I have rarely read a more disturbing article than this one from the LATimes on one abortion doctor who seeks to justify the morality of abortion by claiming the lives of the women recieving the procedure are made amazingly better. The article borders on pure propoganda, by completely ignoring the moral concerns raised by abortion. The excuses given by the young mothers are typical: "I don't want to give up high school," "I don't want to give birth while I am poor and uneducated," etc. But never is the enormity of the act considered, either by the doctor nor by the women who are interviewed. Rather, the doctor even tries to comfort the women coming in by telling them, "It will be much easier than you expect."
I really try to be understanding to the Pro-Choicers out there. I really do. I understand that some of them simply can not see my point of view that abortion is murder, plain and simple. I try to find reasonable levels of compromise: rape, incest, life of the mother, etc. I am willing to admit there are hard cases that perhaps should remain between a woman, a doctor, and God. But this article follows none of that. Rather, it considers the easy cases - a girl chooses to be promiscuous prior to marriage (prior even to the age of reasonable consent) and then decides the right choice is to abort rather than miss the Prom, or graduation, or a class. This is PRECISELY when society is SUPPOSED to step in - when morality requires a tough choice that has LARGE consequences, and requires inconvenience for the individual. Instead, the article lauds the choice to abort. Sigh.
PLEASE, can ANY Pro-Choicer out there convince me that I should read this article any other way?
