If you’ve never gotten an abortion proponent to argue for the idea that a child killed by abortion is better off dead than being born into a difficult life, you may not be having enough conversations with abortion proponents.
They usually offer this as a last ditch effort after all of their other “good” and “rational” arguments are destroyed by sound reasoning from the Bible and biological sciences (not to mention the Constitution).
Then they make their last ditch effort by appealing to our compassion for the child by painting a picture that every baby not killed by abortion will be born into terrible circumstances, abuse, violence, rape, drugs, criminality, and a lifetime on government assistance and jail sentences.
So for the sake of the baby – and the taxpayer who must pay for his government assistance and jail time (because the reason we’re all pro-life is we’re fiscal conservatives, right?), we’re all better off by killing the baby before he’s born, is the argument we hear almost as often as ‘the clump of cells’ argument.
What Representative Eastman did here is to ask the same question, but without revealing the abortion context.
Had Eastman revealed the full context of his question, do you think he would have gotten a straight answer from Mr. Storrs?
Of course not.
But as you can see in the video below, Mr. Storrs was more than glad to show the hypocrisy of the Abortion Lobby and a worldview that is devoid of God and sees value in the lives of children only after they are born – and as you’ll see, only as units of economic cost or production.
