After all, it\u2019s tough to embrace the old Phil Donahue line, vaguely applied, about a fetus being nothing other than a ball of sludge the size of a peanut. \u00a0Instead, we\u2019re having folks have to keep up with the times<\/a>\u00a0by saying \u2018yes, it\u2019s a viable,\u00a0beautiful\u00a0 living baby \u2013 and I\u2019d gladly abort the hell out of it for money and orgasms, who cares if it\u2019s a baby!\u2019* \u00a0Still, a growing number of young people are getting the heebie-geebies about such rhetoric, and for now, the images and good old common sense seem to be making headway.<\/p>\n

FWIW, the more I think of Williams\u2019 article, the more I\u2019m reminded of this other bit of stellar morality from the Bard\u2019s pen:<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s for the more noble purpose of keeping an oath, not maintaining a life of hedonism and narcissism. \u00a0What is it about our post-modern era that takes the horrors of human history that warped even the most noble ideas and repackages them for our own petty and selfish desires?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
