Unwanted rather than unborn

The Tribune, January 21, 2020.

Those in favour of keeping abortion dangerous and illegal (why not add sweet hearting?) would seem to prefer that a child is born unwanted rather than unborn. Unfortunately, one doesn’t hear of very many such law-abiding, well-meaning citizens offering to give the undesired child a ‘good’ home or to take care of its welfare and expenses for the next 18 years or so.

The good doctor conveniently misses the point that contraception combined with responsible behavior would virtually eliminate terminating unborn life in this country overnight !

Because that is not the point, joeblow. The point is who should determine what a woman wants to do with her body. You are Christian, many people are not. Why should you Judeo-Christian values outstrip another's different beliefs?

Human life is impossible without conception. Conception can be prevented with contraception in 99.9% of instances. An adult woman can do anything with her body that she chooses, including not use contraception, but any belief that permits the unilateral destruction of human life, at any stage of development, by one person, without due process, is simply wrong.
