-Caveat Lector-
SnoOwl:
For the greater part of your post, we are in full agreement. Our national
sense of priority has become a cruel joke, and one for which we will all
pay dearly at some time or another. What I was "scared of" was the argument
I thought you were adopting, and an argument that many have used before:
abortion is a better "alternative" than poverty (as if these were the only
two options).
Yes, the way we treat our children is abhorent; yes, the fact that our
children go to school in trailers while malnourished and abused is a scar
on our society which will be some time in healing--but I am hard-pressed to
see how retroactive "choice" will mitigate these crimes perpetrated upon
our youth. On this point, I respectfully agree to disagree.
