Theme:  Abortion is the practice of killing the weakest and most defenseless among us, unethically depriving them of the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, just as slaves in captivity and the targeted Jews.  Tragically, it has been ingrained within our culture, that our unborn children are routinely sacrificed on the twin altars of feminist ideology and convenience.

Abortion is the practice of killing the weakest and most defenseless among us.  Yet, tragically, it has been ingrained in our culture.  Since the Supreme Court handed down the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, which established the constitutional right of women to terminate their pregnancies (Wittes), some 40 million abortions have been committed in this nation.  This is almost a third of the number of live babies born during the same time.  At any high school graduation ceremony this year, consider that one third of the graduating class is missing.  They were deprived of the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness written about by our founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence.  People are taken aback upon inquiring about the human sacrifices of ancient cultures.  Yet, our unborn children are routinely sacrificed on the twin altars of feminist ideology and convenience.  The world was appalled by the horrors of the German holocaust where six million Jews were striped of their lives.  Yet in our own American holocaust, over six times that number of innocent babies ruthlessly handed over their lives.  Why has this happened in our “enlightened” time?  What can be done to cease this evil?

Multitudes of people in our society have come to believe that they benefit from abortion.  They have been convinced by endless propaganda that the practice of unrestricted abortion is good and that it must be protected at all costs.  This extreme view comes from the radical feminists who argue feverishly that women should have the right to choose to kill their unborn children.  They fail to see that if a choice needs to be made, it should be made before the conception of a child.  After conception, is far too late.  A child who is an individual has been created.  People have seen sonograms of smiling fetuses, they’ve seen the mangled remains of aborted babies, they’ve heard the ghastly arguments from NARAL termagants, and they’ve seen untold women marking the birth dates of their terminated children with weeping and despair (Coulter).  According to Bertrand Russel, “One of the most important principles of traditional Western civilization is that one individual should not kill another for convenience.”  The feminists have cast this principle aside by allowing women the right of choice.  There is no defined difference between killing a child before or after it is born.

In the minds of radical feminists, men and women are engaged in an ongoing power struggle.  This notion originates from their Marxist heritage.  Karl Marx, whose writings led to the disaster of communism, believed that, “society was dominated by a struggle between the bourgeoisie (owners of production) and the proletariat (workers).”  Although Marx says nothing about a struggle between men and women, the feminists adapted his revolutionary rhetoric to their own cause.  Feminists believe that for women to win their struggle, they must have total control over child bearing and be capable of killing their unborn children on demand.  Moreover, there ...
