I wrote a while back that during the Red Plan controversy I chose to avoid almost all other issues on this blog. That time is past. For those who disagree with me on other issues prepare yourself.
If there is anything sacred about human beings then they should be treated with great care. A political philosophy that discourages contraception while demanding that every conception result in birth after a complete gestation but then turns its back on protecting, educating and insuring the children it has fostered holds no appeal to me.
Not surprisingly the shallow column/editorial bashing the Democratic Party by Iron Ranger Joseph Legueri left me cold. He implies that all Democrats support “abortion on demand.” Abortion on demand simply means that every child in the womb is subject to abortion at any time for any harebrained whim of the mother carrying them. But does Ligueri oppose all abortions himself? Maybe, maybe not. After painting all democrat politicians into the abortion on demand side he doesn’t make clear whether he himself opposes all abortions under any circumstances or simply abortion on demand. For some of us there are circumstances which justify allowing parents to decide for themselves whether or not to terminate a pregnancy.
I’ve written about Abortion for publication on several occasions sometimes tongue in cheek to keep my wrath in check. (I take exception be being called a “baby murderer”) Here, for the thoughtful person, are some harrowing anonymous testimonies from some baby murderers. I’d like to know whether Mr. Legueri would be willing to concede, after reading them, that his complaint against “abortion on demand” is overblown and just possibly a phony issue.
