A slave was 3/5ths human.
And a fetus is something less than human that we consider its viability in allowing it to be hoovered out of the womb.
Both viewpoints are ways to justify horrific acts against humans. As Herman Hesse said in the twenties, we understand less and less what it means to be human, and men are shot wholesale as a result. And now, we also abort children wholesale.
Dump him!
And the pro-abortionists who support the notion that Roe v. Wade is “settled” law because the Supreme Court made the ruling seem to want to avoid talking about such gems as the Dred Scott Decision and Plessy v. Ferguson.
Rooty is self-destructing even faster and more dramatically than Howie Dean in 2004.
It's funny how stare decisis is a bad thing with Plessy but a good thing with Roe.
Rudy is a liberal chameleon. Forget him for America’s sake.
How does one “abandon” hypocrisy?
Once you are one, it isn’t abandoned. Rooty has proved that.
On abortion Reagan wrote:
"Our nation-wide policy of abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy was neither voted for by our people, nor enacted by our legislators--not a single state had such unrestricted abortion before the Supreme Court decreed it to be national policy in 1973. [It was] an act of raw judicial power"...
"Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. Nowhere do the plain words of the Constitution even hint at a "right" so sweeping as to permit abortion up to the time the child is ready to be born."
"We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life--the unborn--without diminishing the value of all human life."
"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide. My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning."
~~~ President Ronald Reagan, Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation, 1983
What?
Oops, Reagan was in ‘80.
Actually, with all due respect, that is not correct. I'd have a bit easier time with Rudy if he was indifferent to the issue.
But he's not. He was militant pro-abort as mayor. If you are truly against abortion, you don't address NARAL. Twice. You don't get perfect ratings from NARAL and Planned Parenthood, something Dingy Harry Reid has not accomplished.
The problem is, Rudy is beyond pro-choice. He even thinks Margaret Sanger is worthy of praise.
Obviously, the author made a mistake and should have said 1976. However, we are not permitted to alter the contents of the article.
Now question him on gun control and continue to watch his campaign gain speed circling the drain.
It is a perfect comparison. While Rudy may have attempted to finesse the issue, was there ever any real doubt about his pro-choice position?
Why does the Republican Party keep moving left when the base shows them that it wants them to move right? If he ran as a dem he’d be right there with hillary and kerry.
