of course, nowadays we allow delinquent girls to screw the entire football team, have five abortions, take drugs, and live free away from mom on welfare...we have a million street kids who ran away from home who turn to prostitution. We're soooo much more compassionate about teens....

That's the unspoken "moral" of the story -- try to make the past look infinitely horrible and gloss over the horrors of the present. I dare this scum hypcrite director, who's so upset about a supposed "mass grave" in Ireland to look inside the medical waste dumpster at any abortion mill on any given day.

So, "balancing atrocities" is OK with you?

The Magdalen laundries destroyed lives every bit as much as abortion destroys lives.

A vivid story on CBS "Sunday Morning" today revealed the anguish of women who lived in these Church-sanctioned hellholes; in the majority of cases, their families didn't even know where they were, for 20 years at a time.

The churchmen and churchwomen of Catholicism have much to answer for, but the "answer" always comes out churchgoing-Catholics' pockets.

People should be reminded about how the knee-jerk liberals convinced the nation to open the doors of all the insane asylums to let those poor tortured people free.You probably are too young to remember,story after story about the inhuman conditions of the state/government mental institutions in the 70's,I believe. It is so easy to point fingers years after the fact when you can forget or change the story to fit whatever tale will further the agenda.

Those were the years I was raising my boys and I recall several women being institutionalized with post-partum depression. Sometimes it was for a year or longer. They came home fine and raised their children to adulthood without any more problems. Unlike the poor women in Dallas who drowned her children in the bath tub. A couple of little affordable 2 or 3 days of confinement is as much as the system allows now.

Look at newspaper reports over the last several years,in my own town we have had several grandparents and parents brutally murdered by their own children,the parents had sought to have them committed but there is no place for them now.

The upshot of that "release" is we have homicidal people loose,mentally slow,incompetents who are now homeless or just meandering around neighborhoods with nothing to do until their caretakers,get home from work.Some have contributed to the drug abuse problem and commit petty crimes,while many are inmates in our jail systems.meanwhile they are neglected and continue to be abused and society is subject to the losses that result from unsupervised incompetents and worse inflict on them. If people could start suing government in this country and the liberals who pushed for the "release",maybe some justice could occur. On second thought,not government,instead the persons who pulled the strings and wrote the fabricated stories and made the movies.

While on an earlier post I said that many could have been delinquents,it is also possible that some number were also significantly mentally challenged,both intellectually and psychologically.

These knee jerk reactors have caused a lot of trouble for society through the years.

Please don't mistake this screed as an indication of my satisfaction with the old system,there were a lot of problems. But those should have been addressed and resolved keeping the system in place.
