Is The Abortion Debate Changing?

I read an article in the Denver Post by David Harsanyi titled "Harsanyi: Abortion Debate Changing". I've read some of his articles before because, as he states up front in this article, he's an atheist, is secular and practices moral relativism. So, he provide very good insight into the world view of a person like that and the logic they use to make their agrgument.

This article is very good because he uses very concrete real reasons for oposing abortion. Most pro-abortionists and pro-choicers if they would take the time to think their position through to it's logical end would see that what they support and why they support it has many contradictions.

I'll close with a quote from super model Kathy Ireland which I wrote about in an article called Abortion: Open Mindedness and Reasonable Thinking. In that article the pro-choice Ms. Ireland reversed her position and chose to be pro-life through careful examination of the issue. In her investigation she was confronted by the "is a fetus a human being?" question,

Ireland admitted that she did everything she could to avoid becoming a believer in pro-life. "I called Planned Parenthood and begged them to give me their best argument and all they could come up with that it is really just a clump of cells and if you get it early enough it doesn’t even look like a baby. Well, we’re all clumps of cells and the unborn does not look like a baby the same way the baby does not look like a teenager, a teenager does not look like a senior citizen. That unborn baby looks exactly the way human beings are supposed to look at that stage of development. It doesn’t suddenly become a human being at a certain point in time.
