Libertarian Revisits Abortion Rights
LINK here: "Why I Changed My Mind about Abortion" by Andrew Klavan
The whole article is worth reading, but here is the hook:
'Until quite recently, I was pro-abortion. I opposed Roe V. Wade — I thought it a dishonest decision that robbed the people of their right to settle the matter for themselves. But given the chance to vote on the issue, I would have voted for the greatest possible abortion access. While I myself live according to my conservative lights, I've never felt I have the right to impose those values on others...'
And here is one well-stated point about the public dialogue on abortion:
'Whenever I hear abortion spokespeople defend their position — and I mean, whenever I hear them — they seem to me determined to obscure the real issue. They talk about being “pro-choice,” but who among their opponents is anti-choice? They talk about “women’s health,” but what sinister constituency demands that women be unhealthy? They talk about “protecting a woman’s body,” but it’s not the woman’s body under threat, it’s the body of the baby inside her.'

"The Poor" as a Reality, not a Concept
A typically well-researched and well-stated article from an old friend who has labored in the domestic policy realm for years; here's Jennifer A. Marshall on really helping "the poor."

Abortion: a Brutal "Justice"
In this article, children conceived in rape and incest speak about the value of their lives and the injustice of abortion laws towards others like them.
What if Americans bent our minds and our resources to love and help brutalized women rather than establish laws protecting the brutalization of the children?
As one woman says in the article, why should I die because my father was evil? I think we can do better for women and children than offer death as an answer to death.
