Seeing this many people Walking for Life in San Francisco, gives me hope for the future!

Save the date! The next Walk For Life in San Francisco will be on January 22, 2011.

So any American who is 37 years old or younger was lucky to be born alive.

Knowing that you were a potential “abortee” and that you are most likely missing several classmates, siblings and other relatives who might have been born before Roe v. Wade, can certainly help one to understand the devastation that abortion has caused.

The pro-life trend will only increase now that more babies are old enough to defend themselves.

The doc gelled up the wand. Rolled it over my belly. Prodded a bit. And then suddenly, through the silence–the steady, undeniable sound of life: the swish and thrum of my son’s heartbeat.

I went in a pregnant woman.

I left a mother. A mother of a yet-unborn baby.

I give science a great deal of credit in changing the attitudes of Americans regarding abortion. I never considered aborting my son…but had I, that heartbeat would have aborted the thought of destroying my baby–my only son.

Love Gallup’s headline. And here are the results of its new annual poll on abortion (click to enlarge): According to Gallup………

Young people today have grown up in a world where there is a ready availability of contraception, so getting pregnant unexpectedly is much more clearly an act of irresponsibility.

Dead on. And the truly responsible ones use something for each participant. I like to tell my sexually active friends “always have a backup system”.

{What can I say? I’m a techie born and raised. >;-} )

There is no genetic change caused by prolife views.

Childrens’ values resemble those of their parents (~83%) and pro-abortion women tend to have less children than pro-life women. Long term result: there are less pro-abortion people over time.

And it doesn’t matter whether or not there is any genetic bias involved. The concept of evolution applies to cultures as well as genetics.

As James Taranto says, it is the “Roe Effect”. Those liberals who are pro-abortion have abortions, those who are pro-life have children. Aborted children do not get to vote when they turn 18.

And you can imagine what it must be like for a kid who was allowed to live, discovering that his or her selfish mom had offed their sibling with such blithe alacrity. Having the the “there but for the grace of God go I” burnt into the back of their brains has got to make the surviving children of feticidal me-generation women think twice about the ethics of abortion.

All the advances in ultrasound technology where people are sending out the ever-more detailed & vivid sonograms of their kids in the womb to friends & family & even coworkers must surely have something to do with the spike in pro-lifers, too.

Maybe that’s part of why Barack Obama & all his fellow statists have suddenly begun sounding like luddites bemoaning the advances of technologies which have created, in their view, far too much information for the citizenry to process quite as they’d prefer us to process it. The danger of technology is it allows us to question the elite’s authority on all these matters, including the supposed ‘settled science’ that a fetus is just an inanimate lump of tissue.

The private medical decisions of others are nobody else’s business and as long as conservatives harp on it they will always lose.

I make my private medical decisions with a gun, but the sherif makes me lose. Damn those relatives and state busybodies. If they’d just shut up I could keep aborting people at will, medicaly that is. /sarc

You can only scream “fake” so many times, ya know?

I just started a book that I bought on a whim while purchasing Dalrymple’s books because I was fascinated by the description of the author – where else can you find a book written by a French intellectual conservative in the last 10 years? …

KyMouse on May 14, 2010 at 11:54 AM

Yes, this does seem to be one instance in which liberals refuse to accept that the science is indeed settled.

Damn science.

Liberals are only interested in science when they can fake it in favor of their harebrained schemes (e.g. global warming).

When it gets in their way, they just shift to their high priests in the legal profession, to get them what they want.

Either way, they’re covered by bogus “reasoning”.

The science is settled. However, it is also ignored.

KyMouse on May 14, 2010 at 11:42 AM

The science has never been the issue with me or our family, my wife is currently at a pro-life fundraising auction, the science is truly settled and I was being facetious but thank-you for bringing up THE DEVELOPING HUMAN. There are numerous scientiffic studies verifying that fact and it is a shame it is being ignored.

“Medical Embryology,” Jan Langman, 1975

“Langman’s Medical Embryology,” 7th edition, ed. T. W. Sadler, 1995

“Essentials of Human Embryology,” Keith L. Moore, 1988

“Human Embryology,” William J. Larsen, 1997

“Patten’s Foundations of Embryology,” Bruce M. Carlson, 1996

“Human Embryology and Teratology,” O’Rahilly and Muller, 1996

The science is settled.
No it isn’t.
Yes it is.
No it isn’t, but we are getting there.

I seem to have to bring this up every time there is a pro-life thread.

I have in front of me a copy of “The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology,” published in 1988 for medical students (as opposed to seminary students). On page one it states, “Zygote: This cell results from fertilization of an ovum by a sperm. A zygote is the beginning of a new human being…Human development is a continuous process that begins when an ovum from a female is fertilized by a sperm from a male.”

The science is settled. However, it is also ignored.

On the last Saturday in March 2008, at a town hall meeting in Johnstown, Pennsylvania , Candidate Barack Obama told the crowd that he didn’t want his daughters, “punished with a baby.” He got elected, despite that stupid statement. Those of the same mind are upset that the American people are finally catching on that there is a human life, full of unknown potential,that is ended by an abortion.

I really don’t give a damn about the legalities. It’s of no interest to me.

It’s appalling to me that rape is even thinkable, legal is not even a consideration for me, I know that it’s impossible to prevent.

It’s a sick tragedy that a mother would choose to have her own child murdered and that a “doctor” would do it. You can argue all you want to the irrelevant legalities, knock yourself out.

“Pro-life” has apparently become the new normal in America. Gallop reports that the conservative shift in Americans’ views on abortion that was first recorded a year ago has carried over into 2010. Slightly more Americans call themselves “pro-life…

If so, pro-choice Democrats could find themselves in a minority party in the next several years.

That phrase boggles the mind. If you believe that abortion kills children, how could you possibly vote for politicians who favor it?
