Pro-Abortion Protest Kicks Off

The pro-abortion rally kicked off this morning in Washington D.C. with some words from Senator Hillary Clinton.

From The Associated Press:

Tens of thousands of women gathered for an abortion-rights rally Sunday as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told several hundred of them the issue is about women gaining full equality.

At a pre-rally breakfast, Clinton said the Bush administration is "filled with people" who view the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion ruling by the Supreme Court "the worst abomination of constitutional law."

"This administration is filled with people who disparage sexual harassment laws, who claim the pay gap between women and men is phony ... who consider Roe v. Wade the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history," said Clinton, D-N.Y.


The Bush administration "disparages" sexual harassment laws? They said the man-woman pay gap is phony? When? Who, specifically, did the disparaging? Honestly, I'm not certain I'm willing to listen to criticism over sexual harassment laws from the wife of a serial harasser. I mean, her husband's presidential legacy is office-place sex. Where does she get the gall to lecture about sexual harassment?

Lets see, George W. Bush has placed women in some of the most powerful and influential positions in a Presidential administration. Condoleeza Rice is the highest-ranking woman ever to hold office in the executive branch. Senator Clinton's husband is best known for an Oval Office blow-job. Sounds like the pot trying to call the kettle black to me.

As for her remarks about Roe vs. Wade, I think she's right on target. Most Republicans do feel that the decision is an abomination. It gives mothers the right to kill their children. If that's not an abomination I don't know what is.

Senator Clinton is making abortion an equal rights for women issue, but who exactly are women unequal to when it comes to killing their children? Men certainly don't have the right to kill the children they don't want. So maybe she's right, we should make things equal. But which way should we go? Should we allow men the option of forcing an abortion or should we just stop abortions altogether?

I'm for the latter option.
