Burn Baby Burn
As heard on the CTV Evening News

We're on a slippery slope...if we kill someone who is "age challenged" for being in the womb...it won't be long before we kill the elderly.
Morgan is merchandising abortions; he is charging for abortions and we don't think people should have to pay for their health care.
It's a political tool. This was not the time to address this issue...until Canadians have a chance to voice their opinion.

My opinion? I agree with what George Carlin said, "Pro-life is anti-women." Carlin may not have been the greatest of human beings, but that statement is certainly true. You can't say that you're against abortion until you've been in a situation where it is necessary. I wonder how many of the people at my old church who are so very anti-abortion were impregnated by rape. Or, I wonder how many were told by the doctor that they would die if the child was carried to term.
Certainly, I will concede that abortion as a main means of birth control is deplorable. It's a waste of resources. But, in the case where someone's life will be negatively impacted by having a child, when the person has taken any available precautions, without restrictions on the woman's right to sexual intercourse, an abortion shouldn't be controversial. Having abortions just for the "fun" of abortions is a waste of resources. Having an abortion because of an accident, rape, or due to a medical condition should be allowed at the woman's discretion.
But, who has abortions as a recreational activity? I'm bored today. Let's get pregnant so I can have an abortion. That just doesn't happen with sane people.
And, what's up with this "age challenged" crap? Are we so politically correct that we can't call a the fetus a "fetus"? Do we now have to bow down to more PC bull and say that a fetus is an "age-challenged human, pre-birth"? Ridiculous!
