39 Years of Mayhem, 55 Million Dead Are Enough!


After New Hampshire’s presidential primary, National Review reported that pro-life presidential candidate Rick Santorum had made three telling points about abortion: 1) Science demonstrates that human life is a continuum from conception until death; 2) The debate is about whether it is ever right to withhold the protection of the human community from a class of human beings, the unborn; and 3) Repeal of Roe v. Wade would put this debate back “in an arena where the American public can make this decision.”

Roe v Wade, in denying the protection of the Constitution to an entire class of human beings, hearkens back to the Dred Scott Decision that denied such protection to African-American human beings. And while reversal of Roe v Wade might not afford any legal protection to the unborn in California, for example, the choice would be democratic instead of elitist, the still controverted decision of seven black-robed men.

So I’m in for Santorum, a statesman who has never waffled on abortion.
