So, the fact, if it is one, that banning abortions would increase the number of unsafe ones is a bit beside the point (to sound as callous as possible :-). A safe murder aint that much better than an unsafe one and the state has no business in promoting or protecting or allowing or condoning either. So, the real issue, as always, is whether or not abortion is a form of murder (again keeping nuance away). All of the other stuff is it seems to me a red-herring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054707203818412735.post-61165627909222254002008-07-09T20:58:00.000-04:002008-07-09T20:58:00.000-04:00I am in agreement here, and found both the post an...I am in agreement here, and found both the post and comments helpful, as well.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame in our sound bite or short take age, that we evangelical Christians don't take the time to think out everything more, instead of simply voting for whoever supports the overturning of Roe v Wade, period.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Ted M.

They recently acquired a <BR/>3-D Ultrasound system. Since the device has been in service, their reported abortion rates have dropped over 80 percent. Maria, you're so right in that the dogmatism of both the left and the right doesn't help anyone move forward in a constructive way toward reducing abortions. Knowledge and truth is the only way to really reduce the numbers. That 3-D ultrasound system delivers truth and knowledge to young women who are considering abortions. When truth is revealed, godly decisions often follow! Google "3D ultrasound" for the most astonishing pictures of God's miracle... it's awesome! And it hammers home the reason why Planned Parenthood despises the device!

Banning abortion legally by itself would only result in increasing the number of unsafe ones. Obama's position makes sense to me -- there should be limits on abortion, especially late term ones. The dogmatism of both the left and the right doesn't help anyone move forward in a constructive way toward reducing abortions (which I believe most Americans would agree is a worthy goal).Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264143140028197973noreply@blogger.com
