“While passing legislation may help limit abortion, the pro-life movement will never succeed unless it changes people’s attitudes toward the unborn.”
The change is measurable, irrefutable, and enormous .
He should get out of DC from time to time.
Ron Paul is a two-faced, lying fraud. He’s the guy who, in speeches, badmouthed pork and railed against earmarks; and then would pick a bill that was sure to pass, load it up with pork for his district, and then make a big deal of voting against the bill. When it passed, as he knew it would....bringing his pork with it, he’d shake his head and tsk-tsk a few times and remind everyone that he’d voted against it.
That’s why I don’t trust Rand. The apple never falls far from the tree.
excerpt 1: “While passing legislation may help limit abortion, the pro-life movement will never succeed unless it changes people’s attitudes toward the unborn.”
The attitude that needs to be changed is that attitude that mothers who kill their children are somehow not murderers. The attitude should be, that it is the ultimate act of irresponsibility, evil and injustice to kill a defenseless child for any reason that the mother and father created.
Even this author pussy-foots around and tries to insinuate that these killer mothers and somehow justified in their child killing, because it is too inconvenient and difficult for the mother to let her child live...frikkin’ disgusting.
Excerpt 2: “These pro-lifers undercut their moral credibility as advocates for unborn American lives when they display a callous indifference to the lives of Iraqi, Iranian, and Afghan children.”
American schmerican...the value of a child’s life has nothing to do with a moral high ground of someone who is Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice. These are human children and mothers have killed more people, in 34 years, than all of the world’s wars and health epidemics throughout history combined. These are the DeathMoms and in the US 1 in 3 women is a DeathMom at least once in her life.
Why do children in Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq get killed?! It has nothing to do with our militaristic foreign policy, that’s for sure. I think we all know they are used as human shields. This author is simply politically slanted to the left.
Until mothers acknowledge they are murderers when they kill their children, we will never conquer abortion. That’s the attitude that needs changing, right there...that’s the truth.
Pardon my pessimism, but I ain't holding my breath to see any of this happen in my lifetime!
Politics will not solve any of our problems. Politics caused all of the problems.
[ too many abortion opponents also support a militaristic foreign policy. These pro-lifers undercut their moral credibility as advocates for unborn American lives when they display a callous indifference to the lives of Iraqi, Iranian, and Afghan children.]
That Paul(Sr.) does not understand, or pretends not to understand, the difference between the unborn and national defense issues is telling.
The argument can be made that sometimes the national defense decisions are incorrect, but to try to equate these decisions with abortion shows faulty reasoning on his part.
Paul (Sr.) has always been prone to faulty reasoning in numerous areas. His son appears to have inherited some commonsense from somewhere, not from his father.
Um, it was the COURTS that “changed people’s minds” via Roe/Wade just like they overrode the wills of the people’s votes on homosexual marriage. So saying politics isn’t the place to see it through is just plain wrong. Of course, having TV/news/schools expound on liberal culture for decades didn’t help us out, either. On the other hand, what did we do to break through that? Nothing, really.
Yawn. Fail.
Therefore, efforts to make abortion a federal crime are just as unconstitutional as efforts to prohibit states from outlawing abortion.
Yawn. Fail.
