The Only Legal Abortion Should Be Pro-Life Abortions

A long, long time ago I read a piece called The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion which focused around women who identified themselves as Pro-Life. But when they found themselves in the situation of an unplanned pregnancy at an unideal time, abortion was the right answer for them. Logically turning them into pro-choice advocates, but of course that is something they would never admit to.

Rallying to make something illegal, but in a time of need taking advantage of the service makes one question whether or not these advocates really want abortion to be make illegal.

Enter Tea Party Congressman Scott DesJarlain of Tennessee, who is one of those extremist's in Republican's clothing is making a stir. Recently a news story about Scott and his extra marital affairs made headlines when his mistress, whom he impregnated told her story. A story which included the pro-life Congressman attempting to force his mistress to have an abortion in hopes of hiding their affair.

Let us recap this quickly. Pro-Life Congressman. One of four women he had an affair with. Forced abortion. Pro-life... forced abortion. Something doesn't add up!

Oh right! He wanted to murder his own child because it was with a mistress and not his actual life. So essentially with his line of thinking, abortion is only acceptable when he is trying to cover up a potential mess. He doesn't care about the unborn, he only cares about himself.

Which is how most of these pro-life advocates feel. It isn't about morals or the unborn. It is about forcing the world to live by their morals, and punishing women for their sexual behavior. Unless they are the one who would have to live with the repercussions of not having the said abortion.

Doesn't make much sense right?

When it comes down to it, you don't get to pick and choose which life you want to protect. It is either all or nothing. This includes the born children who so desperately need homes and loving families.

Maybe it is time these pro-lifers start re-evaluating their priorities?
