End Still Does Not Justify the Means

The Dianne Klein column was superb. We desperately need voices of rational thinking, such as yours, in these times when we are continually being confronted with so many irrational zealots trying to force their religious dogma on us. The idea that God wants every fertilized egg to go to term is ridiculous. If this should happen, the lives of every one of us on this planet would be soon affected, and the resources of our planet would rapidly be exhausted. Then life for all of us would be hell right here on Earth.

This “killing babies” stuff is nothing but a bunch of emotional clap-trap. The vast majority of the countries of the world are producing more babies than they can possibly feed and care for now. We have to hope that laws are soon passed here in the U.S. to protect a woman’s right to decide whether she wants children or not. Please keep doing your best to protect this important right.
