Two-headed, four-legged women with penises
I refuse to believe that abortion-rights advocates who argue “My body, my choice” are so stupid not to recognize that the unborn child is not, in fact, part of the woman’s body. No…it’s… Continue reading

Acorns, homicide, policing dinner, and the SLED test
This is not a logical argument. The acorn analogy is popular among abortion-rights advocates and goes something like this: An acorn looks and functions nothing like the tree it would become if planted… Continue reading
A person’s a person no matter…
Since abortion-rights advocates cannot in all seriousness deny that the unborn entity is human, the more perceptive among them deny instead that it is a person. Yes, they will agree, that which is… Continue reading
One of these things is not like the other
Sperm are as much potential life as those dividing cells, zygotes, fetus…prior to brain activity. If we must consider early stage human development the same as a birthed human because it has human… Continue reading
Decisively aware and now here, not there
sentient | \ ˈsen(t)-sh(ē-)ənt , ˈsen-tē-ənt\ 1: responsive to or conscious of sense impressions 2: aware 3: finely sensitive in perception or feeling You and I are sentient creatures…except when we’re not. Every 16 hours or so we become non-sentient… Continue reading
Some persons are brainless
Neural pathways are developing at 5 weeks, Caroline, but the fetus has the neural capacity of a shrimp. I do think independent function and brain activity should be the rubric for when it… Continue reading
Abortion is non-environmentally-friendly
If you were suddenly transported out of earth’s atmosphere and onto the surface of the moon in only your birthday suit, how long do you think you’d survive? Not very, I think it’s… Continue reading
Is there a decisive moment?
Contrary to what many believe, one can be a pro-life advocate yet not hold the position that the unborn enjoys full personhood from the moment of conception. Dr. Bernard Nathanson was one of… Continue reading
The agnostic approach to abortion
I tend to get a little bit testy when discussing or opining on the issue of abortion because most of the arguments for it are so illogical and/or self-serving and we’re talking about… Continue reading
Avoid the argument; attack the person
It’s likely everyone who’s been engaged in the abortion debate has seen a meme or tweet with this sentiment or one similar, posted in support of abortion rights. Many of them include some… Continue reading
Privacy, impossibility, and you can’t make me
I envision the battle over abortion this way: The pro-life movement has one offensive weapon but it’s as powerful as an atomic bomb so can’t be defended against. The pro-choice opposition has an… Continue reading
Because…tolerance
It’s hard arguing with people who believe “life begins at conception”, and I know it’s not black and white, so that’s why this discussion is so hard. Hard, not impossible. I think we… Continue reading
Protecting your rights can mean hardship for me
I’m going to put something out there that maybe you didn’t know about me. Here it is: I’m much too self-focused and inclined to resist doing hard things that will cause me discomfort… Continue reading
Better never born than newborn
Nothing makes me sadder than knowing there are children who are not loved and cared for well by their parents. My heart hurts even now as I think about them flinching at verbal… Continue reading
These arguments are pitiful
Women will die from unsafe, illegal abortions. An unwanted child will suffer abuse and neglect. Poor families will be further deprived with one more mouth to feed. Caring for a child with physical… Continue reading
