NYT Sheds Light on "The Unborn Paradox"
The New York Times' opinion page is not a place you expect to find an article on abortion rights. Certainly abortion-talk is terribly passe-- only lamented in the middle of the country and only from the pulpit. I can assure you we had this troublesome topic evaluated and settled by 1973 in Roe v. Wade. And although they were beating a dead horse, the Supreme Court re-visited the issue in 1992's Casey v. Planned Parenthood. No, we all agree that abortion is to be "safe, legal and rare"- end of discussion. At least, the Democrat's had felt it should be "safe, legal and rare" until 2008, and now... well, let's be honest- it is not terribly rare when the NYT's Ross Douthat (right) explained this week that 1 in 5 pregnancies end in abortion.
