I just had a couple of random notes about abortion today that I wanted to share.  They didn’t fit anywhere else, so I guess they deserve their own post.

First, I see Rudy Giuliani (who I am absolutely not voting for now under any circumstances) believes that because abortions are a “constitutional right” they should be subsidized by our tax dollars.

My first response is that abortion isn’t a constitutional right.  If you believe it is, please point me in the direction of the amendment our founders (and national leaders since) wrote which was intended to make killing unborn children a right.  There isn’t one, because none of the amendments to the Constitution were intended to make that sort of activity a right.  Which hasn’t stopped judges from deciding on their own that this right is enshrined in the Constitution somewhere, but I digress.

Even if Giuliani is right and abortion is a Constitutionally-protected right, when will Giuliani be supporting subsidization for other rights?  Like private gun ownership, for instance?  I’d like to know when the government is going to buy everyone on my block a handgun.  I’m sure Giuliani will be on board, right?

Second, I see the radical feminist pro-abortion ghouls over at DakotaWomen have posted some nonsense about women “respecting their bodies” by being pro-choice.  Pardon me for being blunt, but shouldn’t women be “respecting their bodies” by not engaging in the sort of promiscuous sexual behavior that typically brings unwanted children into the picture?  And shouldn’t they respect their bodies by not asking some morally challenged physician stick his medical tools into her womb to kill their unborn children?

I’m just askin’.

Sometimes I wonder if these pro-abortion folks realize just how ghoulish their position really is.
