Posted on 12/08/2003 2:24:04 AM PST by Got a right to Life? . . Huh?
My impressions of this article are that we need to be fighting for life with more urgency. Once a right to "reproductive health" becomes a hard norm in international law which our courts will defer to, pro-life vicories will become more difficult.
You are right. Women see men having unprotected sex and getting away without children. The liberal mind would ask for the same for women. Allowing women to kill children as means of achieving equality seems patently corrupt to me.
The law should seek equality by giving social & financial responsibility to both men and women when a child is conceived.

I agree that many are in denial about what abortion is and about the personhood of the pre-born children they never see.
There is a pro-life group that is actively trying draw people out of their denial with pictures of the truth.

As disturbing as it is, I believe that the visual facts will be a necessary part of winning this war for our children.
Our local Right to Life Chapter marched in a parade a few days ago. I met two Catholics from Nigeria who are here to study in the seminary. Their society has no legal abortions. One of them told me that anyone who would consider such a thing would be widely viewed as insane in their country.
He shared with me a number of his impressions about our country, our media, etc. It was the first time I felt real shame for how far we have let our country degenerate. After talking with him for some time, my impression was that he saw America as a country in need of outside assistance and his dedicated missionary efforts.
To think that an international body may someday try to force legal, government financed abortions in Nigeria and countries like them, makes me a little crazy.
Yes!
And we need to start talking about what we'll do minimize Dimwit voter fraud.
