I now understand the pro-abortion/pro-choi ce stance

It took a while, but now I get it and I want to share my thoughts. See what you think.

OK, I've always had an problem understanding how a person can not realize that abortion is in fact killing an innocent human being. Unborn to be sure, but a human being. It finally dawned on me me reading a comment from a woman who'd seen Obvious Child, and it all just clicked.

She says she was so happy that abortion could be shown as a positive, well thought out decision. She recounted that she was essentially forced to carry a baby to term when she was ill equipped to be a mother, and immediately gave the baby up for adoption (this was before Rowe v Wade). She just wished that safe and legal abortion would have been available in her day.

So here's a woman, who acknowledged that she brought a REAL human being in to the world, living and breathing (that is, didn't even hide behind the whole, "oh it's just a bunch of cells" line), and she casually says she wished she could have just done away with this kid without skipping a beat. Her son's life is soooo insignificant to her, that she doesn't even see this as a moral issue at all. Just an issue of convenience. She didn't want to be a mom at the time, and therefore the kid had to die.

So here's my epiphany in all this: Pro-abortion people are just completely desensitized. They see this as nothing but a political issue, rather than right/wrong or life/death. They see this as, being pro-life is a conservative thing, and they'd rather burn to death on a bed of hot coal than be seen as someone who might possibly be associated with evil-doers and crazies like Bush, Reagan, or vile racists/bigots like Rush Limbaugh.

As far as they're concerned, taking this human life (and they refuse to acknowledge that it's life, or don't care) is a right to be protected at all costs. The pro-abortion crowd talks about rape and incest as if it's the main reason to keep abortion legal. The reality is rape/incest make up only a miniscule percentage of those seeking abortion. The reality is reflected in this movie. A healthy woman gets pregnant of consensual sex (in this case, a one night stand), decides it would inconvenience her life, so the kid's gotta go.

Ironically, it's typical that these same pro-abortion people would be the first in line again the death penalty. They're fine taking an innocent life, but don't you dare take the life of a violent murderer. You have your priorities screwed up, people.

Like it or not, you ARE in fact taking an innocent life who has done nothing wrong. If you're not ready to be a mom, then either DON'T HAVE SEX, or use a condom/birth control..etc. If you DO get pregnant after using protection, then you need to face one of the consequences of having sex---a human being.
