Response to Comments made elsewhere....

WriteWingBlog had a visitor in her comments section that I would like to bring here, but instead, will just point you there. The author whose comment I responded to would likely not give permission to print her comment here.

So, that said... please read Dawn's post, and the comments in the blogger box .

Sadly, both Roe and Doe are based on LIES to begin with! Neither woman ever had an abortion, and "DOE" never wanted one!

Norma McCorvey and Sandra Cano both pray that Roe and Doe are overturned.

Dr Bernard Nathanson has told the story of the beginnings of NARAL many times, including the lies that were told by those founding it, (including vilifying the Catholic Church, and suppressing information that life begins at conception, which is found at the hyperlink) :

We persuaded the media that the cause of permissive abortion was a liberal enlightened, sophisticated one. Knowing that if a true poll were taken, we would be soundly defeated, we simply fabricated the results of fictional polls. We announced to the media that we had taken polls and that 60% of Americans were in favour of permissive abortion. This is the tactic of the self-fulfilling lie. Few people care to be in the minority. We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the U.S. The actual figure was approaching 100,000 but the figure we gave to the media repeatedly was 1,000,000. Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200-250 annually. The figure we constantly fed to the media was 10,000. These false figures took root in the consciousness of Americans convincing many that we needed to crack the abortion law.
Another myth we fed to the public through the media was that legalising abortion would only mean that the abortions taking place illegally would then be done legally. In fact, of course, abortion is now being used as a primary method of birth control in the U.S. and the annual number of abortions has increased by 1500% since legalisation.
