You know, I have always been curious…. Why is a baby a baby when you want it, but called something else when you don’t want it?
I'm sorry that you feel your son's blindness is such a problem, but for the rest of us I think it's safe to say something like that is not cause to terminate a pregnancy, no matter how much you think it is.

Yeah, I'm not the apologist. I think it's wrong on the surface, regardless of the transaction particulars.

It is called justification and people willing to commit acts like this need it because of horrible nature if it. Religion aside this really does leave a permanent stain that time cannot just wash away. It is also the reason they use arguments like orphans and poverty avoidance. It is all justification to help make it more palatable for the people doing it.

I am not ok with abortion at all. I just wish people would put the same passion and effort into the living. Then abortion would just about go away.

So, I've asked what's wrong with forcing birth control or temporary sterilization on every human until they can prove they are ready to procreate (which is the ONLY way to completely eliminate unwanted pregnancies). No answer.
I've asked how Planned Parenthood forces black women to get abortions. No answer.
If we reduce poverty, will we reduce abortion rates? I believe we will. Are we willing to do whatever it takes to reduce poverty, and therefore abortion rates?
Are we all willing to put money and effort into building up these communites? Making sure their schools are just as good as the rich neighborhood schools, with up-to-date facilities, text books, technology, and the best teachers money can buy? Are we willing to provide free college tuition to the members of these communities, and free access to trade schools teaching valueable skills for professions like plumbers, electricians, welders, etc.? Are we willing to pay for more social programs, like sending an army of community organizers to help the male youth in these neighborhoods stay out of the gang trap, and to help ALL youth to be more educated on sexuality and the advantages of protected sex?
So, you agree that the government should stay out of a woman's uterus. I also think that a woman's uterus is hers to do with as she wishes.
