I am Pro-Choice.
I have stronger views on the religious anti-abortion crowd. I find them highly hypocritical in that they want to stop women from making this choice based on their own religious beliefs, but make no effort to take care of unwanted children on a scale in which their numbers and cumulative wealth could handle. If this is so important to them, they should have well-run orphanages and scholoarship programs for these children, but there is no concerted effort that I can see. I see no organized effort or advertizing offering to take these children. They should have orphanages all over the world, including right here at their ground zero.
According to the CDC, there were 730, 322 abortions in the U.S. in 2011 alone, 89% of them performed for reasons other than medical emergency. If so many fetuses are being “murdered” outright, then Operation Rescue orphanages should be all over America. But they aren’t. It is much easier for them to use their energy and money to protest abortion clinics, or in other words, harrass pregnant women in the streets, because orphanages are hard work for serious people.
Trust me, if 730,322 live infants were murdered in one year in the U.S., people – all 360 million of us—would be in riot mode. Christians aren’t supposed to discriminate between conception and live birth, so to them, it’s all murder: 730,322 babies were actually murdered in 2011 in their minds. Christians claim that there are 256 million Christians in the United States. Funny, I really don’t see the expected reaction to infanticide, including rational preventive measures. If they were serious and really believed this to be infanticide, they would spend every cent they have, every waking minute, spend themselves into poverty and volunteer work, providing an alternative to abortion. But they don’t. Because they are bullshit.
So, the anti-abortion crowd are nothing more than attention whores. They are bullshit. They carry no voice in my ears.
