I was hoping (wishful thinking, I know) that it wouldn’t come down to this but it looks like the abortion debate will take center stage in Roberts’ confirmation process. Today I read the following statements by my beloved [cough] U.S. Senator, Barbara Boxer:
- She fears that a more conservative court could lead "to the days of back alley illegal abortions." Why is it that pro-aborts always have to use this outrageous argument to get sympathy? They want you to believe that 13 year old girls are going to have to use coat-hangers to kill their babies to get you to support their cause. This is such an unbelievable attempt to claim the moral high ground!
- She needs to know “whether he would fight to protect the rights and freedoms of the American people.” First of all, it most be noted that Ms. Boxer thinks you’re a person only if you happen to be all the way out of the birth canal.
- She thinks that "this one vote means so much to countless women." And, you know what, she’s absolutely right. It has harrowing significance to an innumerable amount of women and girls, both born and preborn.
If liberals didn’t have to consistently use judicial activism to get their own way on policy matters, this fight wouldn’t mean so much to them. The fact that they must rely on jurists in black robes to rewrite the Constitution to get what they want speaks volumes of how bitter this confirmation process is going to be.

It infuriates me how the abortion proponents keep repeating their catch-phrases of 'back-alley abortions' and 'safe, legal, and rare,' because there is precious little that is safe about abortions right now. It's a money-making industry with little oversight and controls, and involves butchery and barbarism to BOTH mother and child. No woman can be the better for it, and it is a crime that women are not better informed of the risks instead of being assured that, since it's legal, it must be safe, well within mainstream medical practise, and answerable to some form of medical accountability.
Well said, Amy & Rose! In all of my years of listening to women sob over the mistakes they have made in their youth, not one of them believes they made the correct decision when they chose abortion. The abortion route seemed like a ‘quick fix’ to what seemed to be an insurmountable problem. Instead of being a safe way out, it left them with years of sorrow, sadness, guilt, and regret. Hindsight can be 20/20, but during their time of desperation, the legal and free abortion seemed the fastest solution. ~Sherri
