  1. Who will write the eulogy for those innocent unborn victims? Over 54 million since Roe vs Wade. What kind of country destroys it’s future generation, and praises the perpetrator?

    1. You seem to fail to realize how many more lives would have been destroyed if that ‘future generation’ had been born. Why do you think women get abortions? Put yourself in their shoes for a minute.

      Women don’t just get abortions for the hell of it, and I don’t know a single woman who would get an abortion if she didn’t feel she had to. They do it for their health, both mental and physical, and even for that potential child. They do it because of the circumstances they are in at the time. There are so many factors that are involved, and what this hero did was fight for the right for women to be able to live their life and have a voice when it came to their health and body. Those are very basic rights. If men could have children, abortion would have been legal from the start and this never would have been an issue.

      Do you know the truth of what would happen to most of those ‘innocent unborn victims’ if they were born? Everyone who professed to care about them when they were a fetus would cease to care about them as soon as they were born. In fact, the very same people would eventually call that ‘future generation’ takers and moochers of the system.

      Everyone is anti-abortion until it’s about them and their life and needs. Then, all of a sudden they are okay with it.

      Please do not blemish this man’s heroic life and eulogy with the kind of thinking he fought against his whole life.

      I find your comment placement eerily similar to the Westboro Babtist Church holding protests at military funerals.
