Nat Hentoff: "The Indivisible Fight for Life"

Nat Hentoff: "Pro-choice Bigots: A view from the pro-life Left"

[rhema]

I should point out that although I am obviously a pro-lifer (not for religious reasons, but because I'm an atheist who can read biology), I have voted for pro-choicers with whom I have otherwise agreed on the First and Fourth Amendments and other constitutional rights, among them the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York. He was pro-abortion, except for partial-birth abortion, which he described as "only minutes away from infanticide." Obama, however, has firmly opposed any action taken against partial-birth abortion, including action taken by the Supreme Court.

Hentoff is a big lib who purports to be a protector of the Constitution. His reading of it, and mine, differ significantly. However, he is one ofbthe few libs out there who has lines they wont cross on the mrch “forward”, and for having principles, i applaud him.

[Incorrigible]

Nat Hentoff is the real deal.

His mind is still sharp at 87 years old. I don’t agree with many of his other positions but I know he uses reason to arrive at them.

One more person I have to get to vote for RR to make up for these simple minded types.

I salute Nat Hentoff - America’s only honorable and principled leftist.

Hentoff's great.

I remember reading his heartbreakingly scathing critiques of Madeline Albright and Bill Clinton's cowardly actions regarding Rwanda.

I remember his stressing that their's was not a failure to intervene but a decision to block all attempts at intervention.

The UN had well-armed and trained Belgian troops in country that could have stepped in to stop a genocide conducted with rocks and gardening equipment. But Clinton thought that talk of genocide and UN intervention would negatively impact the Democrat Party's chances in the upcoming congressional election, so they blocked any action.
