You should've opened with this. It might've helped you convince other people with similar beliefs why you feel the process is necessary - so you can still have babies after the second Coming of the Lord.
"Leaps of logic" such as your correlation between assisted birth and violence are more easily accepted by those willing to suspend logic and/or have leaps of "faith."
And opening with that line would have assisted those of us who are rigorously scientific (many in this thread) in recognizing that you'd be providing more rhetoric and appeals to emotion than scientific evidence.
Appeal to the correct audience, if your goal is truly to recruit soldiers for your campaign of truth.
