Man always thinks he can release a few demons into the world and then control them.
--Wendell Barry
I knew it would come to this: in today's paper, George Will reports that in Florida recently, Alisa LaPolt Snow, representing Planned Parenthood, testified against a bill that would require abortionists to provide medical care to babies who survive attempted abotions.
When asked what Planned Parenthood would want to happen to a baby struggling for life as a result of a botched abortion, Snow answered that that decision should be between the patient and the health care provider. ["Health care"? What a euphemism!] A Florida legislator responded to Snow: "I think that at that point the patient would be the child struggling for life, wouldn't you agree?" [Good for him; I would have attempted murder myself at that point.]
It seems that Planned Parenthood is now into Consumer Protection. As George Will says so eloquently, " If you pay for an abortion, you are owed a dead baby."
Meanwhile, my heart aches for all the young women I know whose arms ache to hold a baby of their own, those who cannot bear children, and those who have had miscarriages. Shouldn't there be some way to bring these women together with those whose only option in life is abortion?
