This is an interesting explanation of Klavan’s conversion to “pro-life”, however, how can anyone believe killing an unborn baby is “liberating, empowering”?

“Okay, aborting a baby might be liberating, empowering and convenient. It might even dramatically improve the future course of your life. But the same could be said about murdering your wife if she’s a big enough pain in the neck. That doesn’t give you the right to do it, and it doesn’t make it the right thing to do.”

Is “after-birth abortion” also “liberating, empowering”?

“‘So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief,’ said Rep. Jim Boyd. ‘If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?’

‘We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician,’ said Planned Parenthood lobbyist Snow.

Is Obama’s support of abortion-surviving babies being left to die also “liberating, empowering”?

“In 2008, Obama’s campaign repeatedly claimed that he opposed the bill because it was unnecessary, since Illinois law already provided protection for infants born alive. However, as Ramesh Ponnuru pointed out on NRO at the time, this extended only to babies whom physicians deemed to have “sustainable survivability.” Thus infants who were not expected to survive could be killed or left unattended to die. Obama, Ponnuru wrote, “did not want the gap filled.” (The National Right to Life Committee has a report on Obama, Illinois’s legal loophole, and its horrific consequences here.)”

Call it whatever you want to make it sound better, Obama & Planned Parenthood support infanticide. Women are never liberated or empowered by killing their children, in fact, women who’ve had abortions have a much higher incidence of depression & suicide ( Finland a six-fold increased rate of deaths from suicide,  Wales 225 percent more likely to commit suicide,  America 160 percent higher ).  Words have meaning. Facts are facts.
