Has anyone changed stances on Abortion, either for or against?

[Comrade Obamov]

I've always been pro-life and in fact have been involved with the issue in a crisis pregnancy ministry for the past 20 years.

In various world and social issues I have studied over the past decades I have discovered a way to judge whether something is right or wrong. It is that while there is a great temptation at times for us to do evil, good is ultimately more lasting and therefore more desirable. So you can judge by the ebb and flow of people and their ideas to see which side is the right one. This was true for Communism with vast numbers of people trying to escape to the West while extremely few, mostly spies and (in the 20's and 30's) idealistic dreamers, went the other way. People changed in their ideas from Communism to anti-communism, not vice versa.

The same is true for abortion. Very few people who are pro-life change to "pro-choice", or, more accurately, pro-abortion. Those that do typically have never been involved with the issue, and most often are in favor of birth control, including abortifacients. So they weren't genuinely pro-life in the first place. Virtually none who are involved in the pro-life movement change sides. But the same is not true for the other side. Norma McCorvey, the Roe of Roe v. Wade, changed sides. So did Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a founder of the National Abortion Rights Action League and a former abortionist who aborted tens of thousands of babies, including his own child. Numerous abortionists and abortion clinic personnel, right on down to the security guards, have abandoned their jobs and switched to pro-life.

Now not all issues are as strictly good/evil as abortion. Gun control, for example, has good people with moral arguments on both sides. In the end the honest people on both sides just want to stop crime, they just have different ways of going about it. So there can be more ebb and flow. Same with the death penalty. But for abortion, the pro-aborts have to demote the value of the human life in the womb in order to support their arguments, and this is the latest version of a tired old way that human beings have tried in history to advance an agenda. If a group of people are in the way of what we are trying to accomplish, we deny their humanity and enslave or exterminate them. It happened with slaves in the South, it happened with the Nazis and the Jews in Germany. Today it is with the preborn. But just as those examples of denying humanity look ridiculous today, so science is increasingly showing that the preborn are indeed fully human and showing how ridiculous the arguments for abortion are. Just as children today ask in school why the Nazis murdered the Jews, hopefully the children in the future will ask why we murdered our own. As longer lasting good does ultimately prevail, I trust that someday this will come to pass.

Edit: WHOA! Just looked at your link. Think anybody "pro-choice" will read it? Explains it better than I ever could! Shows how, indeed, good is longer lasting and more desirable than evil.
