The Times did not provide coverage of the Pro Life Rally in Washington, D.C., last week.
The Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision has, to date, contributed to the murder of 60 million-plus unborn children.
The Roe decision mirrors the1856 Dred Scott decision and should be looked at with equal horror. Dred Scott v. Sanford asserted that Scott was not a person but was a thing, the property of his master and, as such, had no rights.
Roe v. Wade forwards the idea that an unborn child is not a person but a thing, a mass of tissue and has no rights. At fertilization there exists an organism with a unique genetic pattern and 46 chromosomes distinct and different from his or her mother.
The 2004 "Unborn Victims of Violence Act" lists 60 different acts of violence against unborn children, at any stage of development, that constitute federal crimes. To claim in this day and age that an unborn child is not human and not a person requires a willful disregard of biology, science, common sense and morality.
