I have read the blog and comments several times and in no way do I see that Cass is a sick woman or a non-Christian.

Maybe, as a LPN that I worked with would say ‘You need some serious counseling’.

Cass, sorry to leave this comment on your blog but have no way of contacting Maranda directly.

Consider that not everyone is like you, holds your opinions, and still be able to embrace differences, and I’m sure you’d be a much happier person. And oh yeah, check into that literacy program. I’m not a devout Christian woman so I don’t feel so bad bringing it up.

Have a nice day!

OTOH, if you meant to ask me about my view of black babies and abortion, go ahead and click the link. You’ll find the lady was discussing Bill Bennett’s comments, and has a valid argument, though it’s certainly NOT the argument it appears to be on the surface.

Seriously, Consider this the water cooler of blogland, guys, and go ahead. It’s really what I had in mind for my blog. There really is only so much discussing one can do about sweaters.

So your next paragraph…
Stop abortion to fix the economy? Oy, What was that that Margaret Sanger said about cattle and herds? IF abortion is ever removed as an “option” for women, will birth control be next? Ask Rick Santorum, that lunatic is in that camp, he has made such statements.
I’ll give up my birth control, over my dead body. Actually without birth control, you may actually be looking at my dead body. Having more children could actually prove fatal in my case.

I’m not a huge fan of Margaret Sanger truthfully. I’m not hellbent on abortion, I’m not a cheerleader for such a practice. I’ve said many times. I think the practice is VILE. But I’m not willing to hand over MY body, and choices about it. There is too much risk AFTER the battle over abortion for other rights to be taken away.
But there is plenty that can be done before abortion, before pregnancy, to limit and seriously reduce its practice. Working on poverty is only the first step.

More abortions can occur. More can practice birth control. Populations can decrease. That simply means that there is then a smaller workforce, smaller tax base, fewer consumers, more corporate downsizing due to fewer sales, and increased poverty.

I am for choice, too, but the choice I am for is a particular one - life.

“The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it. The same factors which create the terrible infant mortality rate, and which swell the death rate of children between the ages of one and five, operate even more extensively to lower the health rate of the surviving members.” –Margaret Sanger (1879–1966). Woman and the New Race. 1920.

Here she lists off the various races, calling them “stock” as if we are nothing more than herds of animals. She continues to list all the problems of poverty and its causes.

“…If we are to develop in America a new race with a racial soul, we must keep the birth rate within the scope of our ability to understand as well as to educate. We must not encourage reproduction beyond our capacity to assimilate our numbers so as to make the coming generation into such physically fit, mentally capable, socially alert individuals as are the ideal of a democracy…..Motherhood, when free to choose the father, free to choose the time and the number of children who shall result from the union, automatically works in wondrous ways. It refuses to bring forth weaklings; refuses to bring forth slaves; refuses to bear children who must live under the conditions described. It withholds the unfit, brings forth the fit; brings few children into homes where there is not sufficient to provide for them. Instinctively it avoids all those things which multiply racial handicaps.” –Margaret Sanger (1879–1966). Woman and the New Race. 1920.

Utopia?

But she specifically is talking about those who cite that study as “proof” that abortion is a good thing.
