To the Editor:
After reading J.J. Babb’s article (Dec. 22, “Abortion apathy
unacceptable”), I feel I may be able to answer some of her
concerns. Our generation is realizing what the unborn is. The
unborn is a human being. Some may argue that a fetus is too small
to be a human, but children are small and are still considered
humans. Others argue that since a fetus is dependent on its mother
it isn’t a human being. New babies can’t survive on their own, at
least not for more than a few hours. A final argument pro-choice
makes contends that abortion is okay if it is used to save a
mother’s life. It is a slippery path to put more value on a
mother’s life than her unborn child’s. How can we judge which life
is worth more? Ultimately our generation is beginning to see the
unborn, though small and dependent, as a human being worthy of
protection and a chance at life. Ms. Babb argues that our
government is fighting against our generation, but I believe the
government is fighting for the generation of the unborn.
