While I'm for choice, this last sentence is grotesque. It recalls the some
of the feminist takes in the early 70s that what is removed in an abortion
is no different than a tumor or unwanted growth.

Clearly, Luke, you have yet to see your child's heart beating when it is
still legal to abort him or her. If and when you do, you might wish to
remember what you said here.
