanctity of Life" appears to end once the fetus has left the womb. After that it is a free for all and it's every man, woman or child for themselves. Just watch the news on any night and see how many ways we can kill each other and for what reasons.

In the area where I live there was another baby left abandoned, in the snow, in the woods, with the umbilical cord still attached. Thank God that this infant was left to live just long enough for the mother to leave it to DIE of hypothermia. This is the fifth case of baby abandonment in less than a year. Four of which were left to die.

In another news story, a two year old just had it's head blown off by some low life POS.

A Norfolk Police Officer was just shot and killed a few days ago.

Could someone tell me exactly why life is so precious while it is still in the womb, but it does not seem to be worth a dime once it leaves?

GWB is so pro life, yet he is about to start a war that will kill who knows how many men, women and children both born and unborn. So much for the highly touted Sanctity of Life. I guess he is only pro "specific" life.

Once I see human beings respect each other's right to live just a little bit more, will I start to believe that the pro life movement is anything more that a method for some people to feel morally superior to others.

You can't possibly be this ignorant. Pro-life people give 100s of millions of dollars a year for crisis pregnancy centers which help single mothers who want to give birth to their babies, but do not have support from family members, friends or the father. They give these women pre and post natal healthcare, they take the women into their homes, are they help them after the pregnancy to either put the child up for adoption or to raise the child themselves. The pro-choice people are the 1st class hypocites. They are all for choice, as long as the choice is to kill the baby. Planned Parenthood does not spend a cent on helping women who choose not to abort their babies.

Isn't it obvious why women are abandoning their babies, given the legallity of abortion? If it is legal to kill a baby halfway through the birth canal, why shouldn't it also be legal to kill or abandon a child after it's born?

Regarding your opposition to the upcoming war in Iraq, realize that this country spends billions of dollars to develop weapons that kill as few people as possible. Why don't we use tactical nuclear weapons when it would be cheaper and much more effective at killing the enemy? The reason is that we value life, even the enemy who has sworn to kill us if they can. War regrettably is sometime necessary to prevent further loss of life. Tell me is it morally right for a policeman to kill a criminal or terrorist who is threatening to kill someone else? Of course it is. And it is morally right to stop Hussein who is a madman who has no regard for the life of anyone else. How do you propose we stop him? Negotiate? Was it morally wrong for the allies in WWII to stop Hilter and the Japanese? Should we have negotiated some more with Hilter, pleading with him to spare the Jews?

"Once I see human beings respect each other's right to live just a little bit more, will I start to believe that the pro life movement is anything more that a method for some people to feel morally superior to others."

My fellow Americans, it is time to suck it up. Look deep into your immortal soul (if you believe you have one) and do the right thing. Have the courage and strength to live your own life, by your own standards, and stop trying to call the shots for everyone else.

Well said, both of you.

Sounds like you and I are watching the same news channels, dude... I saw the initial report on this on WVTV 10, when they broadcast the 911 call made by the woman notified by the kid who found the body-- anything new in the investigation? Were more specs about the infant released, like race, DOB, official cause of death, etc?
