Maybe the kid will change Mom's mind about exactly what she's doing.
He is right. So was the child.
Parents that are pro-abortion risk the alienation of their children!! The children NEVER feel totally confident that the abortion wouldn't have happened to them!! It creates a feeling of unease and suspicion for the mother by the child. I have heard of it personally. Beware all you pro-abortion parents...you have been warned.
An honest liberal, not many of those left. He is also against capital punishment, a view I have come to share as of late, for various reasons.
Sorry, but this story is a glaring fabrication. If a leftist wrote something like this to push their agenda, everybody on FR would see the holes in it instantly. Nine years old, his mother performs abortions, and is comfortable chatting about that at the dinner table with guests, and the kid has never heard the word before, much less has any idea what it means??? This is a 10.0 on the BS meter.
Free abortions for all liberals!
Hentoff is awesome. Thanks for the post.
"But," said her son, "that means killing the baby."
This mother lost a good deal of her moral authority with this child when the 9 year old realized that mom was a self deluding crap artist.
Amen. I am convinced that there would be many fewer abortions if children learned about fetal development and abortion young - before the age of eight or so. They see clearly then and their sympathies are with the baby.
If they become aware of these matters when they are entering adolescence, then their own sexual desires and political "sophistication" go on the death side of the scales.

Hentoff has always been intellectually honest, for a Lib.

Anyone who thinks that what they know about the "right to choose" is correct should try explaining it to an eight-year old girl.
Wow, great article. Thanks for posting!
"That," he continued, "was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore out of your right to be concerned."
From the mouths of babes.
