All these snide comments about how "awful" it must be if a woman has to carry a baby to term and then give it up for adoption (or *gasp* raise it herself), do little except to solidify my argument.
All I can do is point out how utterly ridiculous you people sound when you try to equate the "horror" of raising a child when one is unprepared or ill-equipped to do so with the very real horror of what is happening at these abortion clinics.
If you've never looked into what really happens at the clinics, you need to. We aren't talking about a 25 year old married woman and her husband who have decided after a few weeks to have a simple "procedure" done because they can't afford it right now.
While even that is disgusting, I'm talking about true evil, where young women are brought in to the clinic, "diagnosed" with whatever is necessary to justify killing their unborn child, then brought in to the room where the fetus is "terminated" in a way that would make ANYONE's skin crawl.
It's disgusting. I'll spare you having to look at or watch a real abortion procedure, because it's pretty disturbing. But I encourage folks to check out this web page from the notorious Dr. George Tiller's site:
George Tiller MD - Wichita, Kansas - Late Abortion Care
Some of you might even find it touching. I thought it was a joke at first, but sadly, it isn't.
Finally, I just want to say that many of the arguments put forth in the posts on this page could also be used to justify the mistreatment of slaves. The only difference is how we perceive an unborn child versus how we perceived black folks back in the 1800's...
One more thing - spare me the excuses - those who say, "I'm against abortion but I support a woman's right to choose."
Pull your socks up to your balls, be a man, and stand for something.
