An abortion post

I didn't write this, but it communicates something that I feel is very important about this issue. Who wrote it is irrelevant really. It's the idea that counts, not the author. Please read this carefully, and thoughtfully, and consider it with the full depth of your mind:

...because abortion as a form of birth-control is hardening the psyche of America into not seeing persons (as Jeffrey Snyder so well described in his essay "The Right Right"). Once a society begins to label people as "non-persons" because they are "unterMensch" (subhumans, e.g., Jews), or "mud-people" (e.g., blacks), or "vermin" (e.g., WW2 Japanese Americans) -- nobody is ever truly safe from not being seen as a person.

That is the greatest danger of an abortion culture. Who next will be stripped of his/her status of a person entitled to equal protection under the law? Prisoners? The terminally ill? The aged poor? The politically dissident? Terrorists?

Beware...
