37 years ago this coming Friday the U.S. Supreme Court effectively legalized abortion in all fifty states. Since that time, some 45 million Americans, the majority of them of African-American parentage, have been deprived of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Our economy has not boomed. Child abuse and neglect have not decreased. Who has suffered the most? The very people the Roe attorneys were trying to protect - the poor. A disproportionate number of the people Martin Luther King, Jr. was trying to encourage to stand up and be counted are unable to stand because they were killed before they were nine months old, before they had a chance to draw a breath in this country.
