I don’t have a thing v. Eunice Shriver. True, she survived that family, and that alone is an accomplishment. But she was NOT Mother Theresa. I don’t think a Catholic man or woman of her generation being pro-life is that extraordinary.

Her brother Ted, on the other hand, sold out on the issue for both political and personal reasons. It was politically expedient to support the NOW crowd and personally convenient to have readily available for any young women he might have knocked up. Not that any legal restrictions on abortion would have stopped him from getting it done. Those with resources and connections could always get abortions. And many did.

You are probably right about Eunice not being Mother Theresa and I probably give her too much credit, but I always liked her.
