A License to Kill
Even if one is as staunchly pro-choice philosophically as I am, one must in good faith recognize and, without dissembling, concede,
that American legal culture has, for going on fifty years now, conferred upon women, necessarily and irrevocably, a license to kill.
And kill women have!
To the tune of 50 million and still counting....
A moral catastrophe of the first order.
The genie is out of the bottle, however.
There's no turning back from here, no retracing our steps to that moral crossroads and following the road not taken.
Short of the moral rehabilitation of an entire people, there's nothing to be done to stop the killing.
The only moral redemption left to us at this point is to be open and honest with ourselves and each other about this tragic state of affairs.
But who among us has the strength of character to face the truth about ourselves?
