It is the anniversy I'm told on TV of the Roe vs. Wade. It showed a anti-abortion protest in Washington and some protesters praying for Mr. Bush's support to overturn the infamous Supreme Court decision. All I have to say is to be careful for what you wish for, you might get it. Supreme Court decisions have been overturned in the past. Plessy vs. Ferguson was overturned by Brown vs. Topeka and desegregated schools. It can occur.
Nobody nowadays recalls I'm sure what is was like when abortions were illegal and further back when birth control pamphlets were viewed as obscene literature. Are these protesters ready to educate horny teens with birth control (sorry parents but abstience is the best birth control does not address emotional pulls to disobey)? Are these protesters ready for more children and unwed mothers under the welfare system? Are these protesters ready for more babies thrown in dumpsters since uneduated teens might not realize or too scared to leave a baby at a hospital in safe haven law states? Are these protesters ready for scenes in the Dirty Dancing movie where a girl had illegal back alley abortion on a folding table without painkillers or santitation, and then refused to seek medical help because she would be charged with murder as she laid dying from infection, I'm guessing? Are these protesters ready to take on incest and rape issues, plus fetal problems that can kill the mother? Will these protesters promote adoption for unwanted babies if the decision is overturned?
The axe swinging women demanding prohibition of alcohol to save children from abusive drunk fathers in the 19th and early 20th Centuries did not see their saving the world amendment as giving birth to organized crime when the small-time criminals went to jail. These same women soon demanded the repeal when children were killed in bombings and street fights between gangs. Yet organized crime is still here. Go figure.
I am not really for or against abortion, it does not touch my life personally. I just want people who read this to consider unforeseen consequences to their actions, without learning the hard way. That's all. Post later. Bye!
