At first this upset me, and then I thought any people that would roll ovver and allow this to happen probably don't deserve to be free. If you're not ready to risk your life, or kill to protect your children, I don't know-- maybe it's like chlorine for the gene pool. It's not like they don't have enough people to fight. Just cowards.

Miller,

Doesn't sound like these people have the choices we do. If these people fought for their unborn children, they'd be imprisoned...or worse.

All the more reason to overturn Roe. Freedom gives us a great responsibilty to our unborn childern. Those who fight for abortion rights are utterly reckless and self-serving.

Finally, careful consideration should be given to the danger of this power passing into the hands of those public authorities who care little for the precepts of the moral law. Who will blame a government which in its attempt to resolve the problems affecting an entire country resorts to the same measures as are regarded as lawful by married people in the solution of a particular family difficulty? Who will prevent public authorities from favoring those contraceptive methods which they consider more effective? Should they regard this as necessary, they may even impose their use on everyone. It could well happen, therefore, that when people, either individually or in family or social life, experience the inherent difficulties of the divine law and are determined to avoid them, they may give into the hands of public authorities the power to intervene in the most personal and intimate responsibility of husband and wife.

Just cowards.

Correct...the product of a socialist state. Look at France, can they defend themselves? Can they stand up to the muslims rioting in the street? When dependency on the state is a way of life, why be responsible for your actions? Nobody else is. Things like personal responsibility, ownership (be it property or a cause) is just not a part of the culture.

Before you get too hard on these people. Keep in mind that an illegal birth can result in entire families imprisoned, whole towns have been known to have large fines levied against them. And of course, the neighborhood enforcer knows when to visit without anybody to prevent them from carrying off a pregnant mother.

The folks here abort with a lot less pressure than that. By your measure, the people who protected Elian Gonzales were cowards because they didn't charge the guy with the automatic weapon. Red China is a very large bamboo prison.
