Should Abortion be Legal?

To discuss abortion rationally we must first define what it is.? Abortion advocates dishonestly refuse to face this issue.? They hide behind nebulous slogans like “pro-choice.”? They harp on every other concern—economics, feelings, feminism, even global warming—but they never specify what “choice” we are talking about.?? Ironically, abortionists themselves have freely testified in court about what abortion is: the killing of babies—by feeding them through a grinder, by wrenching off their limbs, by sucking out their brains and by lethal injection.? Prenatal imaging now lets us see these same babies living, growing, and playing early-on in the womb.? Embryology textbooks unanimously declare that each of our lives began at one decisive moment:? the fertilization of sperm and egg.? After fertilization we surely exist and nothing is added to change what we are.? Denying this is like insisting that the world is flat.? Arguing that a human life begins later, such as when one becomes “self-aware”, is completely arbitrary.? It reduces people to what they can do rather than who they are.? It dehumanizes people with disabilities and allows intellectuals like Princeton’s Peter Singer to publicly advocate killing children long after birth, because they haven’t achieved “personhood”…until Singer decides they have.? Killing an innocent baby is never justified, especially when killed by anyone who derives profit from the act.? The more vulnerable a child, the more in need of protection the child is.? But the womb, where nearly one in three are killed, has become the most dangerous place in America.? The mere fact that a child is inside a woman doesn’t reduce him to sub-human status any more than your right to life changes depending on where you live.? People are not valuable based on whether we want them, or whether they are “convenient.”? We are valuable because we are human beings.? No person’s life is worthless; and no one who profits from death should be able to determine the value of life.
