If you want to take a glimpse into the mind of people who think it's OK to murder babies by cutting them apart in their mother's wombs, read the following article and see if you can spot the errors of their thinking.
These are not great times for choice in America. These are not great times to be a woman in America.
At least, not if you are a woman who believes that your body is your own. (Yes, but you are killing someone else's body when you murder a baby)
The Trump administration may be the most fervently anti-abortion since Reagan. (Yea!!! Trump doesn't like that it's legal to kill babies and have the government pay for a lot of it)
This will likely come as a surprise to every man who, prior to Trump’s election, assured me, “don’t worry, he’s really a democrat! He’s not going to do anything about abortion!”
It seems you guys were wrong. (Yep! Leftists seem to be wrong a lot these days!)
Trump has reinstated the global gag rule, preventing funding for overseas reproductive health organizations that offer abortion related services. Closer to home, Trump signed a bill on April 13 that allows states to cut off funding from organizations like Planned Parenthood that provide abortions. He has suggested that federal funding could continue to go to the women’s health organization only if they stopped performing abortions. (sounds like an awesome idea!)
All of this falls under the banner of a “pro-life” agenda.
Indeed, Vice President Mike Pence and counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway, both spoke enthusiastically at the March for Life. There, the Vice President proclaimed, “We will not rest until we restore a culture of life in America.”
Perhaps when people enact these laws, they imagine what a world with more restrictive abortion rights—or a “culture of life”—looks like. I do not think these people are evil. I suspect they have a vision of a world that is flawed. I think when they imagine that world of outlawed abortions, they imagine a world full of adorable, bouncing babies. They imagine happy mothers, and fathers who are, unexpectedly, delighted and doting fathers.
That is not reality.
"The U.S. is a place where having a baby means risking your own life, as our Maternal Mortal Rate is the highest in the developed world."
It’s not hard to see what a pro-life world looks like. It looks like a world with a lot of dead women in it. (So leftists prefer a world with 100-fold more dead babies in it?)
El Salvador has a “culture of life.” There, abortion is banned for any reason. Estimates from the Ministry of Health put the number of illegal abortions performed at 19,290 between 2005 and 2008. However, it’s difficult to trace illegal activity properly, so some other estimates claim this is closer to the annual average. We do know, from a 2011 study by the World Health Organization that 11 percent of the women undergoing these illegal abortions die. That is, at the bare minimum, over 2,000 women.
Amnesty International reports that suicide now accounts for 57 percent of deaths of pregnant females ages 10-19 in El Salvador. Because in an attempt to terminate their pregnancies, women are “ingesting rat poison or other pesticides, and thrusting knitting needles, pieces of wood and other sharp objects into the cervix.” (It would appear that the women of El Salvador are not real bright)
It was not so long ago that women in the United States were in a position similar to the one women in El Salvador find themselves in today.
Before the passage of Roe. Vs. Wade in 1973, it’s estimated that between 250 and 8,000 American women were dying per year of illegal abortions. (And leftists would prefer to trade 1,000,000 dead babies for 250 dead woman? That seems to be an awful trade off!)
Today, in the United States, women experience complications from safe, legal abortion less than one percent of the time. And whether or not anyone talks about it, it’s a common medical procedure—30 percent of women in the U.S. have had a safe, legal abortion.

In the mind of the leftist, killing 1,000,000+ babies per year is an equal trade for saving 250 to 8000 women who may die after choosing risky abortion procedures.
If 30% of women in the USA have had a legal abortion, clearly they are engaging in risky behavior because they know their fall-back plan is to LEGALLY kill the baby, pay their $500 cash move on with their lives.
If young women TODAY started hearing the horror stories that happened to women who illegally killed their babies, maybe a switch would go off in their heads that the fear of pregnancy would be a good reason to NOT screw some boy who they barely know.
Is that going to happen? Probably not.
In the hyper-sexualized society that we have created, I'm going to guess that people are going to start having sex at an ever younger age....which will make the secularists scream even louder for legalized baby killing, and will most likely demand that all tax payers pay for it!
However, can you think of any other situation where an innocent person gets killed because of someone else's behavior?....and society approves of it?
I can't.
Killing babies is wrong. Once you start with that truth....every reason that leftists come up to legally kill babies, sounds really lame. And every reason you give to help stop the killing of babies starts to make a whole lot of sense.
Psalm 139
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
