So much for abortion rights as a feminist goal.
So far, we have seen birth control pills hurt women, IUDs hurt women, abortion hurt women and kill girls, and the sexual-liberation crowd insist that they are trying to help women.:ouch:

A great editorial pointing out yet another great evil associated with abortion: the cultural practice of aborting females because of the desire for male heirs. This not only happens in places like China and India…surprise, it’s also happening in America.

The biggest difference between China and the U.S. is that in the U.S. the blood is mostly on the hands of citizens rather than from government coersion.

And these feminist goals really amount to nothing more than women denying a part of their nature. Wouldn’t it make more sense for someone who claims to be a feminist to embrace all it is that makes one ‘female’ rather than to deny it?

Rather depends on who is doing the defining of “all it is that makes one ‘female’”, really.
 
I just read the article and my heart bleeds, I’m sure this was not what was intended when abortion became legal, hopefully this will bring insight to the problem.

It doesn’t surprise me that it is happening in America. I wouldn’t be surprised if DNA tests are made to make sure a baby has the right color of hair.

But how can it be made illegal if abortion is legal. A woman will never be asked what her reason for an abortion is. And if the question was asked she could simply say, “I can’t afford a child now.”

I also find this sad and ironic: that what women thought they wanted is, in fact, destroying little girls.
 
Birth control pills, IUDs, abortion, sexual liberation - these have all hurt some women to some degree; but they can each be traced back to the demands and desires of men. Without the sick culture that surrounds children, without the parents who aren’t paying enough attention, without the pressures and desires and demands of males, much of the need for contraceptives and abortion would be eliminated.

I would venture to guess that most 13-year-old girls today have absolutely no desire to get horizontal with some young boy. But ask the boys what they think about day and night (aside from their skateboarding and texting). Rites of passage? Get off me!

I do not I agree with you about 13 year old girls. They are just as curious and interested in boys as boys are with girls. I think that most 13 year old boys are not all that ready to hop in bed either but they feel pressured by the same culture that pressure girls.

Girls and boys need to be guided and watched over with great care but there is very little of that happening in our way of life now.

Men and women have equal share in the evil and the good of this world. I don’t put the blame on men any more than women.

A female predator is called a victim.
A male pedator is simply a predator.

Both are dangerous predators and both are, more often than not, victims of predators: predators both male and female.
 
Just because abortion can be used for some evils does not mean that abortion should be outlawed.

Abortion is an intrinsic evil. It is the extremely violent killing of a totally helpless and unsuspecting person for arriving at the wrong time.
 
I don’t deny girls’ curiosity and interest in boys; my point was, and is, that most girls are far less compelled, less driven, and less encouraged to perform any given sex act than most boys.

And where is a female predator called a victim? Can you clarify that, HelenRose? Are you referring specifically to female sexual predators, or to all female predators?

Thanks.

So murder can then be justified as a choice? I guess I just do not understand when it is ok to murder another human being as a choice.

Define murder and also define person.

Grade school level stuff.
Murder: The unjust killing of an innocent person.
Person: Human or Individual.

Therefore Abortion is the unjust killing of an innocent human or individual. More lessons on the elementary biology of what a human being or the simple theology of what an individual is can be garnered from your nearest 3rd grader.

Hmmm, I am thinking now and I don’t know if I should be pro-life or pro-choice. I just want to be orthodox in my Christian views of things and I want to know the truth of things. Maybe I am wrong to be pro-choice.

Substituted two words with an example from the general set that each replaced word represents which perfectly illustrates the absurdity of the original sentence. 😉

Ok, so you have a point. Maybe I am wrong to be pro-choice. I just don’t see why something that is a religiously based argument should be used to justify outlawing abortion.
