THIS is what Debbie Wasserman Schultz considers a simple "Health Care Decision".

In other words: it's only a human being if it serves the interests of one's "convenience". Otherwise, it is merely a human waste product, and thus disposable at will.

There are many things about which reasonable people may differ.

But when the sanctity of innocent human life comes into question, we are called upon to distinguish responsibility from convenience, and reality from mere wishes. And in the balance reposes the value and purpose of our own lives.

Abortion at will is evil. In rare occasions, and in rare circumstances it may be justified (rape, incest, fatal risk to the mother). Simple compassion argues honorably that we might allow for such exception. But to treat abortion at any time, place or condition as a mere "choice" is to deny the value and preciousness of human life and the spark of Divinity that animates it.

Our society, our culture, our Nation: these are all in great peril at this moment. And the greatest reason "why?" transcends the relative minutiae of politics: it is because we have chosen to treat God's greatest gift of Life as a potential sacrifice to our will, as though our will might exist at all without the spark that brought it into being.

Kind of like slaves in the 19th century, right?
