Do You Know the Way to the Moral High Ground?
On January 22, the retired leaders of two abortion industry organizations offered strategic advice to pro-choice forces in the op-ed pages of the Los Angeles Times on how to "regain the moral high ground."
Frances Kissling, former president of Catholics for a Free Choice, and Kate Michelman, former NARAL head, scan the 40-year "war" between "choice" and "life," identifying the tactical mistakes of the movement they helped lead. The candor is refreshing, but they rehash discredited abortion myths and remain oblivious to why the pro-choice side can never prevail, much less capture "the moral high ground."
Choice can never defeat life. Killing one's children to indulge in a commitment-free lifestyle, or for financial reasons, or career advancement, or other pretexts, is too heavy a price for parents to bear.
"Choice" is fundamentally opposed to human nature and dignity. It is a betrayal of one's child and one's humanity, as grieving mothers and fathers have discovered. Thankfully, healing and peace are possible after abortion. Project Rachel and similar ministries help thousands annually.
Let's take a look at the myths Mses. Kissling and Michelman continue to spin.
Mythperception 1: "The United States has some of the most restrictive policies on abortion in the developed world. In contrast to Europe the Supreme Court has upheld state laws that require parental consent or notification, mandatory waiting periods and antiabortion counseling."
The facts: European abortion laws are typically far more restrictive than U.S. laws. Only Canada (with no federal law) and a few communist states have abortion laws more permissive than our own.
