The assertion is "controversial" but entirely serious. I also don't think it's in the least bit wacky, but something we should consider.
Let's analyze some definitions:
Abortion means to stop a process. In this context it means to "abort" a human life. The term is already politically imbued, the very term used to define what's-going-on is slanting the debate. It's assuming that what's being aborted isn't fully human, but is in process to becoming such.
Pro-Choice tries to take it one step further back. It doesn't even want people to think about the act of "abortion" (which, as we just mentioned, is tilting the debate in favor of such an action), but simply means "in favor of 'abortion'".
The thing is, these rather vomitrocious terms are extremely misleading. They're defining the entire debate on assumptions that go unquestioned - that is exactly why they're used and promoted by the media. No matter which "side" you're on, you're playing by an anti-Christian, liberal worldview.
The same terms could, quite realistic, be used to justify murdering almost any non-adult human. That is, the fetus is in a process of becoming a baby, the baby a child, the child an adolescent, the adolescent an adult... at anytime this process could be "aborted" before full adulthood is achieved. Of course, it's only legal to do so at this time before the human has left the womb - but this is entirely arbitrary. There is no reason, from a leftist viewpoint, that abortion couldn't occur at anytime.
Killing the unborn is also incorrect. Killing is often used to refer to justified death, such as in wartime, or self-defense, or towards a violent animal.
We are literally talking about murder. That is, murdering a human. By definition, murder applies to one who is innocent. I think every Christian must agree with this point. The media only escapes the argument by redefining terms, and playing a little dance to justify what has always been regarded as murder.
My real question though, is are we talking about sacrifice? Those horrible practices that, everyone agrees, only vicious backwards people used to practice... is that what society as a whole is doing, right now?
Well, historically people tended to sacrifice their children in the hopes of receiving some sort of this-worldly gain. To appease vengeful Gods, to stop the drought, etc. So are people today murdering their children for a this-worldly gain, because someone in authority (historically a priestly-like pretender) is telling them to?
Yes, people today are murdering their children, because people in authority are telling them to, to receive specific this worldly benefits - lower costs, more free time to pursue hedonistic activities, or career (again more money), or maybe to stop global warming (remember how those really stupid people thought they could stop drought? I'm sure they had a good "reason" too...)
So yes, indeed - people today are committing large scale child sacrifice. And I say, based it is absolutely abhorrent to God. I'm pretty sure child sacrifice was forbidden somewhere in the Bible, as if people need to be told explicitly that it is wrong - which apparently they do.
