Peggy Noonan: A Tough Roe
Opinion Journal ^ | 01/20/03 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 01/19/2003 9:05:00 PM PST by Pokey78

It is now 30 years since the Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade vision, blew down the barriers to abortion on demand, using as the essential rationale a constitutional right of privacy that the court had discovered less than eight years earlier. Since 1973 roughly 40 million abortions--that seems to be the generally accepted number--have been performed in America, and 40 million children banished from life.

Humane Humanity

"Humane Humanity" speaks of the profound value of all human life.  The text is gentle and images impactful: 

"Over the years, humanity has made terrible mistakes.  People were treated as less than human, even killed because they were a different skin color, a different faith, because they were unknown, unplanned and helpless.

But over time, we are slowing learning that we are all God's children, created in his image.  And to disregard the value of human life, whether through hate or indifference...is wrong.

That all human creation regardless of race, religion, abilities or stage of human life, has an inalienable right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  A right to love and be loved.

As Americans, let's cherish the sanctity of human life, because we know how it feels when others treat us as less than human."


(End Tag):  Life.  Respect it.  Protect it. 

This commercial is ideal to air anytime, but particularly around the anniversary of 9/11 by Right to Life groups nationwide.  The images feature unborn and newborn babies, families, people of color and different faiths, handicapped, elderly, etc.. and ends with a powerful 9/11 image.

Respectfully, wrong, Peggy. Abortions are not performed on children. They are committed. Otherwise, we would be saying that "al Qaeda performed murder on 3,000 Americans."

Awesome article. Peggy Noonan is so much better in print than she is on TV.

No party can long endure, or could possibly flourish, with the unfettered killing of young humans as the thing that holds it together. And so a prediction on this grim anniversary: Someday years from now we will see abortion's final victim, and it will turn out to be the once-great Democratic Party, which was left at the end deformed, bloody and desperately trying to kick away from death, but unable to save itself.

The democrats have ceased to stand for anything except treason, power and money to the corrupt lawyer industry, and murdering third trimester babies.

Let their demise be slow and excruciating, over the course of many, many years of inexorable decline.

On a lighter note......a professor asked one of his blond students if she knew what Roe vs. Wade meant. She said she thought she knew so he asked her to say what Roe vs. Wade means. She said, "I think that's the decision George Washington had to make before he crossed the Delaware.

Abortion and sexual perversion. Those are the great motivating and clarifying ideas of the modern Democrat Party. That's what they've been reduced to.

a very prophetic article. It is not Republicans against Democrats, it is good against evil, not that Republican are good or democrats bad (the party maybe bad but some democrats are just ignorant). It is spiritual!!!!!!

You left out the maintenance of the monopoly of the deconstructionist indoctrination centers (AKA public schools).

Great article, and great point about the dems committment to the public school machine. The two biggest targets of demonrats are babies and schoolchildren. If they can't kill 'em first, they figure they'll indoctrinate them next. Sickening, when one actually thinks about it.

Ah yes, that powerful tool of enslavement for the slaves who toil in ignorance on the democrat plantation.

One in six delegates at every democrat national convention are representatives of the dispicable teachers' unions.

Peggy Noonan really nails it. The rat's embracing of abortion as the centerpiece of their platform was a key factor in my leaving the party. They sold their soul, and it's been downhill ever since. Look at how low they've sunk: the Boy Scouts are the enemy to them-the BOY SCOUTS! First motherhood, then the Boy Scouts. I suppose apple pie is out too because of the fat content, and the evil processed sugar. They are terribly squeemish about displays of patriotism or religious expressions. What's left for them to hate, baseball?

From Peggy's mouth to God's ear. Let us hope that the United States destroys the Democratic Party before the Democratic Party destroys the United States.
