My recollection is that Tracy said something more like, "IT CAME to this the first time you sentenced an innocent man to death". Tracy was making the point that the evil which the judge hadn't anticipated, began in his own court room. It wasn't about what the judge knew or expected, it was about what the judge DID.
In other words, it wasn't relevant what happened later.
Thanks (though I can’t take credit for the idea)
It is a non-intrusive/non-aggressive way of getting a message across; it is informing the conscience of someone who may not be thinking with a clear head as they plan a murder.
She learned, and is dealing with the guilt of her past. That's something she has to live with and there's nothing that can be done about that. However, what she can do now is to do her best, as we all can, to stop others from being victims of murder for convenience.
The world is a jungle. Every American younger than 40 has lived under Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton their entire lives. The generations (plural) before that was the one that had individuals fight for legalized abortion. The judges who legalized it were in their 60's or 70's at that time.
We are gaining an inch at a time (Partial birth bans), but it's like the fight against slavery. It's wrong, but it's been around for generations. Men are conditioned to stay out of this area (75% of the leadership and volunteers in pro-life movement are women). That's not including the scum who pressure their significant others to have an abortion to avoid embarrassment, financial burdens, and the like as a result of some action. Women are conditioned to consider this as "choice" even if most of them personally abhor abortion and would never have one.
Despite all of that, the culture, the media, and the money from the leftist foundations, we are gaining an inch at a time to fight this. It's not good enough at all, but I think there's a chance this gets banned in my lifetime.
Yep Pittsburgh is correct!
Thanks for your kind words. Sometimes it is hard to be a pro-life witness in such a secular world.
ts so drastic that even I have noticed a reduction in the population & I cam ve a real space cadet sometimes. So if Ive noticed it, its bad. >>
