Letter #42

Howdy friends and neighbors. Here’s version #42 of the infamous Friday Letter. Please try to sit up and respond.

Government Warning

On every bottle or can which contains an alcoholic beverage, you’ll see a warning. The label on the Coors bottle in front of me says, “Government warning: (1.) According to the Surgeon General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects.”

Isn’t that special. It seems to mean the Government cares about your unborn child. It doesn’t say “don’t drink after the first trimester.” It simply says don’t drink if you’re pregnant. Even if you’ve only been pregnant a half an hour.

However, if you, as a pregnant woman, “choose” to have your baby “terminated,” the government won’t stand in your way. In fact, your government encourages you to do that – after all, it was the Supreme Court, an arm of the federal government, that ruled it is legally appropriate to terminate babies.

Gosh. When it comes to drinking beer, you don’t have a choice. But hey. If you disobey the government warning and drink beer anyway, at least you can legally murder the little parasite, especially if you caused it to have birth defects. You have that Choice.

Are you Pro Choice? Has a good ring to it, doesn’t it? Ah, freedom of choice. I am woman hear me roar. Liberated American women are Pro Choice. They’re vegetarians, too. “I CHOOSE not to eat animal flesh.”

Lesbianism, abortion, vegetarianism, Democrat-ism – they’re all fashionable because they sound like Democracy, they offer ballot-like “lifestyle choices.” Women have a Choice, they can choose, if for no other reason, just to be fashionable. Plays right into the Planned Parenthood agenda.

Parasites. That’s what Planned Parenthood calls the unborn. They can call infants parasites if they want to – after all, they’re the industry leader in end-of-pregnancy management. Now isn’t that special.

Mike’s perspective

Here’s what our friend Mike Holt writes on the subject:

I'm against abortion. However I am also against the government outlawing it. Mainly because it would give the police another reason to look up every woman’s skirt.

I also feel it is wrong to bring another AIDS-infected baby, or one who will spend its short life in pain or unaware of anything, into this world.

To many people today, babies are a form of welfare. I often wonder if AIDS and sickle-cell anemia aren't methods of controlling the minority and/or gay populations.

I was told eight years ago by a white doctor from Africa that 100 percent of African blacks had AIDS. I read an article a month or so ago that said 90 percent of American black males and 60% of black women have AIDS. Why the disparity? Why isn't this published in the news so white girls will stop having sex with blacks?

There is something very wrong with the morality of our country. No country has ever survived long that accepts homosexuality as a way of life.

Grampa’s opinion

A farmer brought an old milk cow to my Grampa Hodge for slaughter. The farmer explained the cow was no longer giving milk, so at least she could become meat.

When Grampa got Old Bessie up on the doubletree and zipped her open, out came a calf, a female, still in the placenta.

Grampa stopped his work, went outside and took two or three healthy swigs from the bottle of Italian Swiss Colony White Port. Cursing came between swigs. Lots of cursing. Lots of swigs.

Grampa eventually went back inside the slaughterhouse, zipped open the placenta, and butchered the calf as well. If the calf can’t grow up to give milk, might as well have the meat.

My Grampa. A butcher. A rough, hard-drinking, abrasive and profane old coot. He didn’t like surprises. That dairy farmer had brought him a nasty surprise. The bastard. That’s what Grampa thought about abortion, too.

The Advocate writes
Here’s an excerpt from the Los Angeles Advocate, a student newspaper at the University of California at Los Angeles. (Look it up yourself at http://www.laadvocate.com/Advocate3.pdf )

Planned Parenthood has not really left eugenics behind. They deny it, but consid­er their deeds. In a 1921 article, Margaret Sanger called eugenics “the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.”

As if marching to her tune, PP is solving those unfitting racial and social problems daily: 79 percent of Planned Par­enthood clinics are placed in minority neighborhoods (black and Hispanic). The Center for Disease Control’s “Abortion Surveillance” report says blacks receive 35 percent of all abortions in the United States, though they comprise less than 13 percent of the population.

Perhaps most damning is that almost half of all black pregnancies are aborted, and PP has cornered that market.

In an editorial, “The Advocate” wrote, “We believe in the right to life for all human beings—from the youngest to the oldest, from conception until natural death. We hope to create a world where every life is protected both by individual choice and by law.”

THE ADVOCATE is a student magazine run by Live Action. Live Action is a student organi­zation dedicated to educating the UCLA community about the right to life for all human beings.

This week’s words: Prone/supine. Prone is from the Latin, “Pronus,” meaning “before.” Today, it means lying face down or prostrate in a horizontal position. Supine is Latin also, from “Supinus,” or lying on the back, face upward. So whether you are resting or simply unconscious, you are probably either prone or supine.

Next week’s words: Reticent/Recalcitrant
