Thank you Cal Thomas; ALL lives matter.
Cal Thomas: Those who chose life don't have regrets
In more than 30 years of speaking at fundraisers for pregnancy help centers, I, too, have heard the stories of women with unplanned pregnancies. Virtually every one who decided to see her pregnancy through and either parent, or place the baby up for adoption, has never regretted it. Women I have met who had an abortion have told me of their deep remorse and being ignorant of alternatives. Some turned to drugs and alcohol or became promiscuous. Many are scarred emotionally, biologically and spiritually.
Robbing so many babies of their "unalienable" right to live has had a corrosive effect on our culture and led to the devaluing of other categories of life. These include street shootings, assisted suicide laws and, soon to come, rationed health care to rid us of the “burdensome” elderly and seriously ill. If some lives don’t matter, then ultimately all lives might be at risk.
Every argument once made in favor of abortion has been answered, from “who will care for the child?” to “who will help the woman after her child is born?” This is what pregnancy help centers do, and they do it without cost, unlike abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood, which profit from women’s difficult circumstances, leading to the question, “Who really cares more about women?”
