Bad company....

There are nine nations that permit abortion after twenty weeks: Canada, China, Great Britain, North Korea, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Vietnam, and the United States.

But the U.S., China, North Korea, and Canada are the only four nations in the world that allow the killing of a child after viability (usually calculated at twenty-four weeks) for any reason, or for no reason at all.

In politics you are known by the company you keep.  The USA is in some bad company.  Canada, too.  Why on earth would we want to be grouped with the likes of North Korea or China when it comes to matters of life and death?

Scandalous, indeed.  Okay, all you smug pro-choicers out there... Do you think this makes us progressive or just plain stupid?

I think it makes us sinful under the guise of being "progressive." It's interesting to think that the US has always touted "women's rights"... but look how we now look like China and North Korea, communist countries who have a habit of devaluing their citizens, especially women/children. Some women's rights movement we have!

Well, we have the same philosophy of education that those other countries have, so why would we be surprised when our policy/decision makers come up with the same results? While praying and holding a sign outside a child killing center this morning, I was loudly cursed by at least two passersby. Lord, have mercy.

Here in the State of Victoria, Australia, our former left-wing State government (we call them the Labour party) changed the law in 2008 to effectively allow abortions for any reason right up to birth! It's claimed to be the most radical pro-abortion legislation in the world. There was a change in government and now we have a conservative State government. There are moves afoot to reverse the legislation, but this is hampered by concerns that even in this the formerly conservative Liberal Party, there may not be the votes needed.
