the limits of choice
By Diogenes (articles ) | September 22, 2006 8:40 AM
Now I've seen everything: Ellen Goodman has discovered circumstances in which she does not support legal abortion.
Yes, when a woman is bound and gagged and delivered at gunpoint to the abortion clinic, even Ellen Goodman notices that something is wrong. Moreover, she assures us, the US Supreme Court wouldn't approve, either. Abortion, she intones, must always be the woman's free choice.
Which demonstrates that Ellen Goodman has never stood outside a clinic and watched the sobbing young women being pushed by angry boyfriends, the teenagers shaking their heads as embarrassed mothers drag them toward the door...

To that bioethics patriarch Joseph Fletcher, nothing in the natural way of life was sacrosanct. Demonstrating that "choice" has never been the end-all of bioethics Fletcher said :"Testes and ovaries are social by nature and it would appear ethically that they should be controlled in the social interest."

I see this almost every week as I pray and counsel outside a Planned Parenthood abortuary.

Where has Ellen been for the last 30+ years? Abortion is almost never a free choice for a woman. How sad that dinosaurs like Ms. Goodman can't pull themselves out of the tar pit far enough to see this.
