... I see it phrased in a way to elicit a specific response – ‘no, a person who believes that abortion is murder cannot be pro-choice’. Abortion is in direct violation of their personal beliefs. It seems that everything is either black or white when they discuss abortion… outlaw abortion and impose criminal penalties on violators.

Abortion = murder... period

Such outrage over abortion, such blood lust for vengeance against those who would perform or receive an abortion, regardless of the circumstances... their hatred is palpable.

Yet these same right-to-lifers support war, support the death penalty, and are first in line to demand cuts in economic & social programs that would benefit the innocent unborn after their entry into this bizarre world. The innocent children in Iraq are nothing but ‘collateral damage’ in their eyes. The victims of genocide in Darfur are invisible, as are all those dying from disease and starvation throughout the world. I don’t understand why one life is considered more valuable than another. I never will. I never want to.

May God / Allah / YHWH / the Creator / Waheguru / the One have mercy on us and awaken our souls.
