Its easy to see how abortion on demand is changing the way society looks at children. If children are expendable before birth, it is only logical that they begin to be seen as expendable after birth. Some bio-ethicists even suggest that parents be given a few weeks after their baby is born to decide if they want to keep or "abort" their newborn child. When mothers are given the legal right to dispose of their babies before birth, that very well could influence the way they see their children after birth. Since unborn children in America today have no rights to life beyond the affections of their mother, what happens to these children after birth, when the affections of their mother suddenly turns on them? Of the 5,000 born children who are killed annually in this nation, ninety-five percent are killed at the hands of one or both of their own parents.
Fundamentally, abortion teaches us that violence is an acceptable way to deal with the burden of children. The corresponding increase in American child abuse indicates that this is a lesson we are learning all too well.
