I'm tired of polarizing abortion discussions that don't acknowledge the ambiguity of this difficult issue. The prolife movement is paralyzed by profound disagreement, laziness, and hypocrisy. Half of it believes that artificial birth control is evil, a good portion of them would enforce rape victims to carry children to term, and a great most of them won't adopt children in foster care who need loving, stable families. Adopting a kid is inconvenient in most cases. It takes commitment and selflessness.
If prolifers were given their way, we'd be overrun with orphans like in Nikolai Ceausescu's Romania. Probirth fetishism is just as sick as death fetishism.
Because of these issues, even the current debate on fetal body parts trading won't gain the pro life movement much ground. They always think they can change the entire debate by overemphasizing one grisly sliver of the problem, such as when partial birth abortion was the big topic. It never works that way.
