Elephants get pregnant with elephants.
Dogs get pregnant with dogs.
Dolphins get pregnant with dolphins.
Humans get pregnant with….ETA: So I’m pretty amused with some of the reblog comments on this. Let’s clarify:
1) Comparing an unborn child to a corpse in order to get out of the truth that all humans are persons is just hilariously bad. On so many levels.
2) No one’s suggesting that “animal abortion” is a problem for pro-choicers. We’re suggesting that no one denies that a species reproduces offspring of the same species—except in the case of human beings, where so many pro-choicers continually assert that human offspring are just “clumps of cells” with no identity or purpose.
Tyranny of the living.
It’s a term used a lot in reference to how history and traditions of the dead get trampled on by those who are currently alive. Who are the living to set the history and traditions of the future? Surely the dead should have their say. There’s a lot more of them than there are of us. We can learn from them.
But it is also a term that can be used in the opposite direction. Although it does leave something to want in terms of the language “living”. How about, Tyranny of the born?
There are more future unborn than there are those who are born and still alive. Who are we, as born people, to say who gets to have a birthday or not? Who are we, to limit the potential achievements of the unborn post-birth just because they’re a minor inconvenience now?
Millions aren’t born every year around the world. Millions.
Millions who won’t change the world.
Millions who won’t celebrate a single birthday.
Millions who won’t have the chance to love.
All of that love, snuffed out because of temporary inconvenience.
Is it really worth it?

Oh, no problem
A friend of mine just said this on facebook when I made a comment about Obama and abortion: “you need to start singing a new tune this one is starting to get old. What a women does to her body is her right not the governments. ”
Isn’t that the point of a conviction or an ideal? You don’t just change them. Oh, I’m sorry, you don’t like it? I guess I’ll just throw all my beliefs out the window and decide that murder is OK.
I’ll add another analogy in the following post…
What a
womanmurderer does tohertheir victims’bodybodies ishertheir right not the governments.
Does it still make sense, friend-of-catholicknight?
… and I’ll be taking this one.
Judge as you will, but I just wanna tell ya, I LOVE LIFE! :)
Peace and Love.
z Bogiem!
All the awards!

What a woman does to her body is her right…
I female teacher in my school recently stepped in front of a semi truck and committed suicide. That’s OK, what she does with her own body is her own business and her right.
It really doesn’t matter that the truck driver now has to deal with this or that other cars that swerved were in harm’s way. It’s also OK that the highway was closed on Thanksgiving. What she did to her own body is her own business.
Abortion is OK, too, because it is her body and nobody else’s, especially the 2nd heartbeat and ten fingers and toes inside.
And the reason you recoil when we call abortion a holocaust is because to recognize this truth is an admission that you stood by and allowed it to happen.

Look for the media bias in the next week. 200-300 people “Occupy” without permits, act disruptively, and leave a park full of rats but they get loads of coverage. 200-300 thousand of mostly the same age group get permits and make the place better then they came in support of human rights and life and we’ll be told a few dozen “anti-abortion” activists were in town.
“I do not believe the pro-life movement will succeed unless those who are strongly pro-life are also defending the teaching of the Church from the first century - that contraception is a grave sin. For many years I have taught a course on the history of contraception. Now over 5,000 years of recorded history, all contraceptive societies became abortive societies. Contraception leads inevitably to abortion and abortion always leads to the destruction of society.”
- Fr. John Hardon, S.J.
Unpopular Opinion
I don’t agree with the use of graphic abortion images by either side of what is often called the Life Debate.
For prolifers (of which I am one) to use an image that seems to disregard the dignity and thus the true humanity of those children who are brutally murdered seems, to me, to be hypocritical.Moreover, even in good can, does and/or will eventually come from this, I do not believe that the end can ever justify the means.
For this reason, I do not support the use of graphic images of children who have been physically destroyed in the womb, even in order to prevent more of the same from happening.
Furthermore, those things can violently trigger people.
At least with words, the moment you come across a problematic word you can stop reading and move on.
Images aren’t so easy to ignore.
I don’t want to trigger anybody. People who have had abortions need love and care and healing.
