Then traditional wisdom at the time was the court decision would lesson the stress caused by abortion. Traditional wisdom was dead wrong. It has been the most divisive issue in American history in the last twenty-six years. Today we are here, lamenting and grieving the decision that has caused the death of 36 million of the unborn. I hate to say it but in my opinion the battle is not getting better, it is getting bitterer.
Hate continues to grow.
License for hate continues to be given and the walls continue to go up. Today, the charge of intolerance is a very powerful weapon in the war of values. It takes very little to substantiate and carries a heavy emotional weight. Today, personal conviction is damned if it confronts a personal choice. The battle is not getting better, its getting bitterer - and that's not good.
