Some endorse unhealthy choices for women

A culture of death? Do we doubt it? And is it any wonder? Look at the voices backing it up. Specifically abortion. Billie Jean King, the famous tennis player who had an abortion.

And our own president. He stated that his daughter and others should have that choice if they wanted it. So his own grandchild could be on the sacrifice table if it suited the purpose of his daughter. What a terrible suggestion to make.

And to say that it is to protect women. What about the accompanying problems of such an act? Nothing is said about the often lifelong psychological problems that follow a woman who has destroyed her own unborn child.

A bit less drastic is the scenario that is being backed by the president and Miss (Sandra) Fluke. She is crying that it is untenable that insurance not pay for her birth control and that of other students in her college. This is available to them for only a few dollars if they so choose.

I can think of no reason why the government or insurance should pay for promiscuous sexual activities of college students to ensure their “safety” from pregnancy, only to expose them to much greater dangers, such as sexually transmitted diseases and side effects from birth control.
