That's the most rediculous argument for killing a baby. Abortion is wrong for many reasons. Some of those reasons are based in our religious convictions, but other reasons exist in the realms of simple common sense, logic, philosophy, science, jurisprudence.
What it does have in its favor at a political level is its appeal to the consumerist mentality of the ruling white middle class. Two generations of American bourgoise have been conditioned by Madison Avenue (through television, films and glossy magazines) to believe that they have a god-given right to full material happiness - and anything (or anyone) who gets in the way of that is shit out of luck. An unwanted pregnancy? No different than an unwanted CD player - simply get rid of it and go on to the next commodity. Historically, respect for life from conception until natural death was basic to the nonviolent religions and philosophies of the East. Invoking this tradition, human rights leaders from Gandhi to the Dalai Lama have condemned abortion as a form of violence akin to other practices which destroy human life and debase human dignity. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching people to love, but to use violence to get what they want. That's why the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. - Mother Teresa (1910-1997) -----Original Message----- From: William Wheatley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 1:26 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Democrats overslept missed vot LOL well unless you're a woman we really have nothing to say about abortion. I have a slogan lets keep our hands out of other woman's crotch's since its not our business. Republicans are for keeping gov't out of our lives but they can be all in a woman's uterus. How many wonderful republicans you see taking in black crack babies and raising them? I don't see too many of them. And AA can use a little tweaking but as for being insignificant its not hard to get discouraged when you have an election stolen from you and nobody can seem to do anything about it. But the good thing about the republicans they are always good at hanging themselves. Its just a matter of time and then i'll post your wonderful email up again and it won't be me eating crow. lol "When I came back from Korea, I had no money, no skills.
