dcnovice -> RE: GOP prepares tough anti-abortion platform (8/22/2012 5:01:03 PM)

quote:
Remember that the "right to life" faction's interest in life ENDS at birth. It's about the FETUS, not the child who might need things like food, and education.
Marge Piercy makes this point quite powerfully (imho at least) in her poem Right to Life.
The salient lines:
You value children so dearly
that none ever go hungry, none weep
with no one to tend them when mothers
work, none lack fresh fruit,
none chew lead or cough to death and your
orphanages are empty. Every noon the best
restaurants serve poor children steaks.
