I Wish I'd Said That
P.J. O'Rourke
"Thou shalt not kill." Why, in the opinion of jerks, is it wrong to kill a baby but all right to kill a baby that's so little he hasn't been born yet? And why do the same jerks who favor abortion oppose the death penalty? We can imagine people so full of loving kindness that they can accept neither the abortionist nor the executioner. We can even imagine people so cold-hearted that they embrace them both. But it takes a real jerk to argue in favor of killing perfect innocents and letting Terry Nichols live.

I'm not sure either Gindy. There is, of course situations where abortions are needed. But not whole sale slaughter to the tune of 40,000,000 babies in 32 years
