I understand the difficulty with abortion but you have to understand where I come from on this issue. I believe that life begins at conception and that there is a soul infused into that baby. I could no more accept abortion than I could killing a one week old baby, a 2 year old or a 90 year old. To me and the vast majority of pro life proponents there is no difference. We have to protect unborn children because they are totally defenseless and the vast, vast majority of abortions aren't done to save the mother's life. They are done out of convenience for the parents.

To me this is not about rich or poor, black or latino. It is about the sanctity of every human life from conception to natural death. I again urge you to read Humane Vitae and you will see that Paul VI accurately predicted what would happen to society if we accepted the culture of death beginning with contraception and eventually ending with euthanasia for those deemed no longer acceptable to society. Another great source for the societal impact of contraception and abortion is Dr. Janet Smith. She examines the true cost of the culture of death on our society and it is staggering.

There is no disputing the origins of the abortion movement and that attitude that the poor need easier access to abortions is exactly in line with Sanger and her eugenic view that we need to control the population of "them". We have too many of "them". What she meant was blacks, the handicapped, the poor, etc. Who are we to decide how many poor is enough?

And give me a break about the poor not being able to travel to get their much needed abortion! Three fourths of the poor own a car and a third own two or more. There is also public transportation, friends with cars, etc. The simple truth is that abortion companies like Planned Parenthood target the poor as a steady stream of customers that are encouraged by our culture of death not to accept new life as a gift from God but to discard it because there are just too many of them. Obviously I could go on forever about this subject but you get the sense of my passion. I really encourage you to seek out Dr. Smith's material as she does a very good job describing the negative effects the culture of death has had on our world.

By the way, the morning after pill is an abortifacient, as is the pill itself. They prevent a fertilized embryo (a human life with a soul) from attaching to the uterus.
