"The
Democratic party's new defense of abortion on grounds of morality
than necessity," NRO's
John Craddock argues, "is eerily reminiscent of the
transformation in Southern views on slavery between the late 18th and
early 19th centuries...
Slavery could flourish only so long as blacks
were considered outside the moral community of persons. Abortion
rejects the natural right to life in the same way."
"Declaring
some members of the human species, by virtue of their age or degree
of dependency, unworthy of the equal dignity and rights recognized in
the proposition that 'all men are Created equal' goes beyond the
original sin of the American founding.
It goes beyond 'choice' and
arguments about necessary evils. Instead, it follows a path trodden
by southern slaveholders who rejected even the principle of equality
and natural rights.
Like the Civil War Democrats who sought to become
second founders by rejecting the American commitment to natural
rights for all persons,
today's Democrats make vice their principle,
and demand that all join in the celebration. History doesn't repeat
itself, but it certainly does rhyme."
