The abortion industry’s values and traditions
It’s interesting that the abortion industry has stopped trying to logically defend partial birth abortion. While dismissing Judeo-Christian values and traditions against aboriton as intrusive, it finds itself forced to stand solely on its own values and traditions to defend pba. From the Washington Post, October 1:
In a brief on behalf of several doctors challenging the ban, the Center for Reproductive Rights told the [Supreme] court that it owes Congress no deference on issues of medical practice, and that the administration’s suggestion that Stenberg may be overruled “demonstrates an inadequate regard for the societal values held safe by the principles of stare decisis [past decisions, i.e., tradition].”
It is tenuous for the abortion industry to rest on these arguments alone. Sound law stands over time because it is based on logic borne of moral values. It proves itself healthy for society. Unsound law cannot stand over time because it is based on illogic borne of immoral values. It proves itself unhealthy for society. Dred Scott, voting rights for blacks and women, and segregation laws come quickly to mind. Does the abortion industry really want to stand on its 30-year share of American history to demonstrate the validity of its values and traditions?

Something for Pro-choicers to concider…..
Over 3,500 terminations per day, 1.3 MILLION per year in the United States alone.
50 or 60 MILLION per year World Wide.
I am a pro-lifer who has no religious convictions at all . I didn’t need the fear of god or anything else to come to my decision, just a good sense of what is right and wrong.
You see we were all once a fetus. Is it beyond the realm of possibilities that when your mother first learned she was carrying you, she may have considered her options? What if she had decided to terminate? Would that have been OK?
You would not exist, if you have children they would not exist, and your (husband or wife) would be married to someone else. You would have been deprived of all your experiences and memories. In this day and age with terminations being so readily available and so many being carried out, if you make it to full term
you can consider yourself lucky. Lucky you had a mother that made the choice of life for you. Don’t you think they all deserve the same basic human right, LIFE?
I’m all for contraception, prevention is certainly better than termination.
Did you know you can get an implant that is safe, 99.9% effective, and lasts for three years? Just think girls not even a show for three years, wouldn’t that be great? I think too many people rely too heavily on the last option (abortion), I think if abortions weren’t so readily available people would manage their reproductive system far better resulting in a fraction of the number of unwanted pregnancies.
World wide there are over 50 MILLION aborted pregnancies each year. In America 3,500 terminations carried out every day, that’s over 1.3 million every year, 50% of all cases claimed that birth control had been used, 48% admitted they took no precaution, and 2% had a medical reason. That’s a staggering 98% that may have been prevented had an effective birth control been used. Don’t get me wrong, I suspect the percentages in Australia would be much the same.
Just a lot of unnecessary killing.
At the point of conception is when life began for you. This was the start of your existence. Your own personal big bang. Three weeks after conception heart started to beat. First brain waves recorded at six weeks after conception. Seen sucking thumb at seven weeks after conception.
I am convinced that in the not too distant future, people will look back at many of the practices of today with disbelief and horror.
DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN GET AN IMPLANT (in arm) THAT IS – SAFE – 99.9% EFFECTIVE AND LASTS FOR THREE YEARS?

Want to know how to find humanity-?
True humanity can only be achieved, by concidering others/ caring about others, as much as, if not more than yourself.
Until we do we are no more than an uncivilisation, with all the uncivilised things that we do…
“You would not exist, if you have children they would not exist, and your (husband or wife) would be married to someone else. You would have been deprived of all your experiences and memories.”
I’m ok with that.
