But I don't know that that is a downside, since I would wager that many more women would have an attack of conscience when they see the little baby, the little human, inside them. I could be wrong, but I don't get what is a downside about a woman knowingly making the choice to kill a person, rather than unknowingly making the same choice. If she does it unknowingly, there is a much greater chance for her to discover later what she has done and feel like a murderess; whereas if she has the information beforehand, she may change her mind -- saving the baby's life; and if she knows the information prior to the abortion and still kills her baby, then at least she knows she's a murderess beforehand. I think the odds are still better to require to have an ultrasound first, so that she knows for sure what she is destroying (with the hope and intention that she will change her mind), than to just let her continue in ignorance and kill the baby for lack of better knowledge.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118292622669944944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-12644307601006596342009-02-10T15:14:00.000-05:002009-02-10T15:14:00.000-05:00You are asking for other pro-lifers to rebuke anot...You are asking for other pro-lifers to rebuke another pro-lifer in this blog.If I remember correctly, ARTL was judged and rebuked for judging and rebuking other pro-lifers, something that was condemned by the owner of this blog. Now you are asking for it to happen to a pro-life brother because you disapprove of his tactics.<BR/><BR/>Is it wrong or just depends on who the pro-lifer is and whether or not you agree with his strategy?<BR/><BR/>The ultrasound bill can save some lives but hss the potential downfall of women looking at the baby, realizing it is a person, a baby and still deciding to kill the baby.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001054934296137230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-16046835042842349802009-02-10T07:12:00.000-05:002009-02-10T07:12:00.000-05:00Oh -- for those who say, "Well, the ends -- saving...Oh -- for those who say, "Well, the ends -- saving babies -- doesn't justify the means -- giving tacit approval to killing them through abortion" I'd point out two things:<BR/><BR/>1. Nobody in their right mind has any doubt that the goal of these bills is to highlight the humanity of the child and prevent abortions. <BR/><BR/>2. Look at Scriptures. We can start with the Hebrew midwives, who in response to Pharaoh's decree to kill the newborns, didn't stage a protest or try to lobby against the decree. They instead hedged and said, "The Hebrew women are too hardy; the babies are born too fast for us to get there in time to kill them at birth." Then Moses' mom hid him, rather than confronting Pharaoh with him and asserting the child's right to live. Moses' sister played dumb, as did his mother, when dealing with Pharaoh's daughter. This is but one example of Scripture supporting the idea that sometimes you're living under an evil regime and have to do the best you can. What incrementalists are doing is in the same spirit.Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-20541517350948344062009-02-10T07:09:00.000-05:002009-02-10T07:09:00.000-05:00I"m also concerned about the capitulation to evil....I"m also concerned about the capitulation to evil. After all, it's the excuse that the ends justify the means that allows abortion in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Do the ends -- saving babies -- justify the means -- routinely breaking other commandments?<BR/><BR/>And <I>all</I> of us are prone to the misrepresentation of other people's motives. How many prolifers describe a woman walking into an abortion mill as "choosing to have her baby killed" without for a moment stopping to recognize that we don't know what she's been told. We don't know that she knows it's killing a baby. If she was raised by a pro-abortion mother, surrounded all her life by proabortion people, she's been taught that "It's a baby" is a bald-faced lie, that there's nothing in her uterus but some tissue that, if she doesn't take quick action, will <I>become</I> a baby. She might have been taught that abortion is the responsible thing to do for herself and her family and her future children and the entire well-being of humanity.<BR/><BR/>She's going in for an abortion. We can't know if she's choosing it freely or if she's doing this because she fears for her life. We can't know if she's scared out of her wits or proudly exercising her "right to choose". We can't know, unless she tells us, that she really knows that what she's about to do is killing a living child.<BR/><BR/>The more I think about it the more abortion seems to be a furnace burning away the dross in <I>everybody</I>.Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-7314945012777564122009-02-10T00:54:00.000-05:002009-02-10T00:54:00.000-05:00One wonders what PLN could do if it committed its ...One wonders what PLN could do if it committed its efforts toward the pro-aborts instead of the pro-lifers.<BR/><BR/>Maybe save a baby or two, do you think?WKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059596026880204598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-84218666693133915992009-02-09T21:38:00.000-05:002009-02-09T21:38:00.000-05:00Hi Christina, great blog!
