Schneider’s article on abortion blandly states that the issue is one of faith versus reason.
I read the article curious to see how one could “reason” to a pro-abortion stance and explain the scientific facts regarding the life, humanity and early viability of the fetus as “faith.”

Schneider has it backwards as is evidenced by the concentration of pro-abortion arguments onthe emotional issues of rape and incest when, in fact, 98% of the 1.5 million abortions a year in the United States involve neither.
