Reply #5: So before we were a consumer society, women didn't have abortions? [View All]

[Iris]

"What we need in America is a spiritual rebirth, a turning away from the false value of consumerism and utilitarianism that have trumped every aspect of human life. To implement this vision we need leaders that inspire but to do so they have to be what they say they are. It's not about policy it's about character."


er... yeah, right.


While I can respect someone who is pro-life who also sees the importance of a social safety net for families as well as decent sex education, I have a real problem with the idea that a "spiritual rebirth" will create a place where no woman would ever have to have an abortion. It's just not realistic.
