The Abortion Divide

Published: May 14, 2004


To the Editor:

"The President and Women" (editorial, May 9) attributes thoughts to me that I do not believe.

The Americans who marched in Washington recently to advocate pro-choice policies have every right to do so, just as I have the right to advocate my pro-life position.

My remarks on CNN were an effort to find common ground on this divisive issue.

I said, and believe, that after Sept. 11 we have been reminded of the precious nature of human life, especially as Americans of all political philosophies and beliefs fight a common enemy in the terror network that assaults the founding conviction of our country, that all individuals were endowed by our Creator with the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I suggested that surely reasonable people on both sides of the abortion issue, including a number of my pro-choice friends who also work for President Bush, could agree that we should work to reduce the number of abortions in America through policies like promoting adoption.

1. 9/11 can be exploited to serve as a justification

for everything that supports the RW cause, apparently.

2. ...My remarks on CNN were an effort to find common ground

on this divisive issue."

:wtf: So you make remarks that are even more divisive????

3. She makes about as much sense as Pat Robertson, Falwell, Dobson,

and all those other idiots who herd the sheep into the polls for W.

4. The NYT forgot a paragraph ...

"Our sincere desire to reduce the number of abortions and find a common ground in this debate is why the * administration is backing off its 'abstinence-only' sex ed requirements, demanding FDA approval to allow over-the-counter sales of the 'morning-after pill,' and increasing funding for Planned Parenthood to conduct more outreach into schools and communities."

5. "'After the bombing of Afghanistan and Iraq, we have been reminded...

of the precious nature of human life."
-- What Karen Hughes deeply-suppressed conscience would be saying if given the light of day.

6. How do we fit abortion and WTC together?

The right wing is not as good in logic as I am and it took me 2 times to make it in that class.

7. Damn it! It's not just a matter of opposing choice,

it's a matter of opposing safe-sex education. They not only want women pregnant, they want women ignorant.

Promoting adoption? How many orphanages shall we fill, Ms Hughes?

8. fill orphanages? No way! We need those warm bodies for the military!

A child army! What better way to fight terrorism!
