So I’ve been reading and hearing a lot of people talking about this torture business and how they want to prosecute the last Administration for doing it. Critics and politicians of GWB want him to be put on trial as a war criminal.
They want this because it’s inhumane to torture terrorists. They find it repugnant, evil, and wicked. Waterboarding is a terrible thing to do and it should be stopped immediately. How dare the government and covert operations make foreigners endure torturous drowning. It’s inhuman, vile, and totally un-American. Scores of hostile prisoners have been treated badly and it has to stop.
Meanwhile, during 2008, over a million innocent American babies have been stabbed through the brain, vacuumed out of the womb, torn apart limb by limb, or left to painfully, coldly and slowly die on a surgical table.
Get real people! Abortion makes waterboarding look like a summer sport.
Warning!!!! - www.abortionno.org has a graphic video of an abortion that America does not want to see.

I understand your complete revulsion at the practice of abortion. I really do! I don't applaud the taking, or the torturing, of human life. My opposition to these practices is not primarily political, but Christian. After all, Jesus was a victim of torture.
Is it possible to recognize the difference between what is (almost!) universally seen as torture and abortion?
Even if we fall short, almost every nation says torture is illegal. One need not have any particular political position, as proven by Ronald Reagan, to insist that, wherever they are, torture should be legally prosecuted. We're only abiding by our law, our treaties, and international law.
I'm no fan of rancor. To me, it just seems we're setting an extremely dangerous example for other countries who have a more tenuous human rights record.
Thanks Sheltie for your considered response. With so many people complaining about torture, I wanted to use the issue to make them more aware of torturous abortion procedures.
If we abhor, quite rightly, what happens to terrorists and political prisoners in our care, then should also apply the same revulsion to the inhumane practice of abortion.
