This is true. All children are pro-life and naturally, instinctively horrified by the facts of abortion. Somewhere along the line, every pro-choice person has been swayed or convinced to believe abortion is OK.

I do not believe you will find any child under the age of 10, who has not heard of abortion before, who is not horrified and upset when it is explained to them in even the most nuetral and benign terms.

I explained it to my dauther when she came to ask me about it. This is exactly what I said (I wanted to find out what her reaction was so I did not use pro-life language, but pro-choice instead).

"When a the baby is very very tiny, it doesn't look like a baby it looks like a tadpole, sometimes a woman doesn't want want to let it grow into a baby and doesn't want to be a mommy, so she has a doctor take it out of her tummy and then it dies".

Immediately, my 8 year old daughter said, "But if she let it grow it would be baby someday" and later "Why doesn't she want it?" The clear logic of children is irrefutable. They instinctively understand that what is, is not what will be and the continuum of life ... without ever having taken biology or science classes. They know where they came from and that they would not be here if they had be "removed from the woman's tummy". Even without gory scare tactics, explaining abortion in the most positive pro-choice language possible .... children are horrified at the concept.

However, IMO most pro-choice persons avoid talking to children about abortion because they cannot refute the absolutely crystalline objective logic of children on the matter.
