A Question
I have a question for all those out there who read this blog and who are pro choice. This is not a trick question, meant to trap anyone. Nor is it said in a spirit of beligerence. I am genuinely asking, with all reverence and respect. I have many, many questions, but I'll start with this one.
A woman gets pregnant. She's very young - only 17 - and has no family. She's already working hard to care for herself and is barely making ends meet as it is. The thought of providing for another mouth is terrifying to her. She has much life left to live and sees that she will lose out on much if she has this child. So she decides, for her comfort and convenience, to stop her daughter's heart. She contacts a local Planned Parenthood and has an abortion.
A woman has a child. She's very young - only 17 - and has no family. She works hard to care for her child, but one job after another just can't keep up with the financial demands of even a small family. She comes home exhausted and is unable to really provide for her child physically or emotionally. After only a year, she realizes everything she's lost. The fun she can't have, the way her whole life now is tied down by this being. So she decides, for her comfort and convenience, to stop her daughter's heart. So, as gently as possible one night while her 10 month old sleeps, she smothers her with a pillow.
Why is one right and other wrong?

Excellent point Amber, the sad truth is there is no difference. The primary defense that the left uses is that a fetus is not a life until its actually out and walking around. I often ask liberals a simple question that usually leads to a second; I first ask, "What is your definition of murder?" Often times they will respond along the lines of "ending a life, especially an innocent one that otherwise would go on." I then ask, "Ok, well then what is the difference between that and an abortion?" That's when the debate changes, they contest that it's not life. I will then ask what defines life? A living breathing carbon based thing that has a heartbeat? Yes? Well then again I ask, how is murder different than an abortion?
That's when they usually walk away to head into the (Un)Planned Parenthood Clinic.
