Abortion is the most fundamental issue involving natural rights and individual liberty. Many people wish the issue would simply disappear, but without clear and correct answers to the questions involved, the controversy will continue, and it will be impossible to defend liberty. It’s no coincidence that today’s argument over abortion comes at a time when freedom in general is threatened in the United States, as well as in other Western countries. Nor was it accidental that genocide, abortion, and euthanasia were all practiced under Hitler, and that all three characterize totalitarian states. Abortion has become common in the U.S. only in the past 10 to 15 years, and particularly since the Supreme Court decisions of January 1973.
