Brushfire of Freedom
Ram Rants
Well, we wouldn’t be much of a Conservative site if we didn’t step into the abortion debate now and again. It’s not a popular subject with Liberals or Conservatives, but it is constantly a topic of discussion in the media and elsewhere. It usually comes up whenever there is a Supreme Court appointment to be made by a sitting President. It’s not supposed to be a litmus test, but it often is used as one, at least when the judge is Conservative.
Liberals don’t like to talk about abortion because they are on the wrong side of the issue, at least from the perspective of the general public. It’s one of the reasons why they call themselves “Pro Choice”. They’re not supporting “choice”, they are supporting abortion on demand as a method of birth control. The majority of sex acts in this country are voluntary. Both people involved have chosen to have sex. That is a choice, but that is not what liberals are talking about. They are talking about the consequences of the first choice, to violently end the life of a newly conceived child. They are talking about killing babies. Not just in some mythical “pre-life” stage, but any time up to, and if you’re Obama, after their birth. Yes, Obama supports killing new born babies if those children had the bad taste to survive the abortionists knife. He’s on record three times voting against bills that would have prevented killing abortion survivors, thus he supports killing babies. He is the “baby killer” that John Kerry imagined in Vietnam.
Liberals call themselves pro choice because “baby killer” does not sound all that pleasant. They take the position that the woman should be the master of her body and as such should have the option to kill the baby inside her if she so chooses. There’s a big problem with this argument. If you are a woman and you choose to have sex with a man, unprotected, then you have chosen to take the chance of getting pregnant. Hey, it’s your body, you chose. But if you do conceive, it’s not just your body, it’s also partly his body, and also the body of an unborn child. So, the pro abortion crowd believes that a woman should have the right to choose not only for herself, but also for the father and for the child. This flies in the face of, “...life, liberty...” and all that corny American stuff. That’s one reason why Conservatives think pro-abortionists are wrong in their arguments. That, and because pro abortionists frequently kill babies.
Conservatives don’t like to talk about abortion because they feel like they are on the wrong side of the argument, even though most Americans oppose abortion. They have their friends in the State Run Media to thank for this misconception. They know that a life, especially one as innocent as an unborn child, should be protected. They know that the child has no choice, it is still too immature to even understand the concept. An unborn child is at the mercy of its mother. The mother made her choice when she had sex with the future dad. The child is a result of that choice, not a new choice to be made.
Want an analogy? Next time you get caught speeding, try to convince the cop that you’ve chosen not to take the ticket. I’m sure he will honor your right to choose. The speeding ticket is the occasional result of your choice to break the law by exceeding the speed limit, just as a child is the occasional result of the choice of two people to have unprotected sex. Try aborting the speeding ticket. Best of luck with that.
So, abortion is morally wrong because it destroys an innocent life. If you are Conservative, you are now challenged on the death penalty. After all, you will be told, killing is killing. How can you stand against abortion and for the death penalty? The answer is simple. How many pre-born mass murderers have there been? The answer is zero. Abortion destroys an innocent life. It does not take the life of someone who has been convicted in a court of law of the heinous crime of murder. Abortion eliminates the possibility of new life, and steals the hope of the future. It not only impacts the child but the doctor, the mother, and the father. Those who support it call it pro choice because “pro death” does not make them feel too good. Abortion was a tool of the Nazi’s, it has been recommended as a method of controlling a human breed, and it stems from the ill-conceived and unproven theory of evolution as the origin of the species. It is telling that all those who support abortion have survived it. So why would those that have the right to live deny that same right to an unborn child? I guess that is their choice.
