Dear Jaimi,
Thank you for forwarding the article from the London Daily Telegraph about “a leading British medical college call[ing] on the health profession to consider euthanasia for seriously disabled newborns… to spare parents the emotional and financial burdens of bringing up such children.”
I wrote in August (Read Here) about so-called bioethicists teaching that babies under three months old aren’t really “self-aware” and therefore can be “euthanized” – read killed – “ethically”.
Where else can you expect a society to go when it allows the abortion of millions of babies to spare mothers emotional and financial burdens? With certain Supreme Court Justices now basing their decisions on judicial opinions from other countries, are we beginning to slide down that same slippery slope? Who next will we mark for death?
Interestingly, this Wednesday – one day after the elections – the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on the prohibition of gruesome partial birth abortions. With the current make-up of the court, it is a toss-up which way they will decide.
This is exactly why I called this election so important – because there WILL be another vacancy for Bush to fill. Would you rather have another John Roberts or Samuel Alito with the Republicans, or another Ruth Bader Ginsburg with the Democrats?
Yes I’m tired of the “Vote-for-us-because-the-other-guys-are-even-worse” argument – but no way am I going to vote for the “Borking” of another Constitutional Constructionist.
So I will hold my nose, along with millions of other Freeborn Americans, and vote for Republicans, because the alternative IS worse!
