Some shallow thinkers claim a fetus is not a person. What else could it be?
At it’s base abortion is an absence of responsibility for personal behavior.
At a bare minimum people should not receive abortions with the expense passed on to others.
If abortions cost $1000 in cash up front you would see less of them.
Yes, you can get blood out of a turnip, the IRS does it every dam day.
Coat hangers in alleys?
So what?
There will always be misfits of society, so letting them victimize themselves causes less strain on the rest of us.

The height of selfishness and a window into the nature of modern females. Maternal instinct? Only if doing so raises her level of power. A baby to these women is an object of achievement and rank, so killing one is justified if the child would interfere with her progress on the ladder of success – success as viewed by other females and measured by their approval. Nothing is more important than her satisfaction.
Why do women shriek during incidents of fear or violence? It is an old-brain response to danger, a call for help. Also, like a coyote, to bring members of the pack in for a kill. The old brain in modern females, because there are other females nurturing her greed, has taken a place high above the civilized responses and child-rearing instinct we found in previous generations. Those instincts and responses were responsible for furthering societal success and allowed for improving life in general for generations past. But today atavism in female behavior only succeeds in making the women with the shrillest shriek an empty, soulless shell.

I have to admit that I really like “making the woman with the shrillest shriek an empty, soulless shell.”
Vanderleum, the problem is that these people do have a soul.
Enoch was a prophet who lived in the days before the flood (Gen. 5:22-24; Heb. 11:5; Jude 1:14-15). His book is quoted in the book of Jude (Jude 1:14-15 is quoting 1Enoch 1:9). Enoch speaks of the last days saying:
And in those days the women shall become pregnant
and abort their babies
And cast them out from their midst
Yea, they shall abandon their children (that are still) sucklings,
and not return to them,
And shall have no pity on their beloved ones.
(1Enoch 99:5)
The original Hebrew of the Book of Enoch has not survived, and this passage has survived only in the Ancient Ethiopic version. In the Ethiopic the word for “abort” here is MASIT a verb meaning “to pluck or tear out”; “to violently remove”; “to carry off” or “to rob”. Clearly this passage speaks of women aborting their babies in the last days.
A couple of days ago my teen daughter and I were in the SUV at Wendy’s in the city. A car pulled up and parked to our front, and debauched 2 urbanite femmes, who went into the restaurant. I was trying to decide if they were really ugly hookers, and if the belly fat one smoking the cigarette was pregnant or just down in the front. They were a sight; then I saw their car dashboard! HFS!! On the dash was a life size purple fetus rubber doll. A fetus on the dashboard. A rubber fetus.
SJWs will stick the whole issue right in your face. Aborting is a belief, a doctrine, a privilege, a right, and now, it is low art.
Our beliefs on life vs abortion are retro, ludditian, ossified and stale, according to the haggy left. It is no longer an argument. It is now a talisman.

At least we haven’t got to the point where we start selling the body parts of the aborted babies…now THAT would be really wicked.

From the video clip, due to doctor error the Australian twin aborted was the ‘wrong’ one.
Will the ‘right’ one, surviving, be grateful?
Is the ‘wrong’ one’s spirit pleased that it served it’s sibling in this ultimate way?
How many of the millions of murdered civilians in genocides – Armenians, Kulaks, Jews, Roma, Chinese, .. were rightfully or wrongfully exterminated?
Our language has been so debased, meanings warped, that it’s difficult to think and breathe.

Dan, that’s not fair. Not after having given 50 years of my life to the care of man and his four children, will I stand for that. And, I am not unusual.
As a parent I do not know what I could possibly say to my child when they discovered that we aborted their twin. I also (maybe because I’m 75 now and have dear grandchildren and great grandchildren) do not know if I could ever sleep again knowing I had aborted a twin. I think I would be permanently mentally harmed by that act from which I would never recover. I do recognize that when I was 20 I didn’t really realize this, just as there was so much else in life I didn’t really understand. But now when I hold my little grandchildren and they are beautiful, intelligent, sentient human beings with feeling and a future and so much promise, I’m just not sure I could live with myself if I had aborted one of my children.
But what really stunned me watching the victory rallies in Ireland over the abortion vote, was the joy and outright happiness that now it was legal to kill babies. I could have wrapped my head around a solemn acknowledgement that they won what they wanted. But celebration and joy?? I don’t get it. Have they never held a baby? taken care of a toddler? had a child graduate from High school? Had a child get married and then give you grandchildren? I am so sad over this issue.

“But what really stunned me watching the victory rallies in Ireland over the abortion vote, was the joy and outright happiness that now it was legal to kill babies.”
I think it was Brendan Behan who said that if the Irish ceased being Catholic, they wouldn’t become good little Protestants. They’d be rip-roaring pagans. That appears to be the case. While the church sex abuse scandals certainly significantly damaged Irish Catholicism, I found that back during the Celtic Tiger boom that the Irish, prosperous for the first time in centuries, were eager to prove that they could be just as “sophisticated” as the Continentals. Well, “sophistication” in today’s world means casting aside grandma’s silly old religion and moral values and adopting fashionable progressive ones, which include celebrating abortion. That’s what I think the celebration was about.
Of course, grandma’s silly old religion helped unite Irish Catholics and fortify them during centuries of oppression, just as the Church did in Poland. So what they are celebrating is basically the removal of their backbones. I hope and pray that Poland, the last remaining bastion of Catholicism in the West, remains Catholic.
On a personal note, my identical twin died shortly after we were born and, as an only child, I have always keenly felt the loss. The idea that mothers are selectively aborting one of a set of twins simply horrifies me.
JackJune 1, 2018, 7:55 AM
There are great things about the human race but I think it is much sicker than it is well and it is morphing into souls whose only final residence can be Hell. And, those affected truly seem to want to embrace that judgement.
This death cult operates on all ends of the spectrum. There are those who love abortion, there are groups who advocate the destruction of all ages and genders by grotesque sexual perversion, drug and alcohol abuse and a rejection of all that is good and on the far end are found those who advocate and support euthanasia for the elderly and affirm.
But take heart. God’s word says these are the beginnings of the birth pangs and that it will get much, much worse; so much so that the return of Jesus…a last resort kind of thing….will be the only event that will save anyone.
ghostsniperJune 1, 2018, 11:13 AM
Since abortion is an ultimate solution for the lack of personal responsibility it is also the elimination of passing that responsibility to others that already have their own responsibilities to take care of.
Is this blaming the acorn for the tree?
Maureen RiceJune 1, 2018, 6:22 PM
The matter-of-fact manner in which this man (who is he?) tells this is heartbreaking. He simply states facts. My grandmother told me a legend that Ireland would sink into the sea 7 yrs before the the end of the world. To spare His faithful people that awesome and awful day.
Who could believe that the sea would be one of blood….
Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks.
placed solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf, or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way.
straying planets,
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles –
and rocky sure-foot trails.
The worlds like an endless
four-dimensional
Game of Go.
ants and pebbles
In the thin loam, each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight
Crystal and sediment linked hot
all change, in thoughts,
As well as things.

The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
from Preludes
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.

Song of Myself
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
