As we mourn the dead and pray for the recovery of those injured in the latest attacks on women's clinics, we confront the reality that terrorism has been allowed to grow unchallenged.
Anti-choicers could help solve many of society's problems if they would stop their terrorism and make a commitment to change lives. This could easily be accomplished.
Each anti-choice family that makes a commitment will be assigned a pregnant woman. There will be no discrimination as to race, religion, national origin, etc. Each family committed to the anti-choice philosophy will take responsibility for the child(ren) of their assigned woman until the child is 18 years old.
This will solve other problems as well. Our welfare rolls will shrink as ADC mothers are absorbed into these family units. Pregnant women living on the streets will have a family to care for them and raise their children. Pregnant prostitutes and drug addicts will have homes and families.
The possibilities are endless. We would like to see each anti-choice family make this decision. If not, they could at least obey the Supreme Court ruling regarding RICO (N.O.W. vs. Sheidler), and the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE) - stop murdering, blowing up buildings, demonstrating trashy signs and harassing innocent women.
