You're only compounding the problem and serving the cause of the true deathists if you insist on demonizing the Useful Idiots who've been "educated" into offing their own.
The "Deathocrats" never made it U.S. National Defense policy that "abortion is vital to the solution" of population control at home AND abroad.
As a result of reduced death rates, there are more people in their non-productive years than ever before. More children and more elderly people unable to participate in the world's work force increase the burden on the productive age group. [...] The National Academy of Sciences has said:
Either the birth rate must go back down
or the death rate must go back up.
The "Deathocrats" weren't arguing well before Roe that "availability" and discriminatory pricing structures were the major issues concerning abortion, that our healthcare system needed overhauling or that the nearly 400 million they were earmarking for contraceptive research should include work on predeterming the sex of children.
It wasn't the "Deathocrats" who were arguing that perhaps some people shouldn't be allowed to breed, that "using the techniques we use on cattle" superior humans could be bred using fertility clinics, that the great success of contraception was the divorcing of sex from procreation and that the well-intentioned social programs which had resulted in a "down breeding" of this nation ought to be remedied so that we could protect our Genetic and Hereditary Quality.
No, it wasn't "Deathocrats" saying any of that.
Back then, the "Deathocrats" still had the audacity to call abortion and birth control targeted genocide ... as if the language of their opponents regarding "down breeding" and "genetic quality" and "quality of life" said what it meant and meant what it said.
It certainly wasn't the Deathocrats who noted for the record that:
The government can provide leadership and direction but should never be put into a position of having to enact controls on population as a result of public ignorance and indifference.
With any luck, then, Terri Schindler has served her purpose in "educating" the masses to the critical need for "Living Wills" and a more humane means of euthanasia than the starvation currently legal in all 50 states and the real "Deathocrats" won't have to be "put into the position ofi having to enact controls on population as a result of public ignorance and indifference."
Dummy up, Laz. The courts clearly are looking to the "will of the people" in these instances ... as represented by their pro-life legislators who draft the laws their Pro-Life leadership signs in their executive capacity.
I had thought up to now that the "secret decision" of Laura Bush regarding stem cells marked the nadir of "sending a message." Last night, listening to the radio, I heard the pro-abort First Lady actually state that, because this was a "LIFE" issue, it should be a "federal" issue.
If that sort of Orwellian doublespeak no longer strikes at the heart and conscience of those with ears to hear it, I think our nation is truly lost.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say (and have often privately referred to you as the Obtuse Genie), but I will agree with you that unrestricted access to abortion at any time prior to the water breaking, has definitely cheapened life. I use to deny it, but the results are very apparant: Life is becoming cheaper. Humans are becoming more expendable. This is the status-quo in some of the countries / regions I've visited -- Russia and Southeast Asia to name two -- but it's disturbing that we are going DOWN to (for example) Russia's level, instead of bringing them up to ours.
