I can't believe this is in the Times. Of course, I know it's the Times for real because they quoted Frances Kissling. But the quote from her almost sounds pro-life!

WARNING: The Surgeon General has Determined that Abortion May Be Hazardous to Your Baby's Health

I guess they wrote this as a complaint
to the NEA that they are doing enough
to program the kids into being without
morals and hearts.
The kids are ready to rebel against
the corrupt immoral American establishment.

An interesting point about this issue is that the changing social standards, the acceptance of out of wedlock births has made abortions less desirable or "necessary".

good article.

I know one of the groups that came to my campus is an anti-abortion group called Justice for All, and everyone supported them it seemed like.

Some parents trace their teenagers' anti-abortion views to sexuality education programs that stress abstinence as the only way to prevent pregnancy and disease, and in the process sometimes demonize abortion.

Nope, no bias at the NYT...

Dear Mom,

Thanks for not aborting me.

Love,

One of them is Kelly Kroll, a junior at Boston College and president of American Collegians for Life, who says she is a "survivor of the abortion holocaust" because she was adopted. "Myself and my classmates have never known a world in which abortion wasn't legalized," she said. "We've realized that any one of us could have been aborted. When I talk about being a survivor of abortion, I am talking about it from a personal place."

And that is the gulf between the generation who fought for "choice" and the generation who is alive now inspite of it. This issue has a whole different point of view for these young people and, I dare say, a very disturbing one at that.

He said he had been told abortion "tears the arms and legs off."

The truth hurts, doesn't it, Ms. Walker!

I'm stunned that it's in the NYT, but hey, I'll take it. The only thing that's ever been needed to sway the abortion argument is a simple discussion of straight facts, facts that are virtually NEVER allowed to be known by the media. The methods. The reality behind the ludicrous claims of the pro-abortioners, etc.

For reference, this was located on the front page of the STYLE section (Sunday's only). As if its stylish or a fad to be pro-life.

the spread of ultrasound technology, which has made the fetus seem more human;

Anyone want to guess whether the author aborted something that seemed to be human at some time in her life?

Here is a recent email I sent to W.

Dear President Bush, With the Surpeme Court session getting ready to close, it may well be time for perhaps the most important domestic decision of your presidency: the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice(s). The main reason why I supported you in 2000 and why I wanted Daschle out of power in 02 (and 04) has to do with the courts. I want America courts to interpret law, not write law. During your presidential campaign you said Thomas and Scalia were your two model justices. Those are excellent models. The High Court needs more like them. Clarence Thomas recently said to students that the tough cases were when what he wanted to do was different from what the law said. And he goes by the law. This should be a model philosophy for our justices. Your father, President Bush lost his reelection campaign for 3 main reasosn, as far as I can see. 1. he broke the no new taxes pledge 2. David Souter 3. Clinton convinced people we were in a Bush recession (which we had already come out of by the time Clinton was getting sworn in)

I urge you to learn from all three of these: 1. on taxes, you're doing great. Awesome job on the tax cut. 2. good job so far on judicial appointments. I want to see more of a fight for Estrada, Owen, and Pickering, but I commend you on your nominations. 3. by staying engaged in the economic debate you'll serve yourself well

I have been thoroughly impressed with your handling of al Queida, Iraq, and terrorism. You have inspired confidence and have shown great leadership.

But I want to remind you that your Supreme Court pick(s) will be with us LONG after you have departed office. I urge you to avoid the tempation to find a "compromise" pick. Go for a Scalia or Thomas. Don't go for an O'Connor or Kennedy. To be specific, get someone who is pro-life. Roe v Wade is one of the worst court decisions I know of, and it's the perfect example of unrestrained judicial power.

I know the temptation will be tremendous on you to nominate a moderate. But remember who your true supporters are. I am not a important leader or politician. I am "simply" a citizen who has been an enthusiatic supporter of you. I am willing to accept compromise in many areas of government but I will watch your Court nomiantions extremely closely. What the Senate Dems are doing right now is disgusting, but as the President you have the bully pulpit to stop it. Democrats will back down if you turn up serious heat on them.

Moreover, I think public opinion is shifting towards the pro-life position. Dems will want you to nominate a moderate, but almost all will vote against you anyways. Pro-choice Repubs will likely still vote for you if you nominate a Scalia, after all, you campaigned on it. So Mr. President, I urge you to stick with your campaign statements and nominate justices who believe in judicial restraint, like Scalia and Thomas.

Happy Memorial Day and may God bless you and your family.

It's because 1 out of 4 of the under-30 generation was aborted.

The blood of over 40,000,000 Americans cries out...
