On the holier than thou

Reading through last week's 'Salient', I begin to wonder what sort of intelligence these anti-abortion campaigners have. I have spoken to several coherent people who are anti-abortion, but these people have never written a letter to give their views. So it appears that we are left with the dregs such morons, as Mildred O'Donoghue (real name?) who advocates execution for those who seek abortion. As she says 'the punishment for murder should be death'. How pro-life! She is advocating murder herself, so I suggest she commits suicide before she is executed. How a Christian could believe this is beyond me (they are a weird bunch!). Why don't these desperate people concoct some other argument besides the tear-stained plea to our common humanity (shit!). People should have a look at the other emotional side and see the kids that are abandoned or maltreated for the first part of their miserable lives. How many of those holier-than-thou pro-life campaigners would try to adopt a child to prevent an abortion. More important, how many would be allowed to adopt, because the authorities are strict and don't want any nut-cases for foster parents. I suggest anti-abortionists shut up until they are married, then become vocal as they adopt the progeny for which they are indirectly responsible!! Then they might be doing something positive! As it is, pro-abortion seems slightly more positive than negative at present.
