No living organism is viable outside of its natural environment. Demanding that a baby be capable of living outside of the womb unaided is like asking you or me to live under water without air. The womb is the natural environment of the unborn child and, if left unmolested, it will be ready to enter a new one a mere nine months later.

That viability has scientific corroboration is even more ludicrous. The better our neo-natal care becomes, the more the point of “viability” moves closer to conception, which is to say the better skilled we are at saving preemies.

Another disgrace is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s aggressive promotion of abortion to other nations, especially the Third World. It’s the foulest cultural imperialism I have seen in a while. (It ranks up there with exporting pornography in my opinion.) Imagine if someone from, say, Rwanda, came here to tell us to abort our offspring. Thankfully some Canadians told her, in so many words, to shut up when she tried to push abortion there a few weeks ago. Good move Canada.

Wade was a bundle of inherent contradictions (“viability,” etc.), inevitably failing on its own merits. Much like Dred Scott or Plessy v. Ferguson.
