An article in yesterday's Boston Globe entitled, "The problem with an almost-perfect genetic world," included this:
Supporters of abortion are especially wary of wading into a discussion over the ethics of prenatal testing, lest they be seen as playing into the opposing side in the fraught national debate over abortion rights.The topic was a November 10 announcement in The New England Journal of Medicine of reliable prenatal screening for handicaps that can be conducted earlier in the pregnancy.
This means moms will be able to abort defective babies sooner rather than later, which is good. (Although we're told abortions are safer than eating an ice cream cone, early abortions must be 110% safe as opposed to 100% later.)
The fact that pro-aborts don't want to talk about this surprises me and is useful information. After all, "fetal anomalies" is one of the big four reasons pro-aborts use to keep abortion on demand legal (the other three being rape/incest and health and life of the mother).
So let's talk about it. On my blog are compelling points to ponder, many surprisingly brought forth in the BG piece.
