There was just a news item on about the Right’s push for a new law that would not only outlaw all abortion, but also a “morning after” pill. It reinforces my perception that these people are not out to save fetuses, but are determined to remove all free will regarding sex in a kind of sick morality control-freak mindset.

And the movement’s spokeswoman was saying how there are “millions of couples” out there willing to adopt babies so why are we killing them when all these happy, well-adjusted, solvent homes are clamoring for children?

Well, if we are going to go in that direction, I would also make it mandatory that any prospective adoptive parents must first deplete the disadvantaged baby population. This means crack babies, warehoused and neglected, Down’s syndrome babies (with incentives for choosing one of these such as a tax break) and, of course, minority babies.

Healthier babies might be available through a lottery that one could participate in only after an extremely rigorous vetting process.

That would, I think, seriously daunt the “save every fetus” mentality that obsesses the Right. I don’t see them lining up to save the warehoused babies no one wants, the ones who grow up emotionally damaged from conditions that are guaranteed to ruin them for life. The Right’s position on abortion is “let’s you and them suffer immeasurably because our moral high ground is more important than anything else.”

If there were indeed a Jesus, I would think he’d send to Hell first all the morally superior humans who prize their personal agendas over humanity.
