Abortions are not "killing a child". That's a huge lie. Early term abortions especially are not even close to such a thing. Saying such a thing turns science on its head and assumes that some fertilized egg is a "human being". What's next, claiming that sperm cells are humans? It's just ridiculous and again goes to the rightwing's real goal of abolishing sexual freedom because they are so ashamed of sex themselves.

Very late term abortions are so rare as to make them irrelevant. So are the only ones which could in any way be called "killing a human". They're usually only carried out to save the life of a mother. An awful choice but very-very rare.

Let me tell you what kills children. Starvation, toxic pollution, disease, bombs, war, poverty, guns, crime.

Of the above list, which ones are the rightwingers in the US fighting to stop? Some maybe to a degree, but Bushies actually defend pollution, try to cut foreign aid to poverty-stricken nations, diss the UN, start wars, hike up drug prices to stop disease and by dissing sex education and birth control, they actually create mjore abortions than they prevent. This has been proven by recent stats.
