Black a Hypocrite: Standiford Knows the Truth

Louis Black has a lot of hypocritical gall to accuse anyone of setting up a straw man in his longwinded defense of abortion ["Page Two," Dec. 5]. Then Black plays the "Judgmental Card." Agreeing with the Bible is no more judgmental than disagreeing with it, so spare us your manipulative spin, Black. No Christian is "equating themselves with the Almighty." Neither do they "pass judgment on others rather than examine their own lives," as if "judgment" and "self-examine" is an either/or issue. Blacks off-hand dismissal of the pro-life agenda and tactics make it clear he just doesn't get it. Abortion is murder to the pro-lifers, not a "woman's right to choose" issue, and they don't give a damn about what "rights" you think have been or will be violated. Murderers must be stopped at all costs even if it means killing them. I'm not sure I agree, but I'm not sure I disagree either. But the end of Black's "Page Two" screed needs some rational insight. As a man, Mr. Black, you have no rights or options when it comes to abortion. Your rights end when you decide who (or what) you will have sex with. If you knock up some little office tart you'll be paying through the nose for at least the next 18 years for the mother's "right to choose." It might be "her body" for a short nine months, but it's your ass from that time forward. Just a thought.
