No Pax Roeanna

A recurring plot in many of our Sci-Fi movies is the aliens coming in the nick of time to prevent earth from being destroyed by man’s destructive behavior. I am of the humble opinion that if there were indeed aliens, they would warp-speed to earth to intercede on behalf of the unrelenting slaughter of the innocents, and perhaps, in addition, abducting Al Gore for the charlatan that he is-but I digress. These aliens would ask our great minds what would possess a species to engage in such bloodletting against its young. But of course, I am having dreams of grandeur because according to most of the powers that be in Hollywood, the unborn is not deemed to be endangered. President Obama tried to bridge the chasm between those who support abortion or those who oppose it when he visited Notre Dame; but no eloquence or good will towards the First African American President can bridge the divide. This middle of the road position on the abortion issue rings hollow compare to the latitude and spirited defense some of the Liberal persuasion give for those terrorists who were subjected water boarded, including the defense the ACLU uses for pedophiles, and I dare say it again, the sheer hatred the animal rights loons have for Michael Vick for his taking part in fighting Pit-Bulls. There will never be a compromise between the opposing sides on the issue of abortion; someone like me cannot get the logic that something becomes life after a certain trimester, especially, since those who support abortion, also support stem cells research. It’s akin to having your cake and eating it too. I would be lying to say that if I or my family were suffering from any disease, which potentially could be cured by stem cell research, borne out of dead and discarded fetuses that I wouldn’t be tempted to utilize whatever remedies that came from such research. With that said, I hope that I would have the courage to refuse. I once envisioned a newspaper cartoon which depicted a woman five months or so pregnant, who visited a clinic, then rid herself of the baby--not because of any compelling exceptions like a threat to her health, incest, or rape, but because of Roe. That same liberated former mother was subsequently seen with a placard, taking part in protests against the war and calling the President a killer; she was extolled by her friends for playing an integral part in the issue of the day—with said friends missing the glaring irony….Justice Scali a long ago wrote that the abortion issue has not produced the peace envisioned in Roe v. Wade (Pax Roeanna) among our citizens and it seems that this will be the social and political status quo for the foreseeable future.
