If the Times had such a fit about a golf club, imagine what it will do with the abortion issue from now til 2004? I expect every one of Bush's judicial appointments will result in front-page articles every bit as hysterical as this editorial. And many other papers will take up the call as well.

Spread this article on a cornfield and you'd get quite a yield if you catch my drift.

"War Against Women"

What a hoot.

If there's a 'war against women' in this regard it's merely a re-play of another war, half a century ago...

And it's easy to see who's who, role-wise...

'Anti-Choice' Men = The Allies

'Pro-Choice' Women = The Nazis

Unborn Children = The Jews

Yeah... A "War Against Women".

When you know who the players are it sounds like a damn good idea!

Is this a "war against WOMEN"? Or is it a "war against WOMEN WHO MURDER THEIR BABIES"?

Refuse to choose. Question abortion. Women deserve better.

Why is this guy so surprised? President Bush is the most pro-life president we've had.

Along with playing the race and class warfare cards, playing the "Roe v. Wade will be overturned" card is all the Dems have.

Yet two years into the Bush presidency, it is apparent that reversing or
otherwise eviscerating the Supreme Court's momentous 1973 ruling that

...has been responsible for the deaths of over 30 million human beings.

To borrow the New York Times's peculiar language, on one side you have a War Against Women and on the other side you have a War Against Babies.

Which is the real war? Which involves real killing? Who has real blood on his hands?

These proponents of baby killing as a sport, sure have a talent for defining evil as good,merciful, acceptable, middle of the road and rational, and for defining good as evil, merciless, unacceptable, far right and irrational.

Seems the rationale of these people is identical to that of violent terrorists.

"If this is a War on Women, well then SIGN ME UP!

The tone of this editorial cements the NYT official opinion page as irresposible and totally unserious.

One might expect extremist terms like 'war on women', 'international war against women's right to control their bodies', 'presidential assault' from exclusively pro-abortion outfits or the far fringes of the radical feminist movement, but from the national 'paper of record'?

These polemics do nothing to inform or promote debate. They are designed to inflame, and to insult.

The idea that Bush has a visceral desire to control women's bodies across the globe or is directing an assault against half the human race is ludicrous on its face, and I'd bet it's repugnant to 90% or more of the nation.

The rhetoric spouted here would be the equivalent of the NY Post or Washington Times running full-color photos of chopped up fetuses on its editorial page, and calling for the arrest of named abortion leaders on murder charges, the polar extreme of their political position.

I can only see this piece as another flail in the death throes of extreme leftism and the mainstream media support it has so long enjoyed.

The time to "choose" is BEFORE having sex. It's called taking personal responsibility for one's actions.

Yet two years into the Bush presidency, it is apparent that reversing or otherwise eviscerating the Supreme Court's momentous 1973 ruling that recognized a woman's fundamental right to make her own childbearing decisions is indeed Mr. Bush's mission.

Let me see if I've got this right. Unless a woman has been raped she has made the following three decisions:

1.) She has chosen or allowed a man to come into her life in a romantic way.

2.) She has chosen or allowed a man to have sex with her.

3.) She has chosen or forgotten to take proper birth control measures.

In my mind that woman has willfully abdicated her fundamental right to make her child bearing decision. Now, having given up that right, the pro-abortion crowd feels that she should have the right to kill what she willfully brought about. Shame, shame, shame.

An attempt to put modest boundaries on the wantonness of the butchery brigades is called a war on women.

Truly there is no talking to the left any longer, if there ever was.

Only total unremitting opposition is in order.

They want war? Then let it be war. Total war!
