My letter to the editor last week promoting the 2011 Rally for Life drew nearly 70 comments. Some of these are legitimate questions, and some are not. This is my response to those comments. And how many unwanted kids have you adopted,Mr Tibbs? This is a common pro-abortion fallacy, that unless someone has adopted a baby they are not qualified to speak to the issue. But no one would make the same argument to people who have not adopted a pet from the animal shelter, when that person is arguing against dogfighting or animal abuse. Either the unborn are human beings who deserve protection under the law or they are not. That, not adoption, is the real argument.
