Uncle Ebenezer

OK ... this is far too hard for me to stomach - talk about the opposite end of the spectrum to the pro-lifers. Unbelievable.

Would you like me to change the title of this thread to 'After birth murders'?

Unfreakin'believable.

Uncle Ebenezer

It would be a more accurate term, I believe. Maybe you could add quote marks for me?

Jerseygirl

Your wish is my command.

Uncle Ebenezer

(on the grounds this should remain a serious thread, at least for a while.)

CelticRover

Glenn Beck?

No thanks, I'm trying to give him up.

Leslie

OMG.

Why are you reading that shite?

Uncle Ebenezer

Because I saw a link to it. Why should I not?

Sally Redux

Although I am pro-choice, from a philosophical point of view this makes sense:

The second we allow ourselves to become the arbiters of who is human and who isn’t, this is the calamitous yet inevitable end. Once you say all human life is not sacred, the rest is just drawing random lines in the sand.

Uncle Ebenezer

That, from the Catholic church, no less.

Leslie

Because it is crap.

Uncle Ebenezer

Why is it "crap"? Is it factually incorrect, or do you just not approve of the source?

SultanOfSwing

One hopes that it is factually incorrect, to be quite honest.

I can't believe the sense of flippancy I got out of that article. There is a vast, vast difference between terminating a pregnancy in utero at less than 20 weeks along and the mother giving birth to a baby and then (lets not muck about) killing that baby. Then there was that clap-trap about adoption being less desirable. The mind boggles.

Uncle Ebenezer

Flippancy is the trademark of these elitists. The idea that you should be able to kill a baby, on the grounds that it would be financially more desirable for the family?!! These people have no conscience, if an argument goes against their pure ethics or logic.
