Abortion, Kerry? Yes or no?
Abortion is a nasty part of our lives,whether you support the right or not. The problem with the abortion debate is that one side presents reason, and the other emotion, and neither side is particularly interested in trying to understand the other.
If you support a "right to choose" (a handy euphemism for killing a fetus), and you believe that human life begins at birth, then I can understand the support for abortion. I think this view of life is naive and wishful thinking, but not necessarily despicable. However, John Kerry believes life begins at conception, yet supports a "right to choose". This position is despicable as it is tantamount to saying you support infanticide. If you accept even a decent possibility that a fetus is a human life, then it is immoral under the laws of man (note man, not god) to terminate the fetus.
In my view, if the pro-abortion lobby can prove beyond reasonable doubt (the standard for accused murderers should be good enough for the possible protection of children), medically and scientifically, when life begins, I'd support abortions all day long before that stage of development is reached. If they can't (and they can't, yet) then we should err on the side of caution. As with accused murderers, we should be biased toward life until the other side is able to prove its case.
In large part, the left is all too eager to stop the execution of convicted child murderers, yet even more eager to protect the right of women to kill their fetus. If women want the right to choose, how about the right to choose not to engage in activities that lead to pregnancy? And if you are concerned about rape, or the life of the mother, then that sounds like a better place to start the debate.
