People Shout About What they Know Not
This week we will see another mob scene on the Mall as the "March for Life' folks brave the
storms and sub-below wind chill to march on the US Supreme Court parading signs of delimbed
infants in utero to convince the Justices that what it legalized in Roe v. Wade is actually a form of infanticide that they wouldn't permit if they really knew what they were doing- because no one should think murder of voiceless infants an acceptable practice in the world-least of all a country that believes itself to be at the forefront of Freedom in the First Western World.
As usual, the percentage of people who have actually read the entire Roe v. Wade opinion walking on the mall will be very small- because mostly these are students bussed in from the suburbs and around the country for first a rally at the Verizon/MCI Center and then marshalled around by Friars and erstwhile Priests, none of whom have ever (a) fathered natural children or (b) supported a significant other-wife or girlfriend-who had natural children (these would be disqualifying factors of such high church service in catholic circles).
So the March on Life, without the depth of thought concerning what any punishment or deterrent should actually look like for an accidental or unwanted pregnancy for making it illegal, will be little more than a big WE LOVE KIDS proclamation (and who doesn't). It might as well be called the "MOM, FLAG, APPLE PIE and KIDS rally" for it's lack of substantive appreciation or analysis for the difficulty in crafting an opinion that considers all factors in outlawing the procedure- like, for example the following issues.
- What about the fact that anyone can self-abort or jump off a bridge, inject themselves with vinegar or other more lethal toxins to lose a child without anyone knowing and back alley butcher abortions were widely practiced when it was officially not legal. Thus illegal abortions can result in two deaths not one- that of the mother also whose death automatically causes the death of a fetus because we haven't invented artificial wombs yet.
- The Roe v. Wade opinion actually overturned a Texas criminal statute criminalizing women and letting the guys off scott free who caused the unwanted pregnancy so how do you square wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade with the equal protection principles that women should not be discriminated against vis-a-vis men who are equal culprits in making a pregnancy unwanted (lots of men actually coerce abortions when the result of their out of control lust because they don't want to have to deal with the oppressive child support regime in this country which results in locking up deadbeat dads who can't afford the adjudicated support.) How is that fair- or do you propose another penal scheme than the archaic one that Roe overturned?
Chris Matthews recently asked the Archbishop of Rhode Island- so do you favor locking women up and throwing away the keys if they have an abortion? At which point the Archbishop had nothing to say for himself.-----because no one in their right mind would want to victimize women twice by an oppressive unfair unjust penal scheme---particularly when a good percentage of abortions are on women who were conned by deceptive emotionally manipulative men who lied to them about loving them in the first place.
So knock youselves out parading around signed of ripped apart fetuses- like the US Supreme Court Justices haven't seen it a thousand times before and don't know what they are dealing with- because none of them must have daughters, families, or their own history of periods-- shed blood for the forgiveness of the sins of the men in their lives.
