Abortion

In the post George Tiller, Abortionist Murders, and the Richard Dawkins Correlation I considered, amongst other things, some utterly fallacious statements made by Richard Dawkins which I corrected via something he did not bother providing: stats/facts.

On my Examiner.com site I just posted to articles that may be of interest:

In his article Discovery Channel Gunman James Jay Lee Was No Terrorist, psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow states of James Jay Lee—the man who took hostages and was untimately gunned down at the Discovery Channel building—“My guess is that James Lee had become hostage to a psychiatric disorder long before he took hostages.”

Indeed, that seems like the case:

Well, when someone supports the subhuman, inhuman and inhumane brutal dismembering murder of beautiful, healthy, innocent and defenseless human babies you simply cannot expect them to base their view on anything even near the realm of logic (or ethics, for that matter).

The main argument of the pro-abortionist with whom Greg Koukl speaks is that unless you are personally doing something to help those babies after they are born then you have no right to be pro-life.

“One of the UK’s largest abortion providers has announced that the country’s first ever abortion advert is to be screened on national television later this month.”1

Considering the recent events pertaining to the murder of the abortionist George Tiller it seemed timely to revisit and repost this essay from True Freethinker's vaults which pertains to Richard Dawkins, abortion, terrorism, Christianity and radical Islam.
In his book The God Delusion (read it for free here good for using the Ctrl+F function) Professor Richard Dawkins correlates Christians and Islamic terrorists with specific mentions of the Taliban, Osama bin Laden and the perpetrators of the London

12-year-old speaks out on the issue of abortion

Thus reads the title of a YouTube video wherein a brave little girl presented a speech which she prepared for a contest.

During a brief respite from my critique of Rev. Dr. Mel White's assertions about homosexuality, Christianity and the Bible I posted the essay below, on abortion.

Interestingly, this past weekend I read an article that drew a wholly fallacious correlation between homosexuality and abortion. Thus, I thought to make mention of it before continuing on with Rev. Dr. Mel White.

I must admit that I absolutely dreaded reading the article Sacred Abortion. It was given to me over a half year before I wrote this and it has been circa three and a half years since I wrote this. I wrote it and let is lay dormant in my computer. When I first received it I could not bring myself to read it all the way through. Honestly, my reaction when I dug it out of a stack of papers to read it through was, oh no!!!

Whenever Prof. Richard Dawkins, Dan Barker or, apparently, any of the New-Atheist Sect speaks on the issue of abortion and related topics they are sure to demonstrate both poor logic as well as virtual misanthropy (read Prof. Richard Dawkins' views here and his fallacious correlation between abortion and terrorism here.

Richard Dawkins deals with the issue of abortion in a manner that is sadly indicative of the way in which he deals with every subject. He does not tackle the issue in and of itself but merely dispatches his straw man version of the issue. Rather than covering this sensitive and complicated issue he narrowly concocts his own particular, and peculiar, definitions and then discredits what are merely his own caricatures. In fact, he does not define what an abortion is-what it means to "get an abortion" and what the various procedures actually are.
