This article was so good, so concise, I had to include it here in its original form. Please read it and comment! This is a subject that is constantly on my mind as I work to rescue Orphaned & Abandoned children from LIFE I constantly think about how in the states, we need to rescue them from DEATH... This article comes from Please Convince Me which is one of the apologetics podcasts I often listen to. "Our cultural confusion about when life begins is clearly demonstrated by this recent tragedy in Florida. The same woman who entered an abortion clinic to terminate the life of her baby, is now filing a suit against the abortionist because the clinic allowed the baby to be born prior to killing it. The same woman who was so ready to kill her child on the inside of the womb, is now outraged that the doctor would kill it on the outside of the womb. Her attorney is quoted as saying that it is an outrage that the abortion clinic treated the child like trash ("The baby was just treated as a piece of garbage") but this was not a concern to the woman when she first entered the clinic. EVERY abortion treats the child like trash; this young lady just had the chance to see this for herself. We seem to be comfortable killing babies we can’t see, but horrified if they are killed before our eyes. In fact, this was exactly the case with the young woman here who was so ready to kill her 23 week old child. Her entire opinion about the value of life and the value of the baby changed once the child was born and she was able to see the baby for what it was (and is): "She came face to face with a human being… and that changed everything." We are wired by God to be visual beings. It’s important for us to remind the culture that abortions kill real babies; we need to show them the human lives they are destroying."
