However, it was you who previously said, speaking as a proud liberal, that people had the "undisputed right" to choose abortion. > It was you who then turned around and said that "female" feticide is abhorrent because you were the mother of a baby girl. Huh? This would mean, in your logic, that "male" feticide or random feticide is "undisputed" and perfectly acceptable. > You cannot have it both ways, supporting "undisputed" feticide, then cringing when abortion-happy Indians and Chinese use this "undisputed" right to supposedly achieve other more heinous social ends. > I do not use the term abortion-happy lightly either - the proof is in the wholesale and brutal infanticide of millions of unborn each year in a blatant attempt at population control at the convenience of the parents and at the expense of the unborn. > You may pretend from your own way of thinking that each life is flushed after painful consideration. The sheer numbers would contradict your theory. > The liberal feminists in America and elsewhere call it "choice", but their choice is death and they run huge abortion clinics. It has never occurred to them to run huge adoption centers, like the conservative Christians and Mother Theresa's nuns do, where the other "choice" of life and adoption, to the hundreds of thousands of couples unable to conceive, can be considered and is encouraged. > Do the atheists/agnostics run huge adoption centers in an attempt to save innocent lives? Perhaps they do, but I think they represent the "unviable tissue mass" crowd. But I digress. > The liberal feminists in America scoff when conservatives want sexual education to begin with teaching an obvious "unprovisional" scientific truth: that the only certain way to avoid conception is through abstinence. It works 100% of the time, no matter what Cornel may say. > They want to pretend the other methods are "safe" - they actually have the gall to call the other methods, none of which are "safe", "safe sex". They may be "safer", but we all know they are not "safe". This is a blatant falsehood that millions of people find out the hard way - then choose abortion because it is so much more convenient and less embarrassing than adoption. >
