Abortion Chic By Kathleen Parker

I am presenting this article by Kathleen Parker because she comes very close to the position on abortion I have taken in my discussions on this site. I want Roe vs Wade (and Doe v. Bolton) overturned because in these decisions the Supreme Court shredded the Constitution and thrust the federal government into matters it has no right to affect under the republican form of government our forefathers so wisely created for us. I am personally pro-life, but at the state level I want no abortion limitations placed on mature, unmarried women because I never want to go back to the days of back alley abortions and dead or maimed women. If we get another Supreme Court vacancy soon, this is another critical reason for retaining Republican majorities. Evangelical and conservative Republicans will be cutting off their noses to spite their faces if they sit home and sulk over the Foley affair during the upcoming November elections.

It is more likely that abortion will continue[if outlawed], but will become more dangerous and even more hideous.

Did abortion become safer and less hideous when it was legalized? Safer, possibly, but I doubt it; less hideous, just the opposite.
