Nearly every argument for abortion can be answered in a fairly simple fashion. Whatever the reason for abortion, shouldn't the same reasoning be used to kill a born child? Should the born baby be killed because it interferes with school or work? Should it be destroyed because the parents just can't afford it any more? Should a toddler be murdered because it's not developed like a "normal" child? Of course, the abortion advocate would state that it's not the same because the baby or toddler is already born. By their own admission the baby in the mother's womb can be killed just because it is in another location. Although graphic at times, the following videos are a vivid example of this.

NICE BLOG!
Hey I want to invite you to Http://lifematters.ning.com
and post up a group for your site and we'll put an RSS there for your blog! We're working to increase the pro life movement with strength in numbers so we're calling the culture of life to unity.
How could any person in their right mind make a decision that would terminate the life of a baby with no voice, no faults, no wrongdoings? Have you become so desensitized that you no longer feel compassion? Has God abandoned you on the most barren reaches of the desert? This whole location location argument has me wondering if you have any respect for anything sacred.
you wanted simple so there you have it. simple.
That looks almost identical to a comment that someone wrote on my blog (LaurenJFA.blogspot.com)... Here is the statement and my response.

Wow. In this conversation, you seem to have covered all possible abortion questions, EXCEPT the important one.
What matters is not WHAT the fetus is, but WHERE it is.
Call me an extremist if you like, but I claim the right to absolutely control what and who lives inside my body, and when, and how long.
If all the human beings in the whole wide world--innocent and guilty, unborn and already-born, great and small, rich and poor, high and low, smart and stupid--were assembled somewhere inside my body, then I'd be entitled to holocaust them at will. For any reason or for no reason. That's part of the meaning of the word "my" in the phrase "my body".
So yes, it is a baby, and abortion is homicide. But abortion on demand is JUSTIFIABLE homicide. If something is inside my body, then I'm entitled to have it killed EVEN THOUGH IT'S A BABY.

SoMG,
If I trespassed onto the White house lawn and tried to attack the president, the Secret Service might shoot me. What if I was just thrown onto the White house lawn? Would it be justifiable to kill me then?
If I broke into someone’s house and tried to rob them in the middle of the night, they might shoot me. But, if the owner of the house kidnapped me and brought me there, should he be allowed to kill me then?
If we put someone in a location, can we then kill that person because of his or her location? The child does not get into the womb on his own. He is not a stranger who is encroaching on the woman’s territory.
“Suppose I walked up to a baby making machine and pressed the START button. Would I be responsible for the ensuing child?” - Scott Klusendorf, A Case For Life, 195.
Sex is a baby-making act which places the baby inside the mother’s womb. The child did not force itself or will itself into existence inside the womb. The mother participated in the act that put the child there. Since she has created a person (which you acknowledge is a total human being just like you and me) and created that person’s dependence upon her, she has an obligation to that person.
“Suppose I break my neighbor’s sliding glass door while playing baseball with my sons. Upon inspecting the damage, I reply to my neighbor, Mr. Lopez, ‘I’m sorry that I broke your slider, I really am. But I’m not going to pay for it. You see, I consented to play baseball with my sons, but I did not consent to break your window.’ If I said that, he would think I was completely nuts.” Scott Klusendorf, A Case For Life, 192.
Doesn’t a woman have a responsibility to her child if she engaged in the act of sex which naturally created that child?
