About 'boulder abortion clinic'|Hundreds attend candlelight vigil for shot elk in city with notorious late-term abortion clinic








"There               have               been               approximately               36.5               million               abortions               in               the               twenty-five               years               since               the               U.S.

Supreme               Court               legalized               unrestricted               abortion               on               January               22,               1973"               (AGI               1).

These               figures,               collated               by               the               Allan               Guttmacher               Institute,               a               research               arm               of               the               Planned               Parenthood               Association,               also               states               that               these               figures               may               well               be               under-reported               by               as               much               as               7               percent.

There               is               no               more               divisive               social               subject               in               America               than               abortion.

Despite               the               Supreme               Court's               Roe               vs.

Wade               decision               to               "legalize"               the               woman's               right               to               choose               an               abortion,               as               more               and               more               conservative               Christians               join               the               mainstream,               there               are               not               merely               vocal               but               also               physical               antagonisms               on               the               subject.

Doctors               have               been               killed,               clinics               fire-bombed,               and               confrontations               between               the               two               "sides"               have               seldom               ended               peacefully.

The               purpose               of               this               essay               is               to               provide               some               reasons,               and               documentation,               why               the               idea               of               "pro-choice",               or               the               woman's               "freedom               to               choose"               what               to               do               with               her               body               is               morally               perverted               and               wrong.
               All               of               us               have               feelings               about               abortion,               including               the               doctors               who               perform               them,               or               refuse               to               do               so,               as               well               as               the               psychiatrists               who               often               need               to               counsel               and               treat               women               for               whom               abortion               is               a               mental               as               well               as               moral               conflict.

As               one               psychiatrist               writes:               "...we               often               treat               female               patients               who               have               had               an               abortion               and               feel               upset.

guilty               or               uneasy               about               the               choice               they               made.

The               decision               to               have               an               abortion               is               not               an               easy               one,               and               the               procedure               itself               leaves               patients               with               a               host               of               unresolved               issues"               (Benedek               985).
               In               looking               back               in               history,               it               is               interesting               to               note               that               abortion               was               accepted,               even               by               Catholics.

"Pope               Gregory               XIV,               who               ruled               at               the               end               of               the               sixteenth               century,               extended               the               (abortion)               period               to               116               days...Nor               was               acceptance               limited               to               Catholics.

Protestant               denominations               have               traditionally               held               more               or               less               the               same               opinion"               (Currie               11).

Of               course,               these               opinions               changed               by               the               eighteenth               century.

"By               the               mid-Nineteenth               century,               abortion               was               typically               regarded               as               both               criminal               and               immoral"               (Currie               12).

That               view               remains               among               many               who               believe               in               the               sanctity               of               life,               and               in               the               fact               that               life               exists               from               the               moment               of               conception.
               There               are               many               arguments               about               the               issue,               and               that               means               that               "sides"               tend               to               be               chosen               and               viewpoints               magnified.

Those               who               are               pro-abortion               will               say               that               abortion               is               "impossible               to               eliminate.

If               abortion               is               made               illegal,               illegal               clinics               will               spring               up               all               over,               many               with               unsanitary               facilities,               and               poor               treatment;               women,               we               are               told,               will               die"               (Currie               50).

Of               course,               what               pro-abortionists               are               NOT               saying               is               that,               as               a               result               of               an               abortion               fetuses               will               die.

Perhaps               what               the               real               argument               has               turned               out               to               be               is               neither               medical               or               psychological,               religious               or               moral,               but               political.

"The               abortion               issue               has               put               policymakers               and               citizens               in               myriad               political               and               personal               dilemmas               because               many               people               view               abortion               issue               in               moral               or               religious               terms;               others               view               it               s               a               matter               of               personal               liberty.

Thus,               to               compromise               concerning               abortion               goes               against               many               individuals'               firmly               held               religious,               moral,               or               ideological               beliefs"               (O'Connor               3).

However               as               O'Connor               (1996)               points               out,               the               national               debate               and               the               anger               of               the               opponents               did               not               really               surface               until               after               the               Supreme               Court               Roe               v.

Wade               decision               in               1973.
               Even               those               who               are               against               abortion,               regardless               of               why,               are               somewhat               dismayed               by               some               of               the               vigorous               activities,               including               clinic               bombings               and               even               the               murder               of               several               "abortion               doctors".

If               these               devout               believers               feel               that               abortion               is               murder,               than               to               murder               for               their               anti-murder               beliefs               is               not               only               ludicrous,               but               totally               wrongheaded.

As               long               as               there               are               logical               and               competent               advocates               against               abortion,               then               there               are               no               one's               rights               being               trampled               and               no               hatred               involved.

