An abortion clinic in Philly decided to give free abortions in memory of Dr. Tiller, the abortion doctor who was recently murdered. I am very sorry that he was killed, not just for his family, but because this in no way helps the pro-life cause. When we have important things like the Freedom of Choice Act and sending foriegn aid to pay for abortions in other countries to worry about, killing an abortion doctor only makes us look like idiots. Anyways, back to the free abortions. As Tabitha from Pink Elephant Pundit said, “What better way to commemorate someone’s death than with some more death!”
Uncle Seth from Political Vindication shares some interesting insights about the Kennedy’s, Catholicism, and abortion.
He quotes this from Anne Hendershott in the Wall Street Journal:
Even Ted Kennedy, who gets a 100% pro-choice rating from the abortion-rights group Naral, was at one time pro-life. In fact, in 1971, a full year after New York had legalized abortion, the Massachusetts senator was still championing the rights of the unborn. In a letter to a constituent dated Aug. 3, 1971, he wrote: “When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family, and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from the very moment of conception.”
I find it very interesting that Teddy was once pro-life, I hadn’t known that. Too bad he changed his stance to align with his party. Now he supports the Freedom of Choice Act. He apparently chose his politics over his faith.
The Freedom of Choice Act is a bill that is currently in the United States Congress. This bill seeks to codify Roe Vs. Wade, and it will remove any and all restrictions that state or local governments have put on abortions before viability. Viability is defined as when the attending physician thinks that there is a reasonable likelihood of the sustained survival of the fetus outside of the woman. This is generally sometime after 22 weeks. The earliest anyone has survived a premature birth around 20 weeks. What this means is that all of the laws on the books that apply to abortion will be wiped away. Things such as parental notification laws, waiting periods, full disclosure of risks associated with abortions, and the Partial Birth Abortion Act will all be nullified.
