Mile54–Have you stopped to read your words to realize how Orwellian they are? This is straight out of science fiction. What you’re describing is more akin to a tumor. And you declare it with the certainty of a zealot with not a trace of introspection.

It proves the point that the attitudes of the pro-abortion crowd have become hardened beyond reason. Isn’t this what the Nazis were both feared and despised for?

Implying an advancement forward of a political philosophy by using the word “progress” is just another way the insidious left uses words and concepts as acts of intellectual legerdermain, to fool mostly young people who refuse or who are unable to clearly think through how tired old ideas are being repackaged to once again be marketed and sold to a new and unsuspecting potential audience.

The words “Constitution” and “Founding Fathers” are put forth as if everyone knows what the original intent was at the moment. The long term goal of the Constitution was to last maybe 20 years-Thomas Jefferson.

“Cracks in the Constitution” by Ferdinand Lundberg, explores who the men where who created it and how it was used despite what was said. How it was used tells more than the nostalgia of the remakers of history. Our understanding may be unrelated to the facts.
Where as:
1) The Constitution puts no limits on the United States Government.
2) Conveys unlimited taxing powers.
3) Conveys unlimited power to raise armies to use anywhere.
4) Uses the Bill of Rights as window dressing to thwart the will of the people.

This current American scenario of the redefinition of concepts, is a page right out of the Orwellian literature of how authoritarian governments control their people by education that population to accept the opposite concept as the meaning of the original word,
“War is Peace;
Freedom is Slavery;
Ignorance is Strength.”

“In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes an act of rebellion.”
(George Orwell)

Since the American education system has become government directed and conceived, and this propagandizing has been indoctrinating and imprinting young minds with the agenda that sustains and promotes the premises of that government in setting the standards for what passes as morality and justice, American is undeniably in a decaying orbit towards an eventual forfeiture of our right to even dissent and
publicly speak out against the policies and
authoritarian decrees of our government. To even discuss issues and topics such as this in public forums in the near future, could conceivably be declared “treasonous” and an act of rebellion against the state.
I recently watched a film by Ben Stein entitled ‘Expelled..No Intelligence Allowed’ which clearly showed how the education system and state has shut down even the intellectual right to have academic discussions on topics not approved by the state, and those educators who violated this “unwritten” but clearly enforced mandate, were summarily dismissed one way or another.

By not speaking out now, defiantly and loudly, against this academic and governmental closing down of all free speech and debate on issues that are found to be against the approved line of discourse and debate, we then automatically empower and embolden the entrenched authorities to strengthen their stranglehold on people by the restricting the discussion of ideas.

”Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.” (Josef Stalin)

Many years ago, I ‘hooked-up’ with a woman who ultimately became pregnant due to what I can only legitimately say (today) was my personal failing to use adequate anti-pregnancy protection. She subsequently had an abortion, which I helped finance.

At the time, I felt a rather large commitment had been avoided, and I was grateful that she felt the same way.

I’m not proud of that period of my life today, abeit still thankful I wasn’t forced to pay eighteen years of child support for a child I neither wanted nor had the ability to support in any reasonable fashion at that time – and especially with a ‘fling’.

I wouldn’t be inclined to make the same decision today; nor could I even attempt to justify my actions as I did then. From today’s perspective, I realize my actions actually killed a human being.

I can’t change my past – my only hope for ‘atonement’ is to learn from my youthful errors, and not repeat them.

I’d urge any younger person to think – truly think – about their actions prior. The regrets and remorse you feel many years on won’t be obvious at the time – but they will be a part of you forever…

Who gave you that right?

God gave all of us Free Will. The best way to influence people’s will is one-on-one, not by coercion of an entire populace through more laws. Talk to those within your sphere of influence, and trust that others will do the same in theirs. You can help reduce the number of abortions performed if you approach this one mind – one soul – at a time.
Of course, you could also reduce the abortion rate if you encouraged responsible people to practice birth control, instead of condemning it.
One last question, because I have always wondered about this. If you oppose abortion because you truly believe it to be murder, how do you rationalize your support for war?

Please don’t laugh. Think about it a second.

I want to thank you for your ‘VOICE OF SANITY”, it is wonderful. I do not always agree with you on certain things but you shine in a world where men refuse to “step out” and say what needs to be said. Please keep up the good work and maybe, just maybe your seed of oratory will land on fertile soil, take root and grow.

There are two kinds of people in this world, those that anoint and those that embalm. Need I say more?

Yes, the majority of the burden is on the woman, but biology did that and there’s no way around it. Therefore, the woman should be the person to make sure there is no possibility of conception. Being drunk doesn’t count. Calling the child a parasite, fetus, blob of cells, doesn’t change the fact that it’s (if left to develop) going to be someone’s mother, sister, friend, wife.

Of course, I’m probably preaching to the choir here.

I don’t approve of killing the doctors that perform this procedure unless it’s under the rule of law but, I can certainly understand someone feeling strongly enough to do it. Similar to shooting Stalin in the back given the chance.

Thanks for your provocative and stimulating articles!
