It’s curious that they knew the biological facts back then and now, despite great advances in knowledge of the biological truth that the fetus is simply a small, developing child, that we have unfettered killing today.
Uh, you do realize that nobody has ever denied this, right? It’s quite obvious that a fetus is alive. But a blade of grass is alive too, and how many of those do you step on every day? You probably wouldn’t do it if they were sentient, but people wouldn’t get abortions if it meant killing a feeling creature either.

WOW – I suggest you send that to Michael Ignatieff & Prime Minister Harper – just to stir the pot a little, eh?

Although the paragraph dealing with abortion is refreshingly honest, doesn’t anyone notice the other misinformation in this handout?
“The method your doctor prescribes for you is completely harmless.”
and –
“birth control cannot hurt you in any way.”
Now that was really some wishful thinking!
