The abortion lobby has become so extreme in recent years that even their “moderate” supporters, like Hillary Clinton, are advocating for abortion on demand up to the moment of birth. That is a full-formed child, folks. Today, we have the ability to deliver a premature baby at 25 weeks and still have a real chance of nursing that baby to full health and a long life. If, as Hillary Clinton wants, we legalized abortion at any time, we would simply be paving the way to legalized infanticide next. There is NO biological, psychological or logical difference between a newborn child and a 35 week old preborn child. The only difference is location – one resides in their mother’s arms and the other in her womb.
I gather that the really big news, as always, had to do with a commercial advertisement that was broadcast in the course of the game. Evidently, a potato chip manufacturer, or some such profit-driven purveyor of packaged foodstuffs, showed a video image of an unborn baby. This shocked and appalled the folks at NARAL, the big abortion lobby, who promptly accused the company responsible for the ad of “humanizing the fetus.” Since, however, the fetus in the video was, by all accounts, a human fetus, the offspring of human parents, and not a bovine, canine, or feline fetus, it’s less than clear how it is that the potato chip company (or whatever it was) is to blame for the humanization. Surely NARAL’s complaint would be more fairly lodged against God, or nature, or plain old biological reality.
The science on this is settled, and in our modern world to be a logically consistent and an intellectually honest abortion defender, you must also defend murder at any age. Otherwise you’re a hypocrite or a liar.
