Here's how liberals can correct their selective vision
Garrison Keillor ("Ideological purity may be due for a good scrubbing," Aug. 17) states that "Liberals hold that the test of a civilized society is how it deals with the weak, the sick, the powerless." How ironic that the left can claim to be a champion of the most vulnerable in our society, yet at the same time trample on the rights of those whom they claim to uphold.
Can somebody please tell me who is more weak and powerless than an unborn child in a mother's womb? Or how about the weak and powerless disabled person such as Terri Schindler Schiavo, who had her life forcibly ended by her husband through a court order? It is mind chilling to think that people can be so erroneous in their judgment as to not see that human life at all stages is precious and valuable and should be protected.
Yes, liberals please keep fighting for those have no voice such as the homeless, and those in poverty. But please open your eyes and see all of the weak, the sick, and the powerless; not just the ones that are politically convenient.
