The Missing Third: "I Am Overwhelmed by 55 Million Babies Killed Since Roe v. Wade"

40 years ago today, seven men on the Supreme Court decided in favor
of a case presented to them from a 27 year-old, unknown, post-abortive lawyer, Sarah Weddington. That case was Roe v. Wade and, along with its companion Doe v. Bolton, it legalized abortion in all 9 months of pregnancy, for any reason, in the United States. Today, this 27 year-old is writing to you as a survivor of that decision. The undeniable fact is that nearly a third of my generation is missing. - - | LifeNews.com

Your Say

Woman's choice, reproductive health, ball of cells, not viable, coat hanger, post birth abortionl. All rhetoric aside, it just can't be right.

Roe v Wade marks the point at which human life itself lost its status as sacred: no life---let me repeat, no life---is sacred. The issue is far greater than that of the murder of one unlucky infant. Now, it is socially acceptable to forfeit anyone's life in the interest of reducing the public's inconvenience or cost.

By the time most of us realize this, alas, it will be far too late.

In the old noir detective movies they call this feeling I have about abortion a gut reaction. It's wrong, and everybody knows it's wrong, but nobody has the balls to do anything about it. Consequences aside, first, you do not murder. Yes, that is what it is.

How many times has one heard they just aborted another Mozart or Einstein.

The other side of that is consider how many Obamas might have been removed from the population pool.

Just sayin'.

Peccable, It is not for us to say who should live or die, Mozart/Obama. Maybe there is value in having a bad president. Maybe, just maybe, having this horrible man chosen to lead will wake up the populace to the growing danger of statist poseurs in office. I don't know, I'm not smart enough but I do know killing babies ain't right.

Considering that blacks, by far, make up the majority of the aborted babies (let's assume that 40 of the 55 were blacks), and considering that in 40 years, we easily have over 2 generations of child bearing possible, it is entirely likely that the U.S. is now missing perhaps 150 million black persons who would otherwise have been born and who would now live in the U.S.

Lots of possible implications of this!!??

Having 55 million babies aborted does not, after a moments thought, give you a net number. Some women are going to have a set number of babies whenever it is they have them, and abortion does not change that number. I even know one woman all too well who did not have an abortion and never had a larger family in large part because of that decision. It worked out for her son and his father eventually, and likely for all the children who were not born to her ever afterward. And so it goes.

Like a man already said here, it's to the point where in this age abortion usually indicates a degree of personal carelessness which is hard to address rationally. Blacks are high on that list, as are Russians. Among others, the Japanese and Italians are aborting themselves out of existence without the aid of a medical procedure.

I have absolutely no advice to anyone on abortion, but I know this--if I'd attended the abortion which that medical student did, my old way of seeing things would have changed much earlier.
