land of the free?

Abortion ends the life of ''a whole, separate, unique living human being." This year, the Legislature, which just opened its 35-day session, is being pressed by a state task force to add more mis-informed consent, more delays, more expensive barriers.

I find it ironic that legislators, who send soldiers out to ("proactively") end the ways of life of whole, separate, unique living human beings (i.e., killing foreigners in their own countries) that threaten them in some financial way, don't respect a woman's choice to end an unborn life, that threatens her in some very personal way. I suspect that star-spangled banner now waves only o'er the home of the brave, having stopped waving long ago o'er land of the free.
