yes, when you drag yourself out to post, I respond to expose you for the hatred you bring to the table. You love slogans?....Here is a little something for you: "Women must have control over their own bodies." "Safe and legal abortion is every woman's right." "Who decides? You decide!" "Freedom of choice -- a basic American right." The "pro-choice movement's" emotionally compelling slogans -- fierce rallying cries of the most successful political marketing campaign in modern history, which made abortion-on-demand legal in the U.S. -- have been powerful rhetorical weapons for fighting off efforts to reverse Roe v. Wade, coming up on its 30th anniversary next month. "I remember laughing when we made those slogans up," recalls Bernard Nathanson, M.D., co-founder of pro-abortion group NARAL, reminiscing about the early days of the pro-abortion movement in the late '60s and early '70s. "We were looking for some sexy, catchy slogans to capture public opinion. They were very cynical slogans then, just as all of these slogans today are very, very cynical." Besides having served as chairman of the executive committee of NARAL -- originally, the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, and later renamed the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League -- as well as its medical committee, Nathanson was one of the principal architects and strategists of the abortion movement in the United States.

Now, tell me true; how many children did you save from abortion and then adopt? You can't just go out and adopt children who are marked for murder as you might adopt a quart of milk from the corner grocery store. This is especially true in some areas if you are white and wish to adopt a black kid thusly marked. Some blacks, mostly innercity-types, whine incessantly about racism; but let one of us aim to adopt one of them and they come en masse to call us all sorts of names and complain about how we are trying to deny "their" children their "heritage." The poor kids could be rotting away amongst them and all would be fine- except that whitey is "keepin' us down maan! Shooba daba!" But the point that most effectively destroys your implied argument here is that there is no logic, none at all, and no moral code at all, requiring one to adopt children merely because one thinks children ought not be murdered. If such logic existed, then you would be compelled to stop whining against our forces in Iraq and adopt "The CHILLLLdren" that we are "murdering" there. Hypocrites.
