Abortion is immoral if we place a value on human life. If you are pro-choice, this blog post will be like nails on a chalkboard. I've found that most atheists are pro-choice, which doesn't seem reflective of a group of individuals that claim to be 'thinkers'. I believe atheists are pro-abortion (pro-abortion = pro-choice) because many of them are overly objective, and are unable to understand the value of human life beyond its superficial appearance. The matter that makes up a human being is surely not what gives it its value (the matter that makes up each person can't be worth more than $10)—no, it is potential and joy of experience that gives life its value. Pro-abortionists argue their case by dehumanizing (by objectifying) human life by labeling it as 'a mere ball of cells' or 'just a fetus'. Pro-abortionists refuse to think of human life as being human life (which is obviously delusional).
Pro-abortionists often point to how millions of sperm die on a regular basis, and that each one of them is a 'potential human life' in the same way that an embryo or fetus is (similar argument is made using the eggs). Again, this is an attempt to minimize the disgusting act of having an abortion (the killing of offspring). And it's a poor argument. It's like saying that a bullet and gunpowder are completely harmless—ignoring the fact that if the gunpowder is in a copper shell with a bullet, it has the potential to kill. Alone, the sperm and egg are not a potential human life, but when combined, the product is. Human life is more than the cells that make it up. It is the potential of pleasurable experience that makes life worth living (it is why we work and sacrifice), and to get an abortion is to deny an entire life—typically for the sake of convenience.
Pro-abortionists—I tend to find—are immature and illogical (at least when confronted with pro-lifers). Here is a good example of this. In this video there is an off-duty police officer spraying pro-lifers (who are doing a peaceful demonstration) with water and vinegar

This probably would have been a bigger issue if it was a pro-lifer spraying pro-abortionists during one of their demonstrations. Gotta love the media bias. This incident occurred in Ventura California, and according to a news report, no charges were filed. However there is some "internal investigation" within the police department.
Wow! This was such a nice article. I do really love to put more comments in here.
