“Foe of Abortion”














Today’s New York Times features an article whose headline refers to Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas as a ”foe of abortion.” Interesting choice of words. Would the Times be willing to call Arlen Specter, Charles Schumer, Edward Kennedy, Richard Durbin, and the like “friends of abortion”?

Pictured above is our son, Evan. Of course, it’s a good thing we didn’t choose to have him or any of his sisters slaughtered. On the other hand, had we done so, we would have enjoyed full sanction of the government, where this grisly practice is, perversely, “settled law,” “the Law of the Land,” and, most chilling, a “freedom.”
