Good morning Chris
What I find much more difficult, and may merit some discussion here on the thread, is forced abortion carried out in a medically safe and appropriate way as a means of population control.

I'm not sure that I follow the reasoning for your quandary. I think it fails to deal with the basic question of the humanity of the unborn. For instance would your quandary remain if it were babies under say six months of age that were the target? How about Six days old? I guess the question I have is why is it presumably alright to kill a baby even in the act of being delivered, as in partial birth abortion, but five minutes later that baby is "granted" the full protection of the law and all the rights associated with that.

As far as the idea that this is necessitated by over population, I think I would challenge that basic assertion as well. There is lots of food, and lots of space left on this planet. How interesting that feminists, fail to recognize that so much abortion in the third world is done for the purpose of de-selecting and killing of girls.

Have a good day.
I enjoy reading your posts.
Greg
