- It seems obvious to me that the availability of abortion didn't
- prevent the deaths of these children. These children were killed
- because their parents didn't place a value on human life, much in
- the same way as people who support abortion rights.

-
- There are several errors in your statements; the most obvious is
- that an 8 week-old child has a brain.
-
- Secondly, you offer a false dichotomy between killing the child
- when it's legal, and when it's illegal. No child has to be killed.
-
- And what you would rather have happen, didn't happen. You can
- wish that these children had been legally killed, but your wishes
- can't turn back the hands of time.
