ABORTION QUEEN: Hey, Pro-Lifers, Help Us Out!

National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) head Nancy Keenan has written a letter to pro-lifers asking for their help (WARNING! Evil file format! [.pdf]).

Wellllllll now. . . . Isn’t that "special."

Let’s see what she has to say:

A MESSAGE TO THE
RIGHT-TO-LIFE MOVEMENT FROM
NARAL PRO-CHOICE AMERICA

PLEASE, HELP US PREVENT ABORTIONS

Hm. Help NARAL prevent abortions? They’ve seen the light and are joining our side? They’re changing their name to NURAL (National Unborn Rights Action League)? Doesn’t sound plausible. The credibility quotient of professional babykillers is low. Must be on lookout for incompetent attempts at deception.

For years, your groups and ours have waged one of the country’s most divisive political wars over a woman’s right to choose to kill her own offspring.

True.

We believe passionately that women have the right to decide for themselves when to bring children into the world kill their own children [sorry, the kids are already "in the world" as soon as they’re conceived] – without government interference. You disagree – passionately and sincerely.

Darn tootin’!

We will never resolve our differences on this basic question.

If by "we" you mean most individuals who are alive in the pro-abort movement right now and most individual pro-lifers, you are correct. Though some individuals may convert from one side to the other, most of the most committed members of both sides will remain where they are. On the other hand, if you mean our movements will always be locked in this struggle, no. Pro-lifers reproduce themselves while pro-aborts do not. Eventually, your movement will wither for demographic reasons (a phenomenon dubbed "the Roe effect"), leaving the pro-life movement free to protect unborn children again. The only question is how long it will take to stop the abortion holocaust you have initiated and how many millions of children will be murdered in the meantime.

But we should agree on an equally fundamental point: America would be a better country if no woman ever faced the difficult choices posed by an unintended pregnancy.

Yeah, and it would be a better country if there was no such thing as cancer, heart disease, obesity, or AIDS and in which nobody had to work for a living and nobody ever disagreed with anybody or had to do anything they didn’t want to do and we all had superpowers.

Furthermore, what’s all this dissing of "unintended pregnancies." Used to be a lot of folks would be excited when they got pregnant even though they weren’t intending to do so this month. Babies were looked forward to as positive things and as gifts from God. Some folks still take such attitudes, despite your propaganda campaign to equate "unintended pregnances" with unwanted babies.

What better way to end the debate (as if ending debate were an end in itself) over abortion rights than by eliminating the reasons women seek abortion?

You mean you want to change the facts that abortions are permitted by law and people have been propagandized to regard them as morally licit and to regard babies as an unwanted burden rather than as a positive contribution to humanity? Heck, yeah! I’m all up for changing those facts!

The time has come to join together in a new campaign to reduce the number of abortions.

DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!!! IMPENDING INCOMPETENT DECEPTION ATTEMPT!!!

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid – who slightly disagrees with us only so he can protect his Mormon base on the issue of abortion – has offered a commonsensedeceptive bill deceptively called the Prevention First Act which would help reduce unintended pregnancies unwanted babies through better access to often-abortifacient birth controlcontraception. This landmark legislation represents a serious first step in addressing the problemlaughably transparent attempt to score political points with the public by appearing to claim the moral high ground while advancing our anti-baby agenda through other means that actually will increase the number of abortions occurring early in pregnancy, and I hope you–the pro-baby patsy of this evil scheme–wi’ll join pro-choiceabortion Americans and me, the Abortion Queen, in foolishly offering your support.

Let’s work together to pass this bill, and <completely insincere offer>make it the first step in a dialogue</completely insincere offer> about preventing unintended pregnanciesunwanted babies.

I eagerly await your answer despite the fact I didn’t include my address, phone number, or e-mail on this letter.

Nancy Keenan
President
NARAL Pro-Choice America
