It is bewildering to consider.

That being said, I will go out on a limb here and state that there are some people who are sincere in their belief that abortions essentially kill a living person. I don't agree with that idea, so please do not jump down my throat because I have known a few people whose beliefs could be genuinely described as "pro-life."

I have also known many more hypocrites who come up with reasons why their own unplanned pregnancies were "properly" ended and then years later show up to protest Planned Parenthood Clinics.

Back when I was involved with Campus Life, Youth For Christ, one college age- "Sister in the Lord" told me that she didn't really have an abortion, she was just injected with something that made the pregnancy go away. She was given the money for the injection by a "Brother in the Lord" who was very understanding towards her since his high-school age girl friend had not one, but two, abortions.

But, hey, premarital sex is a sin and using birth control makes it clear that you were planning to sin, not just "carried away" in the moment.
