Millions murdered under law's auspices

I am a partisan. I have firm beliefs and hold some principles sacred that I do not wish to compromise. Others feel differently.

I maintain they are wrong and I will continue to work to change established laws that I disagree with.

I believe Roe v. Wade legalizes murder. I think it is insanity to be allowed to abort a healthy fetus for any reason. I have no objection to the use of birth control but an abortion, whether by coat hanger or by Planned Parenthood, is pure murder.

I am specifically using the term murder hoping to traumatize anybody contemplating having an abortion. Conception itself is very near magical. In that moment of conception, a new human being forms and you need but wait nine months for proof of its humanity.

It’s so specious as to be ridiculous to contend a difference exists between a fetus at term on one side of a birth canal and the infant just after making that short journey.

Millions of innocent lives have been aborted under the auspices of Roe v. Wade. During that time thousands of adults that have committed heinous crimes sit in comfortable prisons because we cannot bring ourselves to end their miserable lives.

Yes, I’m one of those nasty partisans and yet I also believe there are far too many people in this world.
