If parents can tell abortionists to take the lives of their children, why are we surprised when they just skip the middleman and do it themselves?

     In L.A., a man fatally shot his wife, five young children and himself because he was upset over his job. (Click to read full story

     Using pro-abortion "logic," I would like to defend this man's actions (please feel free to oppose the listed arguments and explain why the argument does not work in this man's case, but does work in the case of a woman attempting to kill her child, or abortion).

     1) This was family business and a privacy issue; note to society: butt out/worry about your family/don't tell this man how to manage his family/insert any other "Keep your laws/values out of my life!"-excuse here.

     2) This man felt that he had a valid reason for killing: he no longer had any reason to live, and he felt the authority to decide that his child (children) were better off dead. 

     3)  At what age is killing not permissible? For example, when an unborn child is, say, six months in the womb, it is permissible to kill him. Is this man's case "worse" because two of his victims were 2-year-old twins? Why were these twins more "valuable"? Since abortion requires the twisting of the definition of the word "person," who is to say that the definition of  "person" includes children? Why aren't "persons" adults only? Why are the unborn eliminated from the definition of the word "person"?

     4) This didn't hurt you, so why do you care? Again, butt out.

     5) "Why leave the children to a stranger?" the man wrote. He obviously didn't want to leave his children with strangers, so he thought killing them was the alternative.  Adoption is always a better alternative to killing "unwanted" children. I assume all parentless children, if given the choice, would rather have been allowed the chance to live instead of having been aborted.    

     6) The man despaired and thought he had no other options: "Oh lord, my God, is there no hope for a widow's son?" Who are we to pretend to know his problems? Why don't we try walking in his shoes? Every man has to make the choice that is right for him.

     Now, of course, I am only trying to make a point. I completely disagree with all of the above twisted statements in both this man's case and in the case of abortion. The man needed support and help just as a frightened, pregnant woman needs support and help.  Who knows what his children and all aborted children may have grown up to do?

     Ultimately, when we twist laws to bend to our needs, even to the point of killing for "our own, personal reasons," and having to redefine the definition of "human being" to fit this need, we can hardly point a finger at another person for merely doing the same thing.
