(June 15, 1995)<BR/><BR/>Melissa Drexler's prom. You can find the column here: http://www.lifeadvocate.org/9_97/comment2.htm<BR/><BR/>Some excerpts:<BR/><I>According to a friend, 18-year-old Melissa Drexler paused in front of the mirror in the bathroom to touch up her makeup before rejoining her date on the dance floor at the prom. She had just tossed her 6-pound, 6-ounce baby boy into a trash bin next to the bloodstained stall in the bathroom where she had given birth. "She seemed to be enjoying herself," said a classmate about Drexler's postpartum dancing....<BR/><BR/>Drexler may be charged with something. Maybe murder. Maybe endangering a child. (Maybe conducting a partial-birth abortion at a prom without a license?)....<BR/><BR/>She has grown up in a society that does not stress deferral of gratification, and it's not her fault that the baby arrived during the prom, for Pete's sake. She has come of age in a society where condom-dispensing schools teach sex education in the modern manner, which has been well-described as plumbing for hedonists. If she is like millions of other young adults, she has spent thousands of hours watching movies and television programs not designed to suggest that sexuality has morally complex dimensions and serious consequences. If she is like millions of other young adults, she has pumped into her ears thousands of hours of coarsening lyrics of popular music. And she certainly has grown up in a social atmosphere saturated with opinion leaders' collaboration with the political program of reducing abortion to a mere "choice," like choosing to smoke a cigarette....<BR/><BR/>However, foremost among the moral tutors who prepared Drexler to act as she did is the Supreme Court. By pretending in Roe v. Wade not to know when life begins, the Court encouraged looking away from the stark fact that abortion kills something. Ignoring elementary science, the Court said, preposterously, that a fetus is "potential life."....</I><BR/>Read it and weep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1133363131142047942005-11-30T10:05:00.000-05:002005-11-30T10:05:00.000-05:00In response to kwawk's comment.

Does he believe it is murder then or is the procedure more risky and he doesn't want to take that on?

One does not have to believe in an immortal soul to believe that abortion is the destruction of life and that all human life has some inherent value. The doc quite clearly believes he is killing a human, but he feels no regret since he believes he is saving a more valuable life in the process. He's wrong, and he's an admitted murderer, but at least he's honest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1133281458705919942005-11-29T11:24:00.000-05:002005-11-29T11:24:00.000-05:00You have to believe that the "matter" being remove...You have to believe that the "matter" being removed actually is a human being.
