Abortion Ruling Anniversary Marked

It's very popular for families to picket the PPs in Minnesota with the kids holding signs that say "My mom chose life."

Do they not realize that those signs are implying that there should be a choice. It always makes me laugh when people don't realize that their signs are supporting the other side.

I read this newspaper article about young people in high school who fight for the "pro-lifers" at the Capitol.

The article was interesting and vehement beliefs held by these "kids". Or until the kids actually get into these situations themselves...

What I wonder, when the legalization was approved by the Supreme Court in 1973, before that time, young women were impregnated and took wire hangers and removed the fetus from their uterus in a back alley. If those are the days we want to go back to, hey, I am at the age where I have yet to care, personally. But I doubt the medical establishment or the families want to suffer the pain they saw when lack of contraception or contraceptive failure caused UNWANTED pregnancies.

I think that the point for pro-lifers is not that there SHOULD be a choice, but that, given that there currently is, the result of choosing life is - a child. I imagine they are trying to put a face to an otherwise hypothetical concept.I still don't like the idea of using kids to make a point.
