Professor: “The infant is not fully human”

Of course, an infant is not fully human…. I have little sympathy with the idea that infanticide is just another form of murder. Persons who are already functionally persons in the full sense have more important rights even than infants.

Dr. Charles Hartshorne of the University of Texas at Austin

Charles Hartshorne, “Concerning Abortion: An Attempt at a Rational View,” Christian Century, 21 January, 1981, 42-5

Does this follow naturally from the pro-choice position that preborn babies are alive but not “persons”?

Pro-choice group President: abortion terminates human life

Frances Kissling, president of Catholics for Choice:

“When people hear us say abortion is just another medical procedure, they react with shock. Abortion is not like having your tooth pulled or having your appendix out. It involves the termination of an early form of human life. That deserves some gravitas.”

Quoted in Kate Pickert “What Choice?” Time Jan. 14, 2013

Pro-choice leader: 50% of the population don’t want to associate with us

“The established pro-choice position–which essentially is: abortion should be legal, a private matter between a woman and her doctor, with no restriction or regulation beyond what is absolutely necessary to protect the woman’s health–makes 50% of the population extremely uncomfortable and unwilling to associate with us,”

Frances Kissling, a longtime abortion-rights advocate and former president of Catholics for Choice.

Planned Parenthood: banning late term abortion is “cruel”

This is old but I just stumbled across it. Planned Parenthood put out a tweet calling banning late term abortion cruel.

They posted the following graphic:

Here is a late term abortion.

It is a twisted organization that says that BANNING this (not DOING this) is cruel.

Prochoicer says abortion rights are more important than free speech and freedom of religion

Reproductive freedom is vital to humanity. It is even more vital than all the other freedoms that we cherish – freedom of religion, freedom of thought and speech, and the freedom to live our lives as we see fit. Humanity has these freedoms, or should have them, because they add to human happiness and make for a better world. So does reproductive freedom.

Alexander Sanger, the grandson of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger

Alexander Sanger Beyond Choice: Reproductive Freedom in the 21st Century (New York: Public Affairs, 2004) 70

So in his mind, being allowed to have an abortion is more important than being allowed to choose your own religion, being allowed to criticize the government, or even being allowed to think your own thoughts. A society with mind control, religious persecution, and political oppression is preferable to one with pro-life laws.

This child is 14 weeks old and legal to abort in every state. Is the right to kill this baby more important than the right to free speech?

Princeton professor supports abortion and infanticide

“[T]he location of the baby inside or outside the womb cannot make such a crucial moral difference” and that to be consistent, there are only two possibilities, namely, “oppose abortion, or allow infanticide.”

Princeton professor Peter Singer, who supports both abortion and infanticide.

Prochoicer: we are more compassionate than prolifers

A pro-choice woman who had 2 abortions said the following:

“We must go on with our heads held high. During the April ’89 March for Women’s Lives, I felt real strong, real sure in my beliefs, I felt wonderful. I looked at those anti people and they were missing the point, they were ignorant, they were not as compassionate as we were, as human, they were so blinded… Women have choices in life and women cannot keep bringing children into the world that are going to starve and be a drain on the system or turn them into alcoholics. It’s just not fair to the child…. Children are too special.”

Patricia Launneborg Abortion: A Positive Decision (New York: Bergin & Garvey, 1992) 63

Apparently, pro-lifers are not as compassionate as prochoicers because they want to protect women and children from abortion. according to this pro-choicer, babies deserve abortion because they are too “special” to be allowed to live if circumstances are less than perfect. I wonder if this child could talk, would be be grateful to the ‘compassionate” prochoiers who did this to him?
