It is too bad that you didn't instead say to yourself:

I was surprised to hear today, Jan 22, is the tenth anniversary of the
day babys lost their rights by abortion.  I guess I've been ignorant
of how recently some very important rights have been lost.

Do you want to hear something ironic?  

Our week old baby was baptized on the 22nd (by coincidence).  Little Stephanie
has rights as a little baby.  Hmmm.  She's a female, so she has the right to
abortion too (Please note the sarcasm!).  Strange, I can't imagine a
baby KILLING someone.  Only "adults" can justify it to themselves.  Strange,
the things we can justify to ourselves; isn't it.

P.S.  Flame all you want.  Just hit above the belt.
      I know, now we'll hear attempts to justify that my use of "someone" above
      was "wrong".  If you are thinking about that, just read the last sentence
      in that paragraph.
