NOW and Connor Peterson's life

Susan Wills, associate director for education with the US Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities, issued this statement five days ago with regard to the stubborn consistency of NOW and other pro-abortion groups who object to granting the status of "wanted, loved, living human being" to Laci Peterson's son, Connor, whose body washed ashore a couple of weeks ago. These groups vehemently object to charging Scott Peterson with double homicide because it might give "ammunition" to the pro-life cause (not because of "justice").

In the statement, Wills states that, those who work for the abortion industry react differently to such events. Human feelings are kept in check, while any event or policy that concerns a child before or near birth is minutely scrutinized for its potential to "undermine Roe v. Wade." Anything that threatens the shaky "constitutionality" of Roe must be stopped!

Better to pretend Connor's death was a non-event, reasoned the New Jersey chapter president of NOW who reacted indignantly to the double-murder charge: "If this is murder," she said, "well, then any time a late-term fetus is aborted, they could call it murder."

...

Today, their policy is becoming more philosophically consistent, but it's careening ever further from reality, justice and truth. Today the "wanted" child needing protection, assistance and healthcare is dismissed as a nonentity as well. Is there no bottom to Roe's slippery slope?

It doesn't matter that Laci and her family wanted and loved Connor and treated him as though he was a living child as they eagerly awaited his birth. Is this really respectful to Laci? Is this really what being "pro-woman" means to NOW?
