I still hate to hear it called "freedom of choice." That makes it sound as though there are no consequences for choosing to end another life.

For all those who support abortion rights, consider:

Imagine that you heard that in some town in this country, the citizens were killing off all the mentally handicapped people once it was determined they were too large a burden on their families. If you believed this was wrong, wouldn't you try to help these people as best you could?

That's exactly what pro-life supporters are trying to do - protect those who can't protect themselves.

A first trimester fetus = a mentally handicapped person? There is a logical extension/jump there that is not exactly parallel.
