Re: April 25 news story.
Fifty years of legal abortion is something to regretfully mourn, not celebrate. With all the advances in fetology and ultrasound, the world knows the bitter truth about abortion. Any lack of knowledge is gone.
Is it progress to go from not measuring humanity by skin color to measuring it by size, shape or place of residence, as in the womb? Progress would be “we know better now” and to close the final chapter of this nightmare. What superficially passes for women’s liberation is ironically and cynically the triumph of the men’s liberation movement — men have no responsibility for their actions but women have total.
And men are emasculated from their instinctual role as protector and provider, so they lose, too. The genuine solution is “love them both, mother and child. ” And no-cost full-spectrum care is available for women in crisis pregnancies, as is adoption. Letap be humane.
