A pro-abortion activist recently asked pro-lifers and abortion advocates to "join together to end the need for abortions."
Reality check--the only "need" for abortion is in abortionists' heads, not in women's wombs.
Pregnant women have many needs: food, shelter, medical care, love, and so on. But abortion advocates ignore these real needs and instead substitute their one-size-fits-all solution of abortion.
Every woman who ever gives birth, whatever her circumstances, is living proof that there is no "need" for abortion. Some women have overcome physical and mental illness, rape, incest, poverty, and a variety of problems to have their babies. Most problems leading to abortion aren't that serious.
It is insulting to women to suggest that the only way they can cope with their problems is to kill their own children. Women are able to rise above the most difficult situations with dignity and grace. They are not, as abortion advocates claim, so weak and stupid that they have to kill their babies to survive in the real world.
To tell the truth, the biggest "need" for abortions is the financial need of abortionists. They can't get real jobs. If they can't kill babies, they'd end up washing cars. Granted, it would be honest work, which would make it a change of pace. But it won't pay for the BMW, will it?
The truth is that there is no need for abortion. There is only the abortionists' unwillingness to offer anything else.
