Such As These

One morning last week I ran across this article from the AP. It tells the most unbelievable story about the bodies of approximately 2,000 aborted babies hidden away in a Buddhist temple in Bangkok.......

It seems that abortion is actually illegal in Bangkok (and these bodies were ostensibly from illegal abortions), but there are three tiny exceptions that allow a "legal" abortion: "Abortion is illegal in Thailand except under three conditions — if a woman is raped, if the pregnancy affects her health or if the fetus is abnormal."

Oh. Alright. If a woman is raped, we kill the baby (stunning logic). If the pregnancy causes the mother any health problems, we kill the baby (You harm me, I kill you - does this argument have any merit in any other circumstance???) . If the baby is abnormal (that is, if the child might be born with a congenital defect that would require the parents to give it extra special care and attention), we kill the baby. None of this makes sense, nor will it ever. I'm tired of it. Really tired. Some day, there will be no more abortions and this despicable evil will never be thought of again.
