Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco just signed legislation penalizing doctors who perform partial-birth abortions (except to save the life of the mother), making the state the first to restrict the surgery since the Supreme Court upheld a similar federal ban earlier this year.
As I read the news, I heard voices in my head – the same hysterical, ultra-feminist voices that howled as the Supreme Court upheld the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. And as I heard these voices again today, one thought lodged in my mind: It seems as though ultra-fems believe that the process of pregnancy and birth should be a seamless, convenient one, and that they have the right to do anything to avoid the least little inconvenience, even at the expense of the child’s life. Which makes me wonder: What will it take to get ultra-fems to see that the avoidance of all difficulty is an impossible, impractical and immoral approach to life, particularly as it relates to the issue of life itself?
