In the Lon Jacobs article noted earlier by Paul Tuns, the conclusion reminds us why the pro-abortion side is not really about choice and not really neutral, but very much pro-abortion:
In my mind, President Bill Clinton had it about right when he called for abortion to be safe, legal and rare. If that is to be more than just a convenient political spin, we who support a woman’s right to choose should do our part to celebrate the life side of choice.
Of course, so-called pro-choicers cannot celebrate life because to do so would undermine abortion. If the unborn child is a human being and is a life worth celebrating, what possible justification is there for killing it in utero? That’s why safe, legal and rare is sly dodger. If abortion is a morally neutral thing, it shouldn’t matter how much of it there is.
