Comments on: Health Care and the Abortion Issue

The truth is, abortion is not a health issue at all.

Very, very few abortions are performed for the health of the mother. In countries that are allowed to keep stats (not the USA) over 90% are because contraception failed (abortion as birth control) or because the mother does not wish to have a baby at this time (convenience).

Anyone who has been to an abortion “clinic” can tell you — you can not get any medical treatments there, not even a band-aid. Only abortions.

To accept abortion as a health issue at all, without making the pro-abortion side explain how it is a health issue, is to fail to defend the 4,000 who died today, the 4,000 who will die tomorrow, and the 1 million who will die this year.

I don’t know this to be true, and I am admitedly speculating … but I have to wonder if Obama’s viewpoint of abortion is not tied to a (incorrect) view that black women could be helped if they didn’t have to raise unwanted children? I do not mean for this to appear racial … it is not, but I don’t have to stretch that far to believe their are those who see unwanted pregnancies as hindering their path out of poverty. This of course, wouldn’t be said openly.

As for PETA. Please.

Every organization has to protect their own. How else would all the manure decompose? It’s never been any different. What is new is that now the media puts a zoom lens on all the waste matter that is out there and calls it breaking, eye witness news. Thankfully we can’t smell it.

Just watching the New South Wales news on Channel 10. I see that PETA has complained to President Obama about him killing a fly during a news interview, suggesting that he should have used a humane fly trap instead and released the fly outside the building.

We really need to wonder about the priorities of some people.
