Lots of folks blogged Thursday and Friday of last week about the SCOTUS decision to uphold a ban on partial birth abortions. I read some of those posts Friday, while waiting for call-backs on yet another food-borne outbreak.
I have nothing to add to those psts; there's enough out there describing this procedure, which only arose from haste and laziness, and which has no place in a civilized society or humane medical practice. It is not "choice"...it is barbarism.
I had this issue floating in the back of my head Friday night as we sat in the audience for the school musical: Seussical, Jr. (based on Seussical, the Musical.)
All the while that Little Jojo (a Who from Who-ville) was being encouraged to be an independent thinker...
If you open your mind,...we in the audience are being reminded over and over again by Horton the elephant that:
Oh, the Thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose!
Oh, the Thinks you can think!
Oh, the Thinks you can think
When you think about Seuss!!
A person's a person, no matter how small.Think for yourself AND defend the powerless. Some would find that contradictory; I find it wonderfully subversive and counter cultural. Stand up for what is right, even if you are called:
The biggest blame fool in the jungle of Nool.Sounds like the recipe for creating more saints in our time.
