[Vision2020] Compassion for All Life

[Tony]

Tom, for God's sake, would you call what Charles Manson had his followers do to Sharon Tate, an "operation?"  How then can you characterize the equally barbaric practice of ripping an innocent child from it's mother's womb and then summarily trash canning the bloody remains, as a medical procedure??

Think, you misguided enabler!  A man who intentionally causes the violent death of an innocent child, is NOT a "physician" but simply a more polished Charley Manson.  The result is the same: violent and unnecessary death.

When judgment day comes, if there is such a thing, may God have mercy on your soul, Tom, for countenancing our modern age's most horrific crime.

  Two things that legalizing abortions (prior to the third trimester) accomplishes:

   

  1)  Reduces mandated influence of the government over women's personal lives.

   

  2)  Provides availability of sterilized environments and trained/qualified physicians for such an operation.

   

  To believe that abortions will not occur if they are not legal is absolutely ludicrous.  To believe that the number of abortions has increased since Roe v. Wade is just as ignorant.  Perhaps the number of REPORTED abortions has increased, possibly due to a drastic reduction in abortions being performed in back alleys with coat hangers.

  Tony,

  You can oppose abortion all you want.  The fact is that whether or not abortion remains legalized or whether it is completely banned will not directily impact you.  You personally gain no rights nor lose any rights as abortion restrictions ebb and flow.

  But would your position on "compassion for all life" change at all if you were affected?  For instance, let's say that I need half of your liver to survive because for [insert any reason] my own liver is failing.  Let's say that an operation to split your liver carries no more risk of death to you than that of a woman in child birth.  Let's also say that the recovery time from this operation is no more burdensome than what women typically go through from late term pregnancies through child birth.  Your liver will regenerate back to full size 6 months after the operation.  The question then I have for you is this: should you be allowed to make the choice of whether or not to donate half of your liver to save my life or should the government be allowed to strap you to a gurney against your will and take half of your liver to save me in the name of "compassion for all life"?

  Looking forward to your bobbing and weaving response - if you have any response at all.

  -Scott
