Caring About and Defending Life

Michelle Malkin takes apart one of the favorate criticisms the pro-abortion crowd levels at pro-life Christians, "We only care about children before they're born and not afterwards."

Perhaps this is why the mainstream media has ignored the amazing stories of pro-life activists who have been keeping vigil outside Terri Schiavo's hospice--people like Steve and Tony Sakac, the Withey family, and the Anderson sisters who won't ever appear on the front page of the New York Times or Washington Post.

And it explains why the MSM has ignored the humanitarian work of the Life Legal Defense Foundation and the life-affirming of evangelical groups such as Joni and Friends, which advocates for the disabled.

Among the many antagonistic emails I receive each day, this is probably the most prevalent complaint related to this blog's stand against abortion. Besides being based upon a false assumption, the criticism itself is presented in the form of a logical fallacy.
