The left likes to use American Indians as a stick to beat up on America, and those aspects of their noble culture and history that cannot be put to that use are summarily ignored. When has anyone ever heard about this plank of the Iroquois Code of Handsome Lake:

"'Now another word. It is sad. It is the fourth word. It is the way Yondwi'nias swa'yas. [She cuts it off by abortion]

Now the Creator ordained that women should bear children.

Now a certain young married woman had children and suffered much. Now she is with child again and her mother wishing to prevent further sufferings designs to administer a medicine to cut off the child and to prevent forever other children from coming. So the mother makes the medicine and gives it. Now when she does this she forever cuts away her daughter's string of children. Now it is because of such things that the Creator is sad. He created life to live and he wishes such evils to cease. He wishes those who employ such medicines to cease such practices forevermore. Now they must stop when they hear this message. Go and tell your people.'"
