Many statements made by the pro-abortion movement refer to their actions as “enlightened.” It is truly sad, but clearly representative of the pro-abortion movement in America, the tone in which they take to try and characterize their point of view. The unfortunate part is that they believe every word of their propaganda.
Fact: Roe v. Wade is not a law; it is a Supreme Court decision. There is a clear distinction between the two. Granted a decision such as Roe v. Wade can have a profound affect on society, but it is a glaring example of the destructiveness of judicial activism. Roe v. Wade is one of the most poorly written decisions in the history of the Supreme Court, period.
Let's not forgot the Supreme Court has blundered in the past. Scott v. Sandford in 1857 (supported slavery) and in 1899 Cumming v. Richmond County Board of Education (supporting segregation).
Fact: Data on why women say they had an abortion is scarce because pro-abortion lobbyists block every attempt by any government agency to collect this data efficiently. But, studies found few were done for health reasons or because the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest. Most women cited financial concerns or problems with their relationships, or said they weren't ready to have a child.
Is this a reason to end an innocent child's life? Is this what we as Americans want to stand for?
Fact: An overwhelming percentage of Americans do not feel abortions should be used to end an unwanted pregnancy (60 percent), oppose partial birth abortions (82 percent), or after 6 months (86 percent).
Here is the more telling fact. When people were asked if they would choose an abortion for themselves, 85 percent said no.
Fact: A high percentage of people support a 24-waiting period prior to an abortion (67 percent), would require parent notification for those under 18 years (71 percent), and support the rights of the father to have a say (62 percent).
We pass laws every day to protect our society, including laws that state what we can and cannot do with our own bodies. The fact a child does not have a name or a voice should not preclude them the protection of the most basic rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As a nation we are trading our unborn children for sake of not being inconvenienced. This is what pro-abortion advocates would have us believe is "enlightened."
