Larry Elder has a great post today, Thanksgiving Day here in America. The article, at Townhall.com is entitled A Pro-Abortion Advocate Made This Case Against Abortion. Elder starts out by making the case that abortion weighed heavily against the red wave. I suspect he is right in this conclusion. People who voted because of fear of a loss of a "right" to abortion did so either out of gross ignorance (I suspect most) or out of a deeply evil impulse. The Supreme Court was right to strike down Roe on both legal and religious grounds. The legal grounds are that abortion is outside the scope of the Federal Constitution. It can be in the scope only by the passing of an amendment, not by interpretation. It is high time that the Supreme Court begin to return to reality, which is what Clarence Thomas was talking about with some of the other rulings of the Court that need to be struck down. The religious grounds, outside the Courts perview, but within our's is that the killing of an innocent baby is evil. There is no other word for it.
Thus, it is surprising that this advocate for abortion once upon a time made a very strong case against abortion, pointing out that the issues in the woman's life that caused her to seek an abortion should be dealt with directly. Go read Jesse Jackson's case against abortion. One has to wonder if Jackson found that giving up his principles for the equivalent of a mess of pottage was worth the price.
I should also point out that if you are a woman who has had an abortion, you can yet repent. Go see a pastor, confess and seek absolution. God still wants you and has a mission for you. Incidentally, saints need not apply, Jesus can for the lost and sinners, not the saints. If you are a woman thinking to abort, seek out a support group such as Lutherans For Life.
