Abortion rights or civil rights? We can't have it both ways

Abortion rights or civil rights? We can't have it both ways | The News-Sentinel - Fort Wayne IN: If terminating a “fetus” has no more moral and medical significance than removing an appendix or lifting a sagging body part, why should anybody think twice about who is being aborted, or why? Why should anybody care that early prenatal gender tests have already led to increased abortions of girls in places like India and China? For that matter, why should anybody care that African-American infants are being aborted at a rate that far exceeds the percentage of blacks in the general population?

Having to choose between supporting abortion on demand and defending the rights of women and minorities presents a moral paradox for the more politically correct among us.
