Having worked in the pro-life ministry I should would like to know where all that money made on the pro-life went. my experience is we have to beg for every penny we get. Abortion, OTH, is a billion dollar a year industry
That’s exactly my point. Abortion is a billion dollar industry. No politician is going to be serious about messing with that.
Yep. Performing abortions generates money in because people pay to have their child killed. The people standing across the street do not charge to pray the Rosary. So yes, there is a bit of an economic disparity.
You mentioned your post was rhetorical, but it still deserves and answer. The Pro-Abortion Presidential Candidate voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act several times. When NRLC brought this up, he said they were lying. Then NRLC produced the documentation on their website. This Act allows for Doctors of botched Late-Term abortions to place fully developed living babies in cold boxes to die cruel deaths of Thermal Exposure. These babies are people.
I found your statement ludicrous and attempted to match it with one of my own.We’re not allowed to talk about presidential candidates in here.

The logic here is a bit iffy. Abortion has been legal for 35 years now. Since the time when the generation lost to abortion would be starting to have an economic impact, 1990 or so, we’ve had a fairly robust economy, no great shortage of healthcare workers, and a strong military. There have been periodic shortages or surpluses in some areas of healthcare from time to time, and the military has fallen short in recruiting some years. But the latter is mostly due to deployment requirements in recent years, and a strong economy over most of that period, which made military service less attractive than private sector alternatives.
I did say it was my opinion but you changed my mind keep abortion legal and lets slaughter us some babies it seems to not matter.
You gave your opinion that abortion was the number one issue, then you gave your logic behind it. I have no problem with abortion being the number one issue. If your logic is flawed, however, you may have trouble convincing others that you are correct.
The American society is slowly slipping into oblivion. I feel that at its root is Abortion. As long as we have no value for the life of these innocents it will only continue to slip away. Our Economy, Health Care, and National Security are secondary.
I dont care what rationale people use to vote agaisnt pro-abortion canidates as loing as that is what they do.
Abortion is fundamentally a moral issue. You are correct that other effects are secondary. The trouble with trying to make abortion an economic issue is that the effects are on both sides. There are undoubtedly economic benefits to abortion being legal - what specifically, I don’t know, but surely there are. However, once you get to this stage, it becomes a matter of weighing the economic pluses and minuses to determine whether abortion is a good idea.
If that was the case how did the woman win the court cases. It is on record that they won because they did not get full disclosure. Did I say it was a major reason? No I just said it is interesting fact. It is an issue no one discusses. I have actually been working with some doctors who want to get that message out that it does actually increase your risk of breast cancer. But you can go argue with them if you like.
I don’t think that was called for, but perhaps it would help if you could explain exactly how I was intellectually dishonest.
That misses the point. Abortion may be bad for your soul, but it is not completely bad for your body. Some studies have shown a decrease in endometrial cancer post-abortion. Similarly there is some evidence RU-486 reduces the risk of some cancers. I suppose any marginally educated woman, especially with a family history of endometrial cancer, will want to weigh the risks and consider whether abortion might be the right thing for her health.
I would like to read about that if you have a link. I would assume they won because a jury of 12 felt bad for the plaintiffs, decided Planned Parenthood was responsible since it didn’t share all (or perhaps any) evidence about a possible abortion-breast cancer link, and awarded them damages. Such a verdict does not mean there is truth to the link.
It is axiomatic that there are economic benefits to abortion. There are economic benefits to any and every economic activity. I don’t have much interest in what they may be, but since you insist that I think about it, I suspect evidence would show that teenagers who have abortions are able to attain higher educational levels, and thus increased productivity as employees.
I didn’t “switch horses.” It was KenEOTE in #115 who brought up breast cancer. My statement in #117 to which you first replied was
Whether that disease is endometrial cancer or something else, whether the abortion is a surgical procedure or caused by RU-486, somewhere along the way you’ll find a health benefit to abortion. In those cases, if your premise from the get-go has been that abortion is bad because it increases health risks, you’ll have to turn around and admit (if you’re being intellectually honest, anyway) that abortion is good because it reduces a health risk.
If someone states that Bush is our greatest president because he looks good in blue, I’ll point out the flaws in the logical approach, and possibly give contrary evidence from that approach (some sources indicate Clinton looked even better in blue). Is that going down another path from what I believe, or merely helping someone to see the flaw in his logic?
