Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. Thomas Paine, writing from Philadelphia, February 14, 1776

In honor of Roe vs Wade
The White House released a statement from President Obama on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. In this statement the president made the pronouncement that America "is a country where everyone deserves the same freedom and opportunities to fulfill their dreams." The problem with this statement is, for him, "everyone" does not include children who have not yet breathed fresh air. His statement also spoke of a woman’s choices about her body and renewed his dedication "to protecting a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care and her constitutional right to privacy, including the right to reproductive freedom."
Let's clarify the president's terminology. First, the term "reproductive freedom" actually means "the right to have your pre-born child slaughtered by a so-called health professional." Second, the phrase "a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care" can be translated into "no women should actually have to pay for her abortion." I wonder if the president knows that abortion is the number one cause of death in the black commmunity.
