Columnist analyzes celebration of abortion

CWN - January 20, 2012

Writing for The American Spectator, George Neumayr examines the willingness of some to celebrate abortion as a laudable act.

“You don’t have to argue that abortion stops a beating heart,” says abortionist Merle Hoffman. “It does.”

“With my choice I was fighting for the right of all women to define abortion as an act of love: love for the family one already has, and just as important, love for oneself. I was fighting to reclaim abortion as a mother's act. It was an act of solidarity as significant as any other I had committed.”
