The unborn: no life is so legally unprotected, and so frequently destroyed

The Unborn Paradox in the New York Times yesterday. Beautiful op-ed by Ross Douthat

Mr. Douthat notes the famous Clinton line, that said abortion should be "safe and legal, but also rare" isn't true when one in five pregnancies end in abortion. I read something else recently that made that same observation.

Abortion isn't rare because we have normalized abortion, we promote abortion and we celebrate abortion.

Douthat ends his article with this:
"This is the paradox of America’s unborn. No life is so desperately sought after, so hungrily desired, so carefully nurtured. And yet no life is so legally unprotected, and so frequently destroyed."
