Babies in Boxes

Ignoring the bizarre-ness of this story for a moment, I have a question for the PRO-CHOICE readers of this forum:

Morally speaking, what is the difference between what this woman did and what goes on in abortion clinics day after day throughout the Western World?

We all know that Our Beloved President, when a member of the Illinois legislature, refused to vote on a bill to outlaw what has euphemistically been called, "partial-birth abortion," and presumably he found nothing wrong with the practice.

So compare the moral rectitude of an abortionist doctor who from time to time performs one of these procedures - let's say six (6) of them in total, and what this lady did - strangling and suffocating 6 of her children immediately AFTER birth?

Dangd if I can see any difference at all. Mass murder, any way you look at it.

NOTE: The question pertains to the morality of the two, not the legality of the processes.

Yours it what is known as a loaded question. You've already decided that a doctor who performs a "partial birth abortion" is no different than a woman who kills her own newborn baby. So what you are really asking is for someone to defend what you've determined to be an immoral act.

You might as well have asked, "Why do you think it is okay to kill babies?"

I'll respond to your question after I tell you when I stopped beating my wife.
