Pro-Abortion author: “pro-life” is offensive

Pro-Abortion author Leslie Cannold says:

“I find the term “pro-life” so offensive that I cannot use it without feeling angry: offensive because of its purposeful and highly inaccurate suggestion that those on the opposite side of the argument are enthusiastic supporters of – or “pro-” death.

Throughout the book I use the terms “pro-choice” and “anti-choice” which I think give a fair description of each side’s position: either in favor of or opposed to women having the freedom to choose abortion.”

Woman kill their babies “because they care”

Pro-Choice activist Rene Denfeld wrote the following in her introduction to a book that had interviews with post-abortion women. Denfield argues that the women who told their stories in the book aborted out of love for their “fetuses”:

“The women…were not flippant or selfish about their choice.…

They believed in family planning. They wanted their children to enter a family that was ready for them. They wanted their children to be loved and well cared for. They knew parenting is hard work and a serious responsibility. And they felt their decision was not just best for themselves, but for their future children.

In short, women who abort are not only making a moral choice, they are often making a good moral choice.

As Cannold writes, women kill their fetuses because they care.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden admits life begins at conception

Although former Vice President Biden always voted in favor of abortion, he admitted in an interview that he knew human life begins at conception. According to an article in The National Review: 

“I’m prepared to accept that at the moment of conception there’s human life and being, but I am not prepared to say that to other God-fearing [and] non-God-fearing people that have a different view. Abortion is always wrong.

All the principles of my faith, [which] I make no excuse for attempting to live up to – I don’t all the time. But I’m not prepared to impose doctrine that I’m prepared to accept on the rest of [the country].”

Joel Gehrke “Joe Biden: “Abortion Is Always Wrong” National Review September 22, 2015

If “there is a human being at conception”, abortion is killing that human being. Biden is therefore admitting that he supports killing human beings.

Pro-Abortion activist Judith Arcana: the child is irrelevant

An interviewer asked pro-abortion activist Judith Arcana whether or not showing pictures of starving children is a good tactic to argue for legalized abortion. (the idea is to convey that there are many starving children in the world and abortion would prevent that.)

Arcana replied:

“Surely the outcome of that approach is to make the case less woman-centered. Surely the child is really irrelevant to the issue.”

Post-Abortion woman: I aborted for my child’s sake, it was humane

A woman named Charity explains why she had an abortion:

“My decision to have an abortion was a decision I made to care for the child that was within me. To adopt a child would be more cruel to me than just ending it, because it’s giving the child no help. It saying “Well, it’s not my problem.”

My decision to abort will affect my child in a humane manner, because I’ve got my child’s interests at heart. That’s why I decided to terminate, for that child’s sake.”

Leslie Cannold The Abortion Myth (Middletown, Connecticut: Wesleyan University Press, 1998) xviii

This is what she did to her preborn baby. Is this really humane? Is this better then giving the baby to a loving adoptive home?

Pro-Choice activist condemns athlete’s abortion

Gillian, who is pro-choice, when asked how she feels about an athlete who gets pregnant to enhance her performance, then aborts.

In this scenario, the athlete would deliberately become pregnant for the hormonal boost, with the intention of aborting after the athletic event.

[When you abort] “you’re thinking of yourself and you’re thinking about the baby.. It’s not a cold decision.

But getting pregnant in order to kill the baby! Doing it intentionally just doesn’t seem right. Having a baby to kill it, there’s no you in that. You’re just setting out to murder, [to commit] premeditated murder.”

Leslie Cannold The Abortion Myth (Middletown, Connecticut: Wesleyan University Press, 1998) xx

This pro-choicer seems to admit that abortion is the killing of a human being- murder. She excuses abortions on women who are pregnant accidentally but calls it “murder” when the abortion is intended before the pregnancy. What is the difference to the babies?

Pro-Choice author supports abortion as birth control

In her book, pro-choice author and Christian theologian Beverly Wildung Harrison  writes:

“Abortion is and always has been a means of birth control… And I believe we must continue to assert that, given the limits of birth control technology, it will remain the birth control method of last resort for many women, whether or not it is legal and/or safe. In fact, for many women it is the most reliable, and, at least when used infrequently, it is safe.”

Reverend opposes abortion law, calls pro-life view extreme

A clergyman spoke out against a law restricting abortion by saying:

“Our moral imperative is to commit ourselves to the care of the born.… We should create laws that promote the common good and not narrow, extreme political and religious ideologies.”

Rev. Patrick Hurley, president of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado and retired pastor Presbyterian Church, Pueblo

Wendy Norris “Religious Leaders in Colorado Respond to the Egg-As-Person AmendmentRh Reality Check June 2, 2008

Is it a “narrow, extreme political and religious ideology” to oppose this?

Abortion supporter: God has spoken on abortion

Pro-Abortion activist Henry Piper argues that God allows abortion. He says because of the Fall in the Garden of Eden, abortion is permissible

“The basic idea of an anti-abortionist is that when an abortion is performed, we are going against God’s will….God has already decided. When he expelled mankind from the Garden of Eden, he said the woman would have responsibility for childbirth.

The Lord has spoken.”

Pro-choice activist blames pro-lifer for tripping

A pro-choice activist writes about how much she hates pro-life people. She says:

“Abortion is Murder” his sign said. I was looking at that sign and thinking about the real murders that happened recently at abortion clinics when I stepped off the curb and the concrete rose up to meet me.

“Are you all right?” someone asked me as I walked along cradling my arm. “Yeah,” I said. “I was looking at that abortion protester when I fell,” I tried to explain. “I blame him; I hate them now more than ever.”
