I invite everyone to watch the video below and then write Chris Matthews at hardball@msnbc.com concerning his horrid treatment of Bp. Tobin of Rhode Island. In viewing the video one can just envision a Pharisee or the Sanhedrin judges berating Christ. Matthews has increasingly invited folks he disagrees with on to his television show Hardball only to viscerally attack them by framing the debate in a different manner than the initial discussion, and then harassing them to answer gotcha type questions. That’s not “hardball” that’s just stupid. To his credit Bp. Tobin handled himself graciously while being screamed at by the blowhard Matthews, but did little to provide a good argument on the topic of abortion. Bp. Tobin needs to properly respond to Matthews attack in his own column “Without Doubt“ which will give him the opportunity to fully answer the host’s questions logically and without interruption.
Matthews wanted to know what the penalty should be for a woman who obtains an abortion, if abortion were illegal. Do you charge them with murder, Matthews whines. I guess my thought is why wouldn’t you? If you are purposely destroying innocent human life, and abortion was illegal, why wouldn’t you charge those involved with murder? The reason people have pause in answering the question with the obvious answer is because they wonder if the obvious answer judges those who have had abortions over the past 40 years and the answer to that question is a resounding no!
Prior to Roe v. Wade the vast majority of our society chose life whether it be their own choice or because of the law. In either case the previous generations choose life. Those having abortions over the last 40 years had them because US law said it was “legal”. In my opinion had abortion remained illegal 99% of abortions in the past 40 years would have never happened. No one is here to cast the first stone in charging those who obtained “legal” abortions with murder, that notion is ludicrous. But I am here to argue that we once again make abortion illegal in order to save innocent human life. This is what the law did previously and would do again.
For more than 40 years now our society has encouraged men and women to kill their offspring when they become pregnant in less than ideal situations. Pregnancy and children have become a supposed inconvenience and a threat to our personal selfishness. We’ve brainwashed ourselves into thinking a fetus is just a glob of cells, when sound science stares us straight in the face showing us that the miracle of life begins at the moment of conception.
