Bill is just worried that Adams’ tweets will undermine the death panels and the NYT cannot editorially stand for that.

KELLER ON ABORTION: Self-anointed advocates for the unborn need to stay out of abortion debate"
EDITED---"The self-anointed advocates for the unborn have no inherent place in the matter. Nature entrusted the life of this new creature to its mother not to lawyers or legislators and it is between a woman and her conscience."
Keller of the New York Times rresponded to a letter to the editor asking him to share his rationale for supporting abortion rights.
Kellers rationale comes from personal experience more than anything else. Kellers experience led him to a place of support for abortion (unlike those of the pro-life Silent No More group).....
.....while Keller acknowledges wholeheartedly that [n]ature entrusted the life of this new creature to its mother, he doesnt make the logical conclusion that the new creature (the pre-born child) has any value. In fact, he goes on to conclude that it is between a woman and her conscience [whether to abort].
NARAL President Ilyse Hogue, heartily praised Kellers piecemeal conclusion that although the unborn are entrusted to their mothers, their mothers alone (and anyone else they invite into the decision) have a say in what happens to these new lives:
The idea that someone other than God (or nature, however you see it) has sole dominion over the life and death of children is not new or rare. In China, the government claims this authority. In ancient Rome, the paterfamilias, or head of the household, had the right to determine whether his newborn children would be welcomed into the family or left in the hills to be ravaged by wild animals or succumb to the elements.
