Don't criminalize partial birth abortions !

If organized religion were so sure of its moral authority,

        it would not need the power of the state to prevail on moral issues.

        The Armies of the Night would succeed by preaching alone to persuade

        millions of simple souls to keep the bambinos coming whatever the price

        in human misery.

                      All the melodramatic horror stories about partial birth

        abortion will not persuade more rational types than the Moral Majority

        that it is NOT a private medical matter and a matter of individual

        conscience.

                     The Pro-Life forces find inspiration -ironically - in

        President George W. Bush - a man -we are told - with a Biblical sense

        of right and wrong. Reflecting on state executions in his home state

        of Texas, and his righteous wrath in this complicated matter of war

        on terrorism, George W. is indeed a man of a holy book - the horrible

        Old Testament !

                       Is not Osama bin Laden also a man with a Biblical sense

        of right and wrong - his inspiration being the Holy Koran ?

                    Are not many right wing leaders of Israel men with a

        Biblical sense of right and wrong ?

                    Perhaps if REASON were to replace the authority of all holy

        books THIS world would be less of a hell !

                    I note from today's newspaper that the kidnapper of the

        Smart girl was also inspired by the holy book.

                  Show me a lunatic who found inspiration for his evil deeds

        in the books of Newton, Darwin, Einstein or Freud ?

                     By the way, is not more humane NOT to bring kids into

        this nightmare world ? The right to life is more often than not a

        right to a hell of a life !
