Pro-lifers argue that nothing is more important than the life of the unborn child. The health of the mother is not more important. The life of the mother is not more important. The circumstances which led to the pregnancy-rape or incest-are not more important. The life circumstances of the mother-poverty, drug abuse, alcoholism, dangerous relationships-are secondary to making sure that baby is born. The baby's own circumstances are irrelevant. If the baby has a significant disability or disorder, even one that carries a very short, very painful life- like Tay Sachs or Edwards syndrome-she must be born.No exceptions. No burden is too great. No impediment too onerous. The life of the unborn child is sacrosanct.
Your family has no right to make this decision. There is only one view, you baby killers. Your doctors may be required by law to lie to you. You may be required to undergo medically unnecessary procedures, listen to fetal heartbeats, and watch videos about the dangers of abortion. You may be slut shamed for wanting contraceptives. Protecting the unborn is so important that laws are being passed that will take away the hope of bearing a child from parents wanting to try in vitro fertilization.
Nothing is more important than life. No excuses, no circumstances, no exceptions, no considerations. We are talking about preventing genocide, holding back the forces of a new holocaust. No effort is too great, no law too draconian, no procedure too intrusive, no restriction too cruel.
Nothing, absolutely nothing trumps the need to protect innocent life.
Except the 2nd Amendment. Yes, some children might have to die. But I have the absolute right to stockpile weapons with unlimited clips. You have to draw the line somewhere.
