Abortion Around Us

Rachel Carson wrote a book "The Sea Around Us."

As you watch your death sentence being signed, is it appropriate to worry about proper penmanship?

We currently face economic collapse, environmental failure, and the ideological threat of extremism equal to Nazi fascism and Communist revolution.

Yet, we reckon abortion high on the list of our political platform agenda.

What is abortion, when you think about it?

Abortion is the intentional termination of life.

California has now outlawed trans-fats. The consumption of trans-fats, in theory, leads to premature termination of life. Improper diet ranks with abortion as a wrongful act. And, in theory, diet can be legislated.

The use of tobacco products brings life to an early end.

Alcoholism is very destructive.

We tried to legislate alcoholic beverages out of existence. This legislative effort was called "Prohibition". The problem was that drinking did not stop, but simply went underground, and became a dominion controlled by criminals.

Abortions were once illegal. Abortion was criminalized.

War involves killing. War is a kind of abortion.

Can we really legislate morality?

Should we stand upon high moral ground when the very fabric of existence is threatened on various fronts?

Should we fret over penmanship as we watch our death sentence being signed?

I think not.
