America's Deadly New Civil War

A lady behind us, as she pointed to a 26 week old

"fetus" that was preserved on display in a gallon-size

glass bottle, made the following comment to another

lady next to her: "That's the age my baby was." The

second lady responded, "Oh, you had a miscarriage at

26 weeks?" "No," the first lady replied, '1'm describing

my son -- the one who's now a freshman here in

meqical school, who was born very prematurely at 26

weeks." The "fetus" in the bottle was hardly the size

of a full grown hamster. The story hardly needs any

more commentary.

I was flabbergasted more recently to read that

"fetus" is Latin for "baby." Do the law and the courts

have any right to set priorities so that the ·convenience

of the mother takes precedence over the life of the

baby? Certainly not, says Supreme Court Justice

White.

Personally, I have never understood how some good

intentioned folks could conduct a candlelight vigil for

convicted murderers on death row and at the same

time be pro-abortion which is nothing more than

administering, yes, capital punishment to an innocent

unborn baby.

Free will is everybody's option. Nevertheless,

actions do have consequences. We can be both pro–

choice before creating life and pro-life thereafter.

Before conception there is a choice. After conception

there is a baby. The quick and deadly option of

abortion is wrong. Let the baby decide.

Much ink has been spilled over the years, and

certainly much blood shed, over these issues. This

monograph is just anc;>ther addition to the long list of

publications on these issues. Hopefully, the material
