ANTI-LIFE (via Mike Daley):

Abortion clinic objects to planned childcare centre (news.com.au, July 20, 2004)

A PERTH abortion clinic objected to plans for a childcare centre on a neighbouring property because the sight of children might upset its
patients.

Marie Stopes International Australia, which operates the clinic in the
eastern suburb of Midland, objected to the development of the childcare
centre on an adjoining block.

In an objection lodged with the City of Swan, the clinic operators said the
sight and sound of children playing in a neighbouring property might cause
emotional strain for women considering terminating a pregnancy.


People in Korea have no problem choosing which dog they'll be served for dinner, nor diners in Maine with picking their own lobster.

This puts a lie to the "it's only tissue" line.

People who grow up on farms have no problem with eating animals they've raised, either. I knew a dairy farm family that named all their cows, with calves being raised for slaughter given names like "Steak" and Hamburger" to drive their different status home.

I wonder if Raoul's cow-names would work for humans...

"Hi, I'm Unviable Jones, and these are my friends, Tissue Mass Newcastle and Failed Reduction Ali. Welcome to the 'Oops, Not Aborted' support group..."

...Maybe not.

This story fits right is with the old pro-life saw about being in a room with Hitler, Stalin, an abortionist, a gun and two bullets--one shoots the abortionist twice.
