Democrats limit choice when it comes to the 15% of Democrats in
Congress who are Pro Life. Several tried to voice their position at recent past conventions but were
not able to get their views put in the platform. The Democrats for Life were also denied a link to their site on the
Democrat Party's site. Accordingly, the Pro Choice Democrats are totalitarian and really
do not allow any real choice.
Also the power of choice seems to apply to one of the three
persons in an abortion. The child and father are not allowed any choice in the matter. The child, the innocent third
party has no choice and is terminated. Nothing is said about the child's rights.
Roe versus Wade also was based on the Supreme Court not knowing when life begins. Today, babies
are living outside the womb earlier and earlier. The Supreme Court should at least take this in consideration in revising
Roe versus Wade. Otherwise, they defy common sense and the law automatically.

Death penalty, abortion: matters of life, death _________________________________________
Regina Brett ( re.:
column comparing abortion and capital punishment. ) clouds the issue of abortion in comparing it to capital punishment. In
an abortion, an innocent third party is "executed," having nothing to do with the actions of the primary parties. There is
no call from the governor to stop the procedure.
Furthermore, with Roe v.
Wade, we have a society that participates in what many of us feel is a "baby holocaust." And by using the terms embryos
and fetuses, a subhuman slant is put on th exercise itself. This opens the door to "mercy killing" and God knows what
in the manipulation of human parts.
Finally, it is ludicrous
to lump the right-to-lifers as seemingly being universal in their support of capital punishment. The Pope himself forgave
the man who tried to kill him.

Regarding Regina Brett's
column on George W. Bush's day to promote the sancity of human life:
The question isn't,
"How can someone promote pro-life and (not) oppose capital punishment," but rather, "How can someone be against the execution
of murders, etc, and not decry the killing of millions of innocent babies?"
