Taking Abortion to a new level

The argument for abortion is a slippery slope: if it looks like a baby, acts like a baby, but isn’t, then what else can be categorized as “non-human” and therefore without the right to live? The end result is likely to be a society that values humanity based upon individual production; communal worth is the only thing that makes you human.

Do you think I'm taking my argument too far? Here’s proof that I’m not: in Illinois a baby isn’t a baby until it’s been separated from the mother. So, if a mother kills her child before cutting the umbilical cord, is it murder? This case shows how two judges say it isn’t. It’s amazing how far we’ve come and how far down that slippery slope we’ve fallen. I highly recommend you take a minute or two and read the article.

America is in decline. We are in a sad, sad state of existence at this point and I’m not sure our humanity can be recovered. How does a world power like Rome fall? Decay from within.
