Editor,

There was a time in this country, when if a person stood to defend the helpless or defenseless from harm to life or limb, that person would be called “hero”. Today, when helpless, defenseless unborn children are being ripped apart limb from limb, literally, and killed during an abortion, those who try to defend the child from harm are called radicals and our views “too controversial”

When did trying to preserve a human’s life become a controversy? And why? It began in 1973 when the Supreme Court decided it was a woman’s right to have an abortion (destroy her unborn child). And make no mistake about it- an abortion results in the death of an unborn child whether it’s 6 weeks after conception, when the heart starts to beat or 9 months from conception, during the actual birthing process, when it’s called a partial birth abortion. The right to choose should be prior to conception, not after conception.

Since legalized abortion in 1973, an estimated 47 million children have died in the US alone from abortion. In what way would over 1.5 million (per year) new taxpayers, social security contributors, possible scientists, doctors, nurses, blue collar workers, etc., help our current society for the better? How many women would not need psychiatric counseling because they don’t suffer from Post abortion syndrome? If you don’t have an abortion, PAS doesn’t happen!

And please, don’t give me the overpopulation rhetoric! It has been shown that the entire population of the world could fit in the state of Texas with each person having 1500-1800 square feet of living space. That would leave the rest of the entire world for areas to produce food and manufacture products!
