A synopsis liberal thought:
“Personally, I am pro-choice. It is the woman’s/couple’s decision.”
“The man does have a say, sometimes."
**
“[A] plot to destroy a race of people or impede on civil liberties should become everyone’s problem.”
“As citizens of the world, we should all do something to protect the civil liberties of people.”
“Until they start lining up women and forcing them to have abortions, [abortion] is not a social issue.”
“Slavery was a social issue, abortion is a personal issue.”
**
“I believe [the abortion debate] is like being for/against an economic policy or drug policy.”
“Abortion is not an economic policy, but of personal choice.”
**
“I have no say over the choice someone makes for themselves, whether I agree or not.”
“I totally am 100% against abortion as a method of birth control.”
“Getting preggo and having abortion after abortion is wrong.”
**
“I believe [life] is arbitrary.”
“[A]ny and all life is valuable.”
“I will say, [abortion] may be the taking of an innocent life.”
“I will concede to the definition of life.”
**
“[The baby] is not apart of [a woman’s] body at birth, when the cord is cut.”
“In a way, children are property.”
**
“Isn’t this all relative?
“[R]ight and wrong is different for everyone.”
**
“The state/feds would have to take some responsibility [for unwanted children] if abortions were made illegal.”
**
Liberalism is a mental disorder…like it or not.
END OF PART 7, and article.
P.S.
I am exited to read the comments and am appreciative of the responses to these seven articles, both form those who agree and disagree with my points, especially those new to my blog. It is my hope that my arguments have struck a cord with people and that perhaps, at best, I have changed someone's mind about abortion through logic and reasoning.
P.S.S
J, as I have referred to him in my articles, is a long-time friend. I have a great deal of respect for him and consider him to be a genuinely good person. I also have great respect for his mother (a person I hope to share with all of you via a blog entry, shortly), a walking inspiration and perfect example of what hard work, dedication, self-sacrifice, and faith can accomplish in this wonderful country. However, I happen to think his stance on abortion is completely misguided. We have not let this agreement interfere with our friendship in the slightest and my hope is that I did not make him look stupid, merely ill-informed and, quite simply...wrong. I encourage you to argue the pro-life position in a well-thought-out, rational manner, as I hope I have, as our wonderful country allows us.
Thank you,
