Tired of This One
Please forgive my candor, but there is one argument for abortion I am a bit tired of hearing. Last week, in between my speaking engagements in L.A. and Fort Wayne, Indiana (more on these soon), I was once again on the streets of Columbus. A new Created Equal recruit and I walked up to a man looking at our signs to ask his opinion of what he was seeing. In the midst of our conversation, after agreeing to the humanity of the preborn, the man said, "But if they're going to be a burden on society . . ." and let his voice trail off. Though he didn't finish the sentence, the implication was clear: because some children may be born into difficult situations and become a "drain on society," it is better to kill them. The elitism of this assertion is rather astonishing. I can understand the abortion advocate's position when he actually denies the humanity of the preborn. However, it is something else entirely to acknowledge evidence to the contrary yet still
