#1) Is it a Religious Issue ??
The abortion groups have been doing everything they can to 'confuse' the issue by painting it as a 'religious' issue, thereby standing atop their loose ground on a defense without merit ....
Here's why .... They, the abortionists bleat out 'Seperation of Church & State as their First Line of Defense to hold Wade together as a Constitutional 'Right' (!!!!).
Now say a fella like myself wanted to hire a lawyer to prevent my mate from Popping the Head of my Daughter -- (as almost from the beginning the Sex has been determined)-- as though it were a disagreeable or unwanted Grape in the batch.
Now .... as the Life-Long Loving Son of a Life Long Abortionist Physician ... who has never spent a day of his life in church ....
.... BUT ... who has read the entire Old & New Testaments through TWICE, page one to page last ... in order to see what all the Hullaballo is all about ....
.... AND ... who has concluded that the Jewish end of the Bibble is basically a Document used in recent ages to steal Real Estate from a bunch of Goat Herders ....
... AND ... that the Jesus People end of the Bibble is basically a Document used to coerce me into living a life like a Mother Theresa .... I simply say ... Tammy Faye & Friends 'why don'cha Yank that Log outta yer own Eye 'fore ya's go tellin me 'bout the Speck in me own life.
If'n some Joker like meself stood in front of the Supreme Court Justices across from say the defendent, Faye Watlestone, or Waterhourse or whadeva her name iz ... her Church & State case would collapse ... and in said Faye's deflation, we would very quickly find her zappin across the courtroom like a spent helium balloon.
#2) Is it a Constitutional Issue ??
The debate re: Wade remains in flux. Advocates from both sides advocating that it is or is not a 'constitutional right' which the Madisons, Jays, Hamiltons, et al said absolutely zip about.
There's some guy that hosts and who uses another Threading Room to hawk his books that wears glasses that sees something that Madison did not ever imagine a Human Being would ever consider plopping down into His Baby.
#3) Is it an 'Emotional' Issue ??
UNFORTUNATELY IT IS ... even though Emotionalism has NO place deciding a case ... else the Rule of the Lynch Mob ... as Joe Friday said; "Just the Facts Ma'am"
.... BUT AS YOU'VE WRIT ---
"@Cow Head Soup ... I can't imagine some poor woman, in desperate straights, knowing that she's HIV positive, or who just realized she was pregnant after using meth for the last 3 months, whose boyfriend just dumped her, who just got divorced and is barely making it, whose husband just died and already has three kids, who just got raped, etc. having to sit there and be shown pictures of aborted fetuses or sit there and get an ultrasound to make it seem more "real" to her. She knows it's real."
Any attorney or judge worth his salt would quickly sift through the blather looking for the facts-in-question ....
CHINESE STATE POLICE: "Does the 'Life-Widget' have a determined Sex yet?"
FUNAN PHYSICIAN: "Yes Comrade Leader, the four week old 'widget' has the genetic code of a disagreeable female"
CHINESE STATE POLICE: "Dispose of the 'Thing' at once. Tell the mother that we need Widgets who will Serve in the People's Liberation Army or can drag a plow. --- Now tell her to get back to work .... AND TRY HARDER NEXT TIME !!!"
#4) Is it an Issue for The Courts of Posterity
At Nuremburg .... the People asked; "WHY ?? ... How could Society have allowed this to happen ??"
YES .... force those who turned their looks away from the Oven Factories to sit and watch films of "What is Happening" .... And YES .... tell N.O.W. to stop their interferance of showing women that the 'Widget' they are Disposing is NOT merely a Gall Bladder. Ignorance has NO PLACE in a democracy.
Should the mother finish watching the PBS microcameras that enter the womb and provide said-mother with a wide array of Pro-Life & Pro-Choice literature and said-mother INTELLIGENTLY makes up her mind to dispose of the Widget OR Thing OR Grape-Headed-Girl or Boy-already-programed to grow in excess of 6 feet 2 inches OR be badly deformed with 3 feet OR Whatever !! ...... THEN .... allow her to proceed with the 'Choice' .... but a well informed choice.
And IF the bills are flooding in .... or the Lunk who hopped atop of her after a Wild Nite at "Sloppy Joes" ... allow the mother the choice of knowing that she can put the Girl Widget up for adoption ..... there are 3 year waiting lists of childless couples who are begging the Bureaucrats to cut their Red Tape so that they don't have to go overseas for a child to love.
We are on the Eve of a Thousand Medical Breakthroughs that will most certainly come about in the not so distant future.
I don't think that any thoughtful person 10 or 20 or 50 years from now will think that the present day Abortion Industry that promotes Ignorance will favor any better than those who look back on what like-minded Americans did to Africans in the Past.