But,               the               truth               is               that               the               anti-abortion               issue               has               brought               out               some               figures               who               seek               publicity               (and               are               getting               it).

Jerry               Falwell               and               the               development               of               the               Moral               Majority               come               to               mind               immediately.

It               was               nothing               less               than               a               fund-raising               effort.

"Having               founded               the               Moral               Majority               in               June               1979,               Falwell               took               to               the               airwaves...to               initiate               a               major               fundraising               effort.

His               own               personal               mailing               list               of               some               250,000               supporters               formed               the               initial               base               for               this..."               (O'Connor               84).

Incidentally,               according               to               O'Connor               (85)               the               Moral               Majority's               initial;               fundraising               campaign               brought               in               more               than               one               million               dollars               a               week.
               What               all               this               fund-raising,               and               the               attempt               to               turn               evangelical               Christians               into               a               political               force               forgets               about               is               the               fundamental               morality               of               abortion.

It               has               been               turned               into               a               "cause",               when               what               is               really               needed               is               some               self-examination               and               a               reliance               on               one's               fundamental               beliefs               in               the               right               to               life.

One               can               argue               for               eternity               about               when               life               begins.

But,               it               might               be               wise               to               stop               worrying               about               chronology,               and               worry               instead               about               finding               some               means               to               extend               that               fetus'               life               and,               hopefully,               have               it               become               a               productive               member               of               the               world's               society.

"Most               people               assume               the               great,               divisive               abortion               argument               is               at               bottom               an               argument               about               a               moral               and               metaphysical               issue:               whether               an               even               just-fertilized               embryo               is               already               a               human               creature               with               rights               and               interests               of               its               own"(Dworkin               30).

As               the               author               points               out,               the               issues               go               far               beyond               merely               conservative               or               liberal,               politically               or               religiously.

In               this               regard,               the               issue               of               separation               of               Church               and               State               is               often               raised.

It               is               difficult               for               some               people               to               believe               that               their               government               has               a               right               to               legislate               an               issue               that               should               be               a               moral               and               religious               one-               something               that               a               person               who               either               has               or               does               not               have               faith,               should               decide.

This               issue               is               not               necessarily               a               pro-abortion               stance,               but               merely               an               examination               of               why               there               is               an               argument               against               legislation,               even               by               many               who               are               opposed               to               abortion.

In               other               words,               what               these               people               are               saying               abortion               is               wrong,               but               there               should               not               necessarily               be               a               "legal"               pronouncement               about               it.
               What               seems               unfortunate               is               that               the               battle               over               abortion               has               become               a               battle               among               various               religious               sects.

"In               the               United               States               opinions               about               abortion               correlate               dramatically               with               religious               belief.

According               to               the               1984               American               National               Election               study,               22               percent               of               Baptists               and               Fundamentalists,               16               percent               of               Southern               Baptists,               and               15               percent               of               Catholics               then               believed               that               abortions               should               never               be               permitted.

The               same               survey               showed               that               Lutherans               (9               percent               of               whom               would               permit               no               abortions)               and               Methodists               (8               percent)               were               more               liberal               denominations,               Episcopalians               (3               percent)               and               Jews               (4               percent_               even               more               so"               (Dworkin               35).

Interestingly               enough,               these               figur4s               also               tend               to               relate               to               social               status               of               those               polled,               which               would               translate               to               upper               social               strata               more               "liberal"               about               abortion               issues               than               lower,               and               middle               class.
               As               was               mentioned               earlier,               the               hue               and               cry               about               abortion               began               after               the               Roe               v.

Wade               decision.

Dworkin               (1993)               has               his               explanation               in               that               the               Court               decided               that               the               fetus               was               not               a               "constitutional"               person.

However,               the               decision               seemed               to               leave               it               up               to               the               individual               states               to               come               to               their               own               decision.

"Once               again               we               must               take               care               not               to               become               confused               by               the               ambiguities               in               the               word               'person'...A               state               may               punish               someone               who               either               deliberately               or               recklessly               injures               a               pregnant               woman,               and               punish               him               more               severely               if               the               injuries               result               in               fetal               dame               or               miscarriage"               (Dworkin               113).

But               this               still               does               not               cover               the               fact               that               a               fetus               is               "alive".
               What               we               face               in               the               Abortion               Debate               will               have               to               deal               with               the               legal,               and               not               the               moral               issues               of               the               life               of               a               fetus.

It               may               be               simplistic               to               observe               that               if               a               fetus               is               legally               declared               a               person,               then               an               abortion               is               murder.

               What               is               often               overlooked               in               the               pro-choice               movement               is               that               there               are               surely               sufficient               families               who               cannot               have               their               own               children,               or               are               willing               to               adopt.
