HEARTLESS "CHOICE" AND NO "SOCIAL JUSTICE"

This is an election year. There will be lots of posturing for " choice" and "social justice." So let's just see how much social justice has come from legalized abortion on demand.

Since 1973, over 39 million children have been sacrificed on the altar of "choice." The abortion industry defends these abortions as serving a high moral purpose: "Every child, a wanted child," goes the Planned Parenthood slogan.

In their opinion, the "unwanted" child is better off being dead. They want to do the child a favor by aborting it. If the propagandists at Planned Parenthood were honest they would be saying: "Every unwanted child, a dead child." That at least would describe what the so-called "right to choose" is for. The principle of "wantedness" and the so-called "right to choose" cannot deliver social justice. Obviously, social justice is impossible if our right to life and our personhood are contingent upon somebody else wanting us to exist. "Every child, a wanted child" ultimately implies "every person, a wanted person." The next step is "every unwanted person, a dead person." And that's the end of liberty and justice.
