I missed this article, “The Abortion Distortion – Just How Pro-choice is America, Really?,” in the New York Magazine, but fortunately Al Mohler didn’t. He wrote this commentary, An Amazing Article on Abortion in New York Magazine, in response.
Both articles are worth reading. That is no endorsement of the views of the New York Magazine article, but I did learn some things from it.
But please also consider this. Dr. Mohler rightly points out that technology like ultrasounds has saved babies who otherwise might have been aborted. Both articles point out that such technologies have turned the argument decidedly in favor of the pro-life movement. We can see, clearly see, human life is developing in the womb. That creates a real problem for abortion supporters.
Except, that is, when the baby has a disability. Then the technologies seem to make the case for abortion. How else are we to understand abortion rates of 60% to 90% for certain disabilities?
The technologies are not at fault. We are not as pro-life as we think.
thank you for posting the links. i appreciated the information.
God be merciful to us all.
