Many years ago we learned that Princeton’s own Professor Peter Singer had devised a method by which to excuse some human persons from the human race and welcome into it other entities which were in fact animals
When Colorado pro-life folks decided to pursue human personhood four years ago, everybody who was anybody in pro-life political circles either panned the idea, saying the time was not right, or publicly argued that it wasn’t prudent to talk about preborn babies as persons because America wasn’t ready to hear the message.

Headlines and news itself are frequently misleading. Among recent examples is the celebratory announcement “Green light given to the world’s first stem cell treatment on humans.”
“Catholic health care institutions are not to provide abortion services, even based upon the principle of material cooperation. In this context, Catholic health care institutions need to be concerned about the danger of scandal in any association with abortion providers.”
Antonia Senior’s recent opinion piece in the Times entitled “Yes, abortion is killing. But it’s the lesser evil” has been analyzed by pro-life writers Dave Andrusko and Albert Mohler, who are both disturbed by her statement “If you are willing to die for a cause, you must be prepared to kill for it, too.”
The Wall Street Journal’s William McGurn recently opined that while 47 percent of Americans now describe themselves as pro-life, they do not want abortion to be totally illegal; they only want it to be available “under certain circumstances.”
There may be serious and justifying reasons for killing pre-personal, fetal life. The decision on that belongs naturally to the woman who carries that life. Women have a far better track record than men when it comes to cherishing and protecting life. Let’s leave abortion decisions up to them.
