Abortion and Choice

Good thoughts by John Mark Reynolds on abortion and liberty (i.e., "choice"). (Note: What follows is three separate quotations, not one long quotation):

Every aborted baby looks alike, but every child allowed to live becomes absolutely unique. Abortion crushes liberty for the sake of a single choice—it ends possibility with the cruel actuality of murder.

The right to control over one’s own body ends at the other person’s body. Here, advances in technology have given Americans a window on the womb and knowledge which the authors of Roe did not have. The unborn child is not merely an organ of the mother’s body. Science is at war with the reasoning of Roe.

Liberty always loses when the weak lose rights for the benefit of the stronger... History [does not] suggest that social equality for a group is best gained by suppressing a different group.
