Abortion

I am puzzled when I read that some politician has a moderate view on abortion. Abortion is killing an unborn child. I can approve this or oppose it, but how can I have “moderate” views about it? Between life and death there is no middle ground. “Death” is not “moderate” in any sense of the word. There is no way to be a little bit “dead.”

Permitting the child to live is the moderate position since it leaves all other options open and possible. Pro-life is not an extreme. Those who target the vulnerable unborn for death are the extremists.
