…he drinks of coffee’s frothy goodness.
…and devoted it to improving the lives of children who have been born into lives of poverty, violence, and neglect, they could make a world shine.
Let me dispel a myth here. Women (the overwhelming majority) who get an abortion do not do so lightly. Nor do they regard abortion as contraception.
Sometimes, it is just not viable to continue the pregnancy to the stage where there is a viable human being.
And sometimes, those seeking abortions are the loudest pro-lifers.
Because life is often complex and difficult and involves choices that grieve us, that we wish could be made differently.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
I have never had to conn a ship. I believe I could set a bone or butcher a hog, but I wouldn’t enjoy it. Not the point though. The rest I have participated in to some degree, or done thoroughly. So, is this point of view valid? I happen to think so.
Oh, while we are on Heinlein :
“The loss of manners is the first sign of the decay of a society. People lose their manners and then they start voting for cake and circuses (modern welfare and other social programs that put a band aid on a problem instead of fixing it). One of the early sign of the loss of manners is how clean public rest rooms are.”
