On Abortion

I've probably written this article before.

Abortion is one of the greatest scourges ever. The idea that killing an innocent, potentially (if not definitely) sentient life form on the excuse of convenience is always wrong.

What abortion allows is casual sex, prostitution, and other immoral acts with the only repercussion being... what exactly? Intense psychological damage, not to mention potential physical damage (still unclear). Therefore, even in any case, abortion is wrong.

Abortion kills an innocent baby with no chance to defend itself and leaves, in its place, a couple pounds of "biowaste", or whatever they've taken to calling it. An unborn infant is still an infant.

Would that be because emotional arguments are so much easier to make than well-reasoned ones?

Yes, I am sure it is. It just doesn't have quite the ring to it when people admit to the ambiguity of the issue and remove all their irrelevant presumptions.

I doubt it was made by a victim of abortion. That is why they are called silent screams.

Here's a good example. It assumes a abortion has a victim, and uses a oxymoron for an emotional appeal.
