Unfettered Abortion and Justice for All !

Somewhere outside the realm of my comprehension, beyond the sphere of reason, somewhere out there lie the reasons why people would come out to vote against proposition 73. I cant fathom it - but the defeat of this proposal highlights the moral decay and denial of right which has been slowly decaying our society for decades. Lets take a look at the proposal.

Proposition 73 would require minors to notify thier parents 48 hours prior to having an abortion. Not consent (which I would support), notification. This would not require a 13 year old girl to get her parents to consent to have this major medical operation, only to notify them that it is being done. Got it? Now, im not going to argue the morality of abortion here - it is among the most heinous wrongs being perpetrated in our country. Murder of the defenseless on a scale which even the Holocaust doesnt compare to. But thats point doesnt need convincing - any honest person can see its manifest truth.. However - just because something is wrong doesnt mean it should be illegal. And im not trying to say that this vote needs to be overturned, or anything of the sort. Democracy must respect the voice of the majority for Democracy to endure. But if Democracy doesnt respect a degree of what is right she will fail just as sure.

In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville visited America and wrote the following:

"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."

I believe the last sentence with all my heart, and in fact I took the title of this blog from it. America is still good, and she is still great. But the movement in our country which advocates the genocide of millions of the unborn each year, which would turn a blind eye to the opression and slaughter rampant in the world when she could do so much to relieve suffering is a corrosive acid which is eroding the fabric of our very society. If this movement has its way and this type of thinking enthroned in the majority, America will not survive the coup.

I do not believe it is the majority of Californians who feel this way, and I consider it a travesty of greatest proportions that so many of these God-fearing people did not come out to the polls. Surely Satan turned a jig in his lair when the tally came in on this one.
