(Picture Courtesy of the Edwards campaign website)The Democratic Presidential candidates are once again expressing their views on abortion.
Standing before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Elizabeth Edwards praised her husband's universal health care plan because it included "pregnancy termination."
Wow! I have never heard abortion be described in such sterile terms before: "Pregnancy termination." There is no mention of killing a human being. There is no mention of the mental trauma that abortion can inflict on a woman. It is as easy as turning off a light switch.
Another point, why do we care what Elizabeth Edwards says? She isn't running for President, John is. I realize that in terms of public relations, it makes sense to have a woman speak about reproductive rights since liberals consider women to be the sole authority on that issue even though the babies being killed are both women and men. Unfortunately, I only have so much time in a day to pay attention to politics. I frankly don't want to listen to the wives of Presidential candidates. Hearing the Presidential candidates themselves is painful enough.
I must say though, it's disheartening to see leaders in our country de-value life the way pro-abortion advocates like John Edwards do.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama also expressed an interest in formulating a health plan that includes greater access to abortion.
Barack, if I were you, I would examine abortion's impact on African Americans. You might change your mind after doing some reading.
According to Day Gardner, the President of the National Black Pro-Life Union, "Since 1973, MORE THAN 44 million unborn children have been legally killed in this country--of those killed almost 15 million of them where black."
The number of illegal abortions that killed African Americans cannot even be counted. But I am sure that number is also fairly large.
