Cal Thomas from NY wrote this article and wow it was spot on for liberals and pro choice people...
to summarize.
"for social liberals, what is it about abortion that makes them consider it a sacrificial rite through which only the killing of an unborn child can truly liberate a woman from the clutches of paternalism?"
A rule approved in the last days of Bush administration established broad protections for healthcare professionals if they choose not to perform abortions. Obama is set to rescind this. There will be a 30 day period of public comment...woopee
No politician can be found that favors abortion. To acknowledge more misgivings means you are at least acknowledging the beating heart and brain waves extinguished during an abortion are of greater significance than say the removal of an appendix or a tumor. An infected appendix can rupture and kill you, a tumor can grow, become malignant and cause death. A growing unborn child can be born and contribute tothe betterment of the country, but if you're utilitarian about it, increase the tax base.....Abortion kills a potential tax payer, which ought to override every other consideration for liberal politicians who are constantly looking for new sources of revenue.
Why do social libs say they want to make abortion safe, legal and rare but then spend all their time on the first two and none on the third. It is simple to keep them rare and safe and legal. Show the abortion minded woman the fetus(sonogram) she is about to destroy. 2005 survey by Care net, a network of 1000 anti-abortion pregnancy centers in the u.s. and canada showed 72% of women after seeing the sonogram kept the baby.
That isn't depriving a woman of her choice. It is providing her more info so her choice can be fully informed.
Getting rid of the Conscience rule would allow hospitals to REQUIRE pro life doctors and nurses to participate in abortions...The catholic church says elective abortions is a moral sin so the govt is considering a requirement that would place a catholic in the position of risking excommunication and eternal damnation. Evangelical christians regard abortion as equally offensive. Where is the separation of church and state????
there is more to the article but that is the premise....
