When some people use incendiary words in reference to abortion, The Times says such language can lead to violent acts. Yet the paper sees nothing wrong with hauling out the verbal artillery when it addresses behavior it finds repugnant. But in the same period, more than 6 million babies have been denied their right to live. In the 25 years since the Roe vs. Wade ruling a staggering 30 million babies have died. No Times editorialist weeps for them or for what they might have become.
Abortion is an industry that makes millions of dollars by exploiting women.
As abortion is tolerated, pressure builds to remove protections on human life at other stages. That abortion is still conducted in secret, shielding us from confronting this immoral act, does not diminish its significance. But law detached from a moral code is an insufficient standard by which to order a society. Many of these centers are being transformed into medical clinics where sonograms allow pregnant women to see inside their bodies and gaze at another body. While the murder of Dr. Slepian must be deplored, his family gets sympathy because they can be seen.
