Andy is right. The issue is not stopping with a No to abortion. It’s starting with a No to abortion.

It’s not that the problems you mention don’t exist, aren’t serious, or don’t merit attention. On the contrary.

What I object to is the suggestion—tell me if I am getting you wrong—that abortion is an unfortunate, but more or less understandable, consequence of social problems, which ought to be drawing the main bulk of our attention. Doesn’t this kind of thinking run the risk of failing to take abortion seriously enough?

Again, I’m not downplaying the issues you mention. What I am saying is this: doesn’t tolerating abortion as a more or less understandable solution to social problems—isn’t that really just a bandaid that a lazy society slaps on those problems?

How can we solve social problems that boil down to lack of love for other people and for ourselves through an act that is the taking of an innocent human life?

Of course, you may not believe that abortion is the taking of an innocent human life, but then that is a different argument.

Cheers.

However, the question of abortion IS totally separate from anything thereafter. The thing to keep in mind is that aborting a baby IS aborting God’s divine plan for the individual that he saw fit to bring into the world in the first place. The ‘evils’ of single-parent families and/or orphanages pales by comparison and are nothing more than trials & tribulation.

When my mom raised us, she was very active in the right to life movement, I can still remember licking and folding newsletters to send out and whatever.

I am dogmatically and uncompromisingly pro-life, and pro-black, and I don’t see how anyone who says they are pro-black can not be pro-life, when I read statistics that say there is a very real potential that in 10 to 15 years 50% OF ALL ABORTIONS will be performed on black women.

The genocidal and eugenic intent of the founder of Planned Parenthood is well known. The program she envisioned in the early 1900′s is in effect today.

What is even more scary is that the voices on this subject are almost unheard, no body in the black community talks about it and it is almost equal silent on the white pro-life vocalist.

It destroys from the inside by killing a potential family member, as well as the contributions that person would have made that now can never come to light.

It destroys from the outside by creating an environment when inconvenience becomes a hugh tragedy that must be eliminated at any cost.

Inside and out again it corrupts the life of the abortion victim. He or she becomes bitter, or proudly guilty. I have never known an abortion victim who was glad his or her baby was aborted. Never in fifty years have I heard an abortion story that didn’t end or begin with “I had no choice.” Pro-choice indeed.

God have mercy on us all. God bless your efforts.
