The points made by G. Tracy Mehan need saying and re-saying. Sometimes a little perspective is necessary. We gloss over the fact that the 40 million choices made since Roe v. Wade meant that 40 million souls were never allowed to live through their gestation. We're often smug in our perceived goodness, and like to think of the United States as the "shining city on the hill," and the one-way traffic at the borders would tend to confirm it. But we neglect to look at ourselves as God would.

p>Forty million lives taken. Kind of makes Hitler and Eichmann with their 6 million, look like amateurs, doesn't it? And we're gaining on the evil empire, and the Chi-Coms who both took near 100 million while imposing the joys of Communism on their respective populations. We need to remind ourselves that Christ died for our sins too, and there are a bunch of them. br> -- John T. O'Connor br> Wallingford, Connecticut /p>

The sanctimonious pontificating by G. T. was just a tad too much. What is there about the word "choice" does he (and others in the Morality Police) not understand?
