8. I am by NO MEANS a Gannon-supporter...
...and I do agree that he's completely without legitimacy as a journalist...
Commentator, however?--maybe not so bad...
I think his question is a really good one to ask; how many raving pro-lifers WOULD choose such a course rather than bear the 'burden' (note quotations) of having to try to love a child they REVILE?
It goes directly to the question of just WHICH of these two choices would the average pro-lifer choose; it's really an interesting intellectual conundrum...
Most, I think, would probably find a happy workaround by saying something like, "All life is SACRED!--so I would simply start reading the Bibble to my child while still in utero, especially the Old Testament and Leviticus and the like.. and would be sure to harangue and harass it over its obviously SICK lifestyle choice from the moment it hit open air!... because I want to have my cake and eat it too, and MY child will be a cake-eater just like me; no kid of mine is going to be one of those nasty pie-eating monstrosities! I would raise my kid to be straight, even if it killed them!... and then let almighty all-merciful GOD toss the little bugger to the demons if it STILL wouldn't straighten up and fly right!"
d
ps: I'm a clown, and always jokin'... but I'm not kiddin' here... it's a damn good question...
And I'm not at all surprised we DUers all seeem to be falling on the correct side of this poll question; we are, after all, the best and the brightest!
