We don't know where it starts, so where it ends gets easier



Ft. Worth, Texas: Police find the body of a newborn infant along the shore of Eagle Mountain Lake. They are looking for the mother and have asked the public to report anyone who may have recently given birth but has no child.

Pompano Beach, Florida: An 18 year old girl from Iowa gives birth in a hotel bathroom and tosses the baby in a trash chute where it falls 7 stories to its death.

These are not isolated incidents and they are the first shuch stories to be reported. They are becoming more common with each passing day. Such incidents indicate a growing disregard for the value of a human life that is the best argument I have seen against legalized abortion.

Since the passage of Roe v Wade, the argument as to when life begins has been continuous. But the lack of a clear answer has not stopped abortion proponents from pushing the limit as far as possible. Second trimester, third trimester, "partial birth" abortions make it clear that where life begins is not a concern. Is it any wonder that some mothers-to-be see nothing wrong with a "post-partum" abortion?
