Abortion clinics . . . on the way out?
By Kaye Grogan

You know what? I wouldn't cry one single tear if every abortion clinic in the world was shut down. But I can tell you that I have probably cried at least 47 million tears representing each precious baby that has been killed since 1973. While abortionists and abortion clinics are getting filthy rich off of the blood of innocent babies, I wonder how many of them have ever pondered what the consequences will be for them later on down the road? Well, they could care less right now as they ride around in their Bentley or BMW, smoking fat cigars, wearing expensive designer clothes, and living in their high dollar mansions. Isn't this a heck of a way to build up Social Security retirement funds? I'll say!

Bravo to South Dakota for being the first state to branch out in an effort to stop all abortions in their state. At least this is a step in the right direction. Boy, I bet the abortion-rights groups, and the ACLU are seething. I just had a vision of them jumping up and down beating walls!

There is only one abortion clinic (which is one clinic too many) — in South Dakota operated by Planned Parenthood. And naturally with good reason they are worried about being shut down. I would love to see every abortion clinic in America have to put going out of business signs on their door. Hallelujah! ...what a day of rejoicing that will be!

I don't believe the full significance of the legislature passed by the State Senate in South Dakota has sunk in yet. This could inadvertently open the doors wide open to give the more conservative U.S. Supreme Court leeway to readdress the Roe V. Wade decision legalizing abortions in all 50 states — especially since Norma McCorvey, who was one of the key players has seen the light, and is now an opponent speaking out against abortion. See — miracles can still happen.

Of course, this doesn't alter the fact that Ms. McCorvey is still partly responsible for the biggest travesty of justice ever to hit the United States, but she can help to redeem herself (somewhat) by continuing to work vigorously to help overturn Roe V. Wade.

I don't think I have ever heard anyone in congress (who claims to be pro-life) come out and publicly reveal how much tax money is generated off of the murder of unborn babies annually, but it has to be astronomical.

Can't you just hear some of the arguments now in an effort to keep abortion legal? Of course, we've heard them all before — except of course the part about how it makes many people wealthy. You won't find a pro-abortion person discussing the monetary revenue from the human slaughter houses, you'll just hear the same old familiar sob stories. Example: "if abortion is criminalized there won't be enough prisons to hold those involved with illegal abortions. And how can you put a woman in jail for making the decision to end her pregnancy?" On . . . and on.

Let's look at some of the feeble excuses many women use to have abortions. They already have enough children. They are getting ready to go to college. It's not the right time. They are just not ready to be a parent. Their husband or boyfriend will be upset with them. A baby will crimp their lifestyle. Do any of these excuses justify murder?

Not in my book! I don't see any justification for murdering a little innocent baby. Not even to save the life of the mother. What makes her life any more valuable than the life of her child? One of my friends told me about a heart wrenching story about how when she was in labor, life-threatening complications entered the picture, and the doctor told her husband how grave the situation was. Her husband told the doctor to do everything needed to save his wife's life. Well, miraculously both mother and child pulled through. And her only child (a son) has been the apple of her eye from the moment he was laid in her arms. It would be heartbreaking to hear of any mother dying during childbirth, but isn't dying part of living?

What really makes me irate is when I hear the pro-abortion folks using the same old ridiculous worn out line: "if you are against abortion . . . why don't you take care of all of the unwanted babies?" Now that makes about as much sense as expecting all those who find drinking a menace to society — to buy up all of the alcoholic beverages, so irresponsible people won't drink and drive.

I hope people are not going to be disappointed with the newest members on the U.S. Supreme Court. We've been duped before on the assumption some of the judges were conservative when in fact, they were liberals in the truest sense of the word.

It shouldn't be too much longer before we are privileged to see which side of the abortion issue U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts, and colleague Justice Alito embrace.

But in the meantime: everybody should be responsible for their own actions. The blame game has run its course.

And that's just my opinion!
