Sick, Sick, Sick

US abortion doctor is shot dead

I don't care what you think of abortion, taking a man's life because he performs abortions is murder. How can anyone with any sort of brain square a deliberate act of murder with a right-to-life cause. Personally, I have serious issues with mid- to late term abortions, but I know of many women whose lives and families would have come unraveled had they not had the procedure done. No one can walk in her shoes and only she can decide and only she has to live with the long term consequences of her decision. Most of the women - no - virtually all of the women who I know who have had abortions have never, ever regretted it.

I have much more of a problem with teenage girls popping babies out every two or three years and thinking they can properly raise them on their own. The first scenario leads to happier, healthier families. The second, too often is a disaster for everyone. Of course, I would much prefer abstinence be practiced instead, but in our hyper-sexualized society where girls are subjected to images and role models that can only be described as tarts, what can we expect. We would also do well to remember that it's not just teens that get pregnant and want abortions. Many times it is married women who already have children for whom one more child would be a tipping point into serious social chaos for herself and all her older children.

In the meantime, expect hypocrisy.
