The Freedom to Choose

I am quite confident that by now we are all familar with the story of the USC student who gave birth and promptly left her newborn in a dumpster. Excuse me.. NEXT to the dumpster in a box.

What is confusing to this simpleton is the shock (and some outrage) that I have heard on talk radio and local television news. How can we as a society be angry with a responsible young lady exercising her right to a postpartum abortion? Granted her timing could have been better. If she had this done "professionally" a couple of months ago, she could have been used as an example of a freedom-loving American purusing happiness and being in control of her reproductive rights. My guess would be that she could not get down to her local butcher-- I mean doctor--to have this done properly because of the high price of gasoline. In a roundabout way, we can probably blame this on the current Bush administration for lining the pockets of his "big oil!!" buddies with the blood of her "aborted" son.

Of course, all of this is tongue-in-cheek (I have to point that out for the benefit of some).

This is not only sad, it is quite pathetic. Since this girl has been old enough to dress herself, she has probably heard nothing except for the fact that this is HER body and her RIGHT TO CHOOSE is more important above all else. If a baby is a just a minor inconvenience that can be tossed in the trash in a medical facility, can we really expect young adults to know the difference? It is quite a thin line. Just one birth canal and a medical degree away from perfectly legal.

If the loudmouths on the left can blame the NRA and gun manufacturers for the criminal irresponsibility of gun violence, can we blame Planned Parenthood and the pro-kill-the-babies lobby for this travesty?

At least the gun manufacturers put a safety on their guns.
