  • Sex reversal

    I understand (and agree with) Saletan's concern with selective abortion of girls, traceable, I am sure to a lower value placed on girls in China (and other places). But note that the ratio would not be skewed if the same number of girls, but a larger number of boys had been aborted. Would that then be OK, to kill the same number of girl ...

    I can't speak for all Pro-Lifers, but our group has never yelled ''Baby Killer'' or anything similar. Hatred is from the other side. We're the Christians. We love the babies and are compassionate toward the mothers who feel they have no choices. Yeah, I agree with you, anyone who kills someone else can't truly be ''Pro-Life''. Yes, I do ...

    Are you sure you were looking at an ultra sound and not a video? Was the machine probe pointed at her uterus? Fingers and toes are DEFINITELY visible during the late end of the first trimester when most abortions are performed. Yet, what you saw and describe doesn't surprise me. PP isn't really interested in presenting ''choices''. Choose any ...

  • Re: Catholic Hypocrisy

    HI Cassandra, Where I work, we have some large printing equipment. A woman who knew I was pro-life approached me and asked me to make her a sign that read ''I regret my abortion, ask me why'' She wanted the sign to use as she protested at an abortion mill. So when I made the sign for her, I asked her why. She said that she knows she killed ...

  • Re: Catholic Hypocrisy

    Yeah Cassandra, it's not uncommon to hear people discuss their apendectomy, or fracture, or tonsilectomy, but they never openly discuss their abortion. I wonder why? Surely they don't care about MY opinion do they? Surely they aren't ashamed of something ''safe, legal and acceptable''. Or are they.... Yeah, they are ashamed. Deep down, we ...

  • Re: something that is never mentioned

    Well you need to read some more then. Your emotions cloud your reasoning. If in fact you have an education, then you know (particularly as an ethicist) that uncontrolled outbursts are a sure sign of a hidden problem. I'm guessing involvement in an abortion. But maybe not. But surely, if that's the case, you'd have to agree that your ability ...

  • Re: So sick of this.

    Correction.... one point six million murders per year. Almost fifty million since Roe v. Wade. That's roughly 17% of our population. That's 1/6 of our population - young people who would be starting their own families now, paying taxes, buying houses and contributing to society that are missing. Yep, no issue is bigger than slaughtering 1.6 ...

    Check your facts folks. PP does NOT encourage or promote adoption. IF they did ''Planned'' ''Parenthood'' would be a natural segway toward adoption and offer the services themselves. But they're not really planning parenthood for anybody. Interestingly enough, the Crisis Pregnancy Centers who DO promote adoption are on PP's target list. ...

  • Re: something that is never mentioned

    Sorry, your ten cents, isn't worth a nickel. Honest Pro-life folks see that women who are faced with a crisis pregnancy need the greatest compassion of all. Pro-Choice folks don't realize that she's not offered any choice at all except killing her child. Planned Parenthood doesn't offer (or want to offer) information about adoption options, ...
