Fanatical

I've been wanting to do a post on abortion vs pro-life for a couple of weeks now but every time I sit down to write something I get so angry I have to walk away from it. I think I was probably 16 or 17 when I first heard about abortion - a long time ago, and remembering how apalled and shocked I was. The feeling has never left. At times I honestly wish I could become just as indifferent and apathetic to the situation as many American's have become. It just won't happen.

To me this is a very black and white issue, with no shades of gray. I can't even think about abortion without the graphic images coming into my mind. These graphic images were there the minute I heard about abortion, long before the Right To Life posters emerged to shock people into seeing what abortion really is. The graphic images is exactly what abortion is. Let's keep it real here.

So this morning I'm reading this aricle and wondering if I'm a fanatic. So I went to the dictionary and looked up fanatic and this is the definition:

marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion

Yes, I've determined I'm an anti-abortion fanatic. I can live with that. It's a damn shame thousands upon thousands will never get the chance.

It does give me some peace that at least some of the babies are getting a burial rather than ending up in a biohazard dump to be forever forgotten by the apathetic.
