One thing to remember when abortion supporters speak of abortion

Just been browsing through an old post. Some things are worth repeating!

When proponents of legal abortion talk about the realities of abortion, they talk about the circumstances that lead women to choose abortion: the desire to complete one's education, poverty, bad relationship, etc.

But that's the reality of a woman's decision. That's not abortion itself.

Proponents of legalized abortion almost never confront the reality of the act of abortion, and especially not the reality of the unborn child.

In the minds of proponents of legalized abortion, when we debate abortion, we're debating about a right-- an abstract concept. We're debating over the women and their lives. That is what they are entirely focused on.

They almost never focus on the day-to-day medical realities of the procedure that is proposed as the source of women's advancement.
