Webster defines "murder" as follows: "The crime of unlawfully killing a person, especially with malice afore thought. "Of course, in America we have defined abortion as lawfully killing a person . How can an act which eliminates a fellow human being - the most innocent and most vulnerable of people - be "legal?" The Supreme Court never addressed whether or not a person was the victim of the act. The court cowardly hid behind the following totally inaccurate statement: "We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer. "We know from basic biology that a human being's life begins at conception/fertilization. The U.S. Supreme Court avoided the obvious: a human being does exist and the act of abortion kills that person. This arrogant court has relegated an entire class of human beings to the trash heap by permitting the act of abortion and ignoring the overwhelming cost in human lives. Abortion is an act that kills a person. It is premeditated. It is perpetrated by the strong against the weak. It is an exhibition of callous disregard for the dignity of the human person. No law, no court, no legal system can legitimize what is clearly an act of murder. Why is this so difficult to understand? Our social conscience has been dulled by 30 years of lies, twisted rhetoric and innocuous terms. One would be hard pressed to describe a time in history where man has been more twisted in his thinking than is the case today. It is time to call things by their proper names. It is time to admit that abortion is an act of murder. A child dies, and his parents are never the same again - NEVER.
