We Hate to Say, We Told You So. But

From the day the battle over abortion began, the pro-life movement has been saying that repeat abortions are a natural and logical progression of the pro-choice mentality.  Unfortunately, a new study by the research arm of Planned Parenthood – the operator of America’s largest chain of abortion mills – reveals that we have been right all along.

Statistics released by the Alan Guttmacher Institute show that repeat abortions are on the rise and that about half of all abortions in the U.S. are now done on women who have had at least one previous abortion.  That is up from about 40 percent just a few years ago.  We have also seen other research indicating that it is no longer uncommon for women to have several abortions.

This new information should surprise no one.  After all, watch any serial killer interviewed on television and you will hear him say that killing becomes easier each time it’s done.  It would be illogical to think that this phenomenon does not apply to moms killing their own babies.

For the pro-choice crowd, these latest revelations have created a public relations minefield.  Remember, since before Roe vs. Wade, these people have always said that abortion is never used as birth control and that women use it responsibly and only in the rarest of circumstances.  For them to now defend the practice of women having repeat abortions would confirm the fact that they’ve been lying all these years.  

In an effort to dodge that admission and appear reasonable to the average person, the abortion lobby’s damage control strategy is to give the illusion that even they don’t support women having multiple abortions.  The good news is that their new position is illogical, dishonest and easily exposed.

Imagine that five individual women had their first abortions today, and a sixth woman had her fifth abortion.  According to the abortion lobby’s newly concocted standard, what the five women did is okay but the sixth woman’s behavior is unacceptable.  The obvious flaw is that, in both cases, the same number of abortions happened.  In other words, by the abortion industry’s macabre reasoning, it is acceptable for five women to kill five children but not acceptable for one woman to kill five children.

There is also a second philosophical question raised by the abortion industry’s contrived concern over repeat abortion.  Simply put, if elective abortion is morally defensible, and if it is not the taking of an innocent human life, then what is the basis for saying it is wrong for a woman to have 10 or 20 or a 100 of them?  Abortion is either right or it’s not, and how frequently it occurs has no bearing on that question. 

The bottom line is, it is naked hypocrisy for the choice mafia to sell abortion as a constitutional right which protects women and then, for political cover, condemn women who freely – or even repeatedly – exercise that right.  It is also dishonest.  For these people to claim that they are uncomfortable with women having multiple abortions is as phony as it would be if the CEO of General Motors claimed to be uncomfortable with people buying more than one car.   

So don’t be deceived.  The only people in America unhappy about repeat abortions are the same ones unhappy about first-time abortions.  That would be you and me.  As for our enemies, a pregnant woman can walk into any one of their death camps and say she is there for her 15th abortion and the only thing that would keep her feet out of the stirrups is a lack of money.  And you can bet the family farm that the killing of her latest baby would not cause the hired killers to lose one moment’s sleep.
