Abortion is offensive

At what point do we call genocide what it is? At what point do we stop using semantics like “choice” and look in the mirror and ask ourselves if eradicating a generation of our young is really the answer to anything?

Also – at what point do we ask those who are hardline pro-lifers, are you ready to provide real support for women? Services for students who give birth, comprehensive heath care and adoption services, and dead beat dad laws with some real teeth. At that point, we can stop pretending that abortion is only a women’s issue and start to erase this disgusting, dehumanizing idea.

Gosh. And I was hoping for the top ten of 2009. I assumed this post’s title was the name of some indie album.

Just hoping to engineer some discussion. It was a rather halfway post.

Ryan, you know my thoughts on this subject. However, I could not agree more with your second paragraph. Well said.

That’s my problem with getting lumped in with the traditional pro-life crowd…seems like most of them like to pretend pregnancies just happen in a vacuum, and that you can ever lessen abortions without giving pregnant women the chance to still continue school and work.
