Your post is too long and raises far more points than I have time for.
Suffice it to say, we define compassion differently.
"There are things we only learn by caring for the weakest among us" Gianna Jessen
When you can get back to this post and have the time, I would appreciate your opinions. Even if you cannot address them all at once. Just take it in pieces.
Thank you Gina, for injecting some reality of just what it is forcing a woman to carry a profoundly defective fetus to term yields. I reject that anyone is showing compassion to either mother or "child" in doing so. All they are truly showing is that they have an unremitting psychotic drive to control other people. What that costs others, in terms of physical suffering, emotional trauma, ruined finances, destroyed dreams, or anything else just isn't part of the equation.
You are welcome and well put. I agree and would add the same is true of normal children. Once born, pro-lifers do not seem concerned with that child's well being. I know I could take a hit for saying that, but when one says "No abortions. Period", and then decries welfare as robbing the rich to pay for the children of the poor, it gets my dander up.
