So What if Abortion Ends a Life?
It is hard to even read the words, much less say them. It is chilling to think that someone who has given birth to children can even think them. A life worth sacrificing.
Abortion ruins lives. It kills the child and often savages the mothers. Don’t believe me? Ask someone who has had an abortion how old their child would be today. I know several women who have had the procedure and each of them knows the answer instantly. Even the most pro-abortion person I know admits that the procedure had a lasting negative impact on them.
The next time you hear that it saves a life - and you will because PPP has admitted that they can’t skirt the life issue anymore - be prepared to ask some questions. Did the life get saved because the mother’s health was so precarious that death was imminent if the child was allowed to go to term? Chances are they are talking about things like careers or reputations or the loss of some “fun.” After all even the president is not willing to punish his daughter with a baby.
Yes, the majority of “saving lives” comes in the form of not having to answer difficult questions. Questions from spouses. Questions from parents. Most adults call this facing the consequences of our actions.
How many teenagers have sought refuge (and been encouraged to do so) by terminating a life rather than answering parent’s questions? How many have refused to allow a swelling waistline to interfere with that really special prom dress?
The pro-abortion crowd needs to take a serious look at the practice of considering some lives worth sacrificing. History is replete with the consequences of taking that path.
My belief that life begins at conception is mine to cling to. And if you believe that it begins at birth, or somewhere around the second trimester, or when the kid finally goes to college, that’s a conversation we can have, one that I hope would be respectful and empathetic and fearless. We can’t have it if those of us who believe that human life exists in utero are afraid we’re somehow going to flub it for the cause. In an Op-Ed on “Why I’m Pro-Choice” in the Michigan Daily this week, Emma Maniere stated, quite perfectly, that “Some argue that abortion takes lives, but I know that abortion saves lives, too.” She understands that it saves lives not just in the most medically literal way, but in the roads that women who have choice then get to go down, in the possibilities for them and for their families. And I would put the life of a mother over the life of a fetus every single time — even if I still need to acknowledge my conviction that the fetus is indeed a life. A life worth sacrificing.Just as shocking is the statement that abortion saves lives, too. My response - BS.

Sparta must be regarded as the first folkish state. The exposure of the sick, weak, deformed children, in short their destruction, was more decent and in truth a thousand times more humane than the wretched insanity of our day which preserves the most pathological subject.
