Gee, do you think the fact that there's a defenseless, innocent human
life in there have anything to do with it?  Women, and men, DO NOT
have total freedom in a civilized society to do whatever the hell they
want with their bodies.  Prostitution is illegal. Use of certain drugs
are illegal. And if polls are to believed, MOST Americans don't
believe that abortions should be allowed on demand, any time, for any
reason.  Why?  Because NO ONE knows exactly when a human fetus becomes
a human being.  Proborts claim that since no one knows, it must be ok
to kill it...pro-lifers want to err on the side of the unborn.  I
happen to think there probably are instances where, for medical
reasons, an abortion is warranted to save the life of the mother...but
those abortions are extremely rare.  The vast majority of abortions in
the US are done on perfectly healthy mothers with perfectly healthy
fetuses...i.e., abortion used as birth control.  There is something
extremely unsettling about that, imho.  We're supposed to raise
children to respect life, right? We want them to NOT be violent
towards others, kill, rape, etc...? Yet we as a nation allow women to
suck the contents of a developing human life out of their wombs for no
other reason than they don't want it.  And that my friend, in a
civilized society, *IS* bewildering.
