I say murder, you say abortion
Here is a side of the abortion issue I never considered before: the money side. Abortion is, according to Alicia Colon, a billion dollar a year industry. “Ever wonder why those who formerly opposed abortion, such as Vice President Gore and the Reverend Jesse Jackson, switched positions?” she asks. That pretty well sums up why many politicians and activists who understand abortion ends a human life nevertheless support the atrocious practice.
But the core of Colon’s column discusses a forum on the subject of “What’s So Bad About Abortion?” Gee, I don’t know. You tell me what’s so bad about having a knife stuck in the back of your head and having your brains sucked out. If you can tell me what’s so bad about that then I can explain what’s so bad about abortion. But for those who want to buy “I had an abortion” tee shirts the slaughter of unborn life is a sacred right to be practiced and preached as much as possible.
But here’s the thing/propaganda/lie. It’s not abortion. It’s “a woman’s right to choose.” It’s not ending a human life. It’s the “me” culture of doing your own thing. It’s not slaughtering your own child. It’s not having to be accountable for your actions. It’s not murder. It’s claiming an unborn baby is not human– sort of like the way the Nazi’s convinced themselves that the Jews were not human.
The piece is brilliant but the Left’s ability to call a thing something different that what it is- hiding the truth behind a clever turn of phrase – explains their success in fooling much of the American public and why many just won’t understand Colon’s position. I’ve even had people argue with me that abortion can’t be murder because it is legal. This would be laughable were it not so serious a subject. I recall to mind that what Hitler did in Germany was “legal” according to German “law.” These “laws” were passed by the Nazi’s but the holocaust was not only murder but mass-murder (“legal” or not). But Jews were not considered human and the laws of Germany allowed the “final solution” so – poof – instant, guilt-free innocence.
Sadly, the Left will go right on believing such garbage concerning its own holocaust.

So, don’t have an abortion yourself, and don’t presume to make that decision for others. It’s pretty simple.

I understand perfectly. You don’t want to be forced to do things you don’t want to do. Remarkably, there are pregnant women who feel the same way… and the ramifications are huge when an unwanted child appears, often to a person who is incapable of supporting or nurturing that child. What’s pretty simple is that there cannot be a policy that forces women to have unwanted children.
I’m sorry you don’t understand. I’m even more concerned that you think
murder is “pretty simple.”
But I suppose you’re all for Social Security, Welfare, and all the rest of
the things that government forces upon me by making me pay for them
through taxes. But I can’t “just not pay my taxes.” Which, clearly,
would not be nearly as bad as slaughtering an unborn child.
Sincerely,
Jeff
