But you kill that thing that's in the womb, Would not want no baby boom. It is interesting that there appears to be a sense of orthodoxy in any political movement. Thus it is indeed the very same people that push for abortion on demand (and up until birth) who also push for animal rights, and such like. But we should not let our enemies define our own worldview. We can come to our own conclusions on these issues. Indeed we must. If I were in a political movement with which I found myself in perfect agreement, then I would have to reluctantly conclude that it is likely that I would be holding views *because* they are orthodox in that community. It is moy observation that the best politicians in a party are very often those least likely to toe the party line! As Steve Taylor had it:

You save the whales,
You save the seals,
You save whatever’s cute and squeals.
But you kill that thing that’s in the womb,
Would not want no baby boom.

Somebody called it "culture of death", and though this person was one of the most famous Roman Catholics, I cannot agree more. Strange that You posted on this subject, because it was also on my mind today when I posted <a href="http://sveana.blogspot.com/2006/12/is-it-or-is-it-not-human.html">this article</a> on a very simolar topic, though no animals involved.

I cannot understand it. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." These people have no fear of the Lord. That scares me let me tell you! Mrs. Meg Logan It just blows my mind.
