Indeed, this is very well said and simply put. The pro life movement seeks to undermine the role of women in deciding how and when they will bring children into the world. It is a bizarre rationilzation which causes people to arbitrarily define the unborn as "innocent" and those who are killed outside of the womb (in wartime especially) as arbitrarily "guilty." These are not the gleanings of people close to Divinity, but deeply imersed in their own ignorance.

It is very unfortunate that citzens of this once great nation have been stuck in the misleading quagmire of pro life activism. This is an issue of respect and autonomy, which the pro life movement has not even begun to account for or, I suspect, has the itellect or historical context by which to offer sensible and reasonable debate. There is a lot of noise, not sense and reason. We are a country founded by the rule of law. Those who would profess to respect life so much as to kill are sociopaths and do not even live up to the values they pretend to fight for. "Judge not or you shall be judged thou hypocrite"

I agree. These who 'kill are sociopaths and do not even live up to the values they pretend to fight for'. All who kill or support those that do should be held accountable. I am 'Pro-Choice' at conception. I do recognize that it is an extremely difficult decision for a mother and father to decide to take the life of their baby. Perhaps if adoption was the price and easy of attaining as an abortion, this wouldn't be an issue. If harming a child is repulsive to most, why isn't it when that child is growing in the womb?
The idea that a mother makes choices for her children and that abortion is just another possible choice is a false premise in defense of abortion. The idea that a mother can decide that killing her child is reasonable is insane and immoral. This argument (if it were valid) legitimizes the murder of another Caylee Anthony, as well as infanticide, gendercide, genocide, and eventually eldercide in the form of "mercy killing". From a purely secular perspective, is devaluing human life at any stage reasonable? Hitler reasoned that the Jew was "sub-human" and white slave owners did the same thing.
Margaret Sanger, pen-pal to Hitler and founder of Planned Parenthood, took a similar position, in defense of abortion: the "untermenschen and 'human weeds'" are befouling the earth with their "reckless and irresponsible swarming and spawning".
We in the US have allowed so-called reason to lead us into a wholesale warfare and slaughter of a whole class of human beings: the unborn. Our government, or any government, which does not or is not able to protect the most defenseless of it citizens or guests to its country, is illegitimate and worthy of demise. It is time to clean house, fire all our politicians, and take another look at the direction of our country. Do we stand for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for ALL, or only for those who vote, pay taxes, complain, and have the loudest voices?
God Bless America and help it see the error of its ways.
