If you think that's bad, how about the recent "report" from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, claiming that a 24-week-old foetus is incapable of feeling pain? This, mind you, in an age when hundreds of premature babies are brought out at 24 weeks and survive, and the mothers - let alone the nurses and doctors - are capable of seeing with their own eyes that the child does in fact feel? To that extent does abortion criminalize the mind of its practitioners and supporters.

Honestly, I do not get why some people are "for" abortion so aggressively. What causes that? Is it driven by evil? (Please note that I don't often use the word "evil", and so it's not the case I'm asking glibly. I really just do not understand at all the mad drive some seem to have about abortion.)

In the case of the RCOG, it is brute self-interest.

Honestly, do doctors over there really make that much money doing abortions?
There are fewer and fewer doctors over here that will work in abortion clinics anymore. Even the docs that have nothing personal against abortions say it doesn't pay well and they don't like to have to deal with the protestors.

There are no protesters in England, but it is true that there are less and less doctors interested in the work - people don't become medics to rip human bodies to bits with suction devices. But the ones who do dominate the institutions, and are correspondingly obstinate and fanatical - as this insult to the public's intelligence shows.

I'm curious--are there no protestors in England because there are no big right to life groups over there, or is protesting banned for some reason?

Because there aren't enough Christians and those who are are terrified. The majority of Britons simply would not understand prayer sessions.

That's really kinda sad...

I reckon I don't understand what kind of self-interest there is in abortion, other than maybe some kind of possible political interest... and even that's a stretch for me to conceive.

Where British instititutions are concerned, you have to imagine permanent insanity fuelled by ever-fostered groupthink. I know that it is not easy for a sane man to imagine.
