Why is the killing of one million less significant than the killing of twenty children. This is a sick, sick society if we can't even see the illogic in that.
That's why I don't use that logic.

Do you know why right-wingers are so passionate about this? You know that bit, and I'm paraphrasing, that essentially says, "What you do to the least of you, you do to me?" Well, most of these specimens can't bring themselves to love the poor, so what's an angry right-winger to do? I'll tell you. You find some other group of "people" you can cast as even lesser than the poor and shower them with all the love a right-winger can muster. Problem solved. Now they don't have to go around loving poor people or dirty people or mentally ill people. They love the "babies," you see.

It's also not hurt if it's aborted. I don't consider a quick, painless, and unforeseen snuffing out of life to be bad for a fetus or person, it's only bad for people attached to it/him/her.

Dumb and ignorant post! 90+% of abortions are performed before the 12th week of pregnancy. A fetus does not develop the neural capability to feel anything until 24 - 28 weeks.

FACT always trumps hyperbole.

Want to talk about a real tragedy? 463,000 children live in foster care. Less than 3% of those kids go to college, and 50% are HOMELESS when they age out. My boyfriend lived on the streets with his best friend who has cerebral palsy when they both aged out of the system. His best friend was relinquished at birth because of his disability (which, even now after years of declining condition because he has little to no support in getting access to services, is mild enough to let him live independently) and he NEVER FOUND a permanent home. This was after years of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.

How is a system that is already broken going to handle an influx of children each year? How many of you pro-lifers have saved a child lately? And I don't mean a fetus. I mean the 16 year old at the group home who was impregnated by her last foster father, or the 10 year old kid with cerebral palsy or the 13 year old who walked in on his father's dead body after he ODed. These kids need our help, and we ALL are failing them. And then the right wing who clamors for them to be born looks down on them when they end up on government assistance for the rest of their lives because they have absolutely no sense of normalcy, stability, or safety and don't know how to live like those of us who grew up with families. Even the most dysfunctional of non-abusive families is more nurturing than a group home when it's kill or be killed.

I was thnking about that too......We have a president who sanctions mothers murdering their own children by the thousands, in the name of "civil rights". But he's up there crying over 20?

Yes....he SHOULD weep over those 20......But Obama and this country sees "evil" only where it wants to see evil.

Thank you.

Some people have political agendas but they never think about the consequences. We don't even have the resources to support 1/2 million foster kids, let alone 18 million.

Get this straight prolifers, unwanted pregnancies are not gonna stop just because abortion is banned. NOT HAPPENING. Get a reality check and do the math, who is gonna support 18 million unwanted babies?

The story doesn't end when the child is born, this is reality, not a fairy tale or a movie.
