Life of the mother

Another state, Idaho, is ready to sacrifice women's lives for the "unborn". I'm not surprused, because I have spent over a decade visiting online Catholic sites, reading their articles, communicating with their visitors.

Most of those sites tried to soft pedal the ulltimate goal. They would call women the "second victim of abortion" and advocte helping the poor dears escape the clutches of those evil "abortionists". This was all disingenuous.

But the commenting visitors to these sites would let it all hang out. They were for a total ban on abortion, no exeptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother, and they were for criminalizing women, and terrorizing doctors and clinics. At least they were honest.

Now they're all happy. They think they have won. They seem to believe this will last. That is just nuts. No society would allow a minority group of religious extemmists to drag them backwards 50 years without challenge. Women and those men who care about them will not let this stand.
