A very good friend of mine is a surgeon from Florida. His office was beside an abortion clinic. He told me the story of going to and from work every day watching the protesters on both sides. He and his wife were born again Christians. They'd pray for the women and hoped they'd see the error of their ways and prayed for God's mercy upon them.

He told me that one day at lunch, the crowd wasn't too big and he went over, sort of called to go over, and talked to some of the pro-Abortion protesters. He wanted to know what motivated them to support something he found fundamentally wrong.

During the discussion, one of the women said something that stuck in his mind and he took it home to his wife, and then they both took it to God in prayer. The woman told my friend something along the lines of, well if they don't kill the babies, are you going to adopt one to support or complain when you have to support it on welfare?

Well, they later adopted three. The point, he told me, wasn't that they had changed his mind about abortion being right or wrong. The point was he saw he wasn't doing anything to help the problem and personally took it upon himself to help a child and a mother. He said his children are living proof abortion is wrong, but he put his beliefs into action.

He said supporting abortions didn't solve the wrongs presented by his beliefs against abortion. Just like supporting assistance to the poor doesn't solve the problems of the poor. Getting the government involved and taking money from people in the form of taxation to solve a problem doesn't make sense to me anymore than supporting taxpayer assistance to those in need of better health care or better public education or housing to solve the problem.

It just doesn't make sense to me how throwing money at a problem and growing government helps.
