It isn't often that I get an e-mail from a reader. But here is one I got from Jon that I'm sure everyone will like...Jon says -

"I’ve got the answer! I’ve got the solution that will, once and forever end the circular abortion debate that sadly, has been going around-and-around in this country for decades.

Look…the anti-aborting camp has fundamentally this position:

Abortion is bad, because God…Speaking through the voice of religious teaching, (Because no one; at least no one that I know of, has heard God speak. And we don’t even know that, if he can speak, can he speak English well enough to get his point across) …Abortion is bad because Gods says so.

The pro-aborting position is essentially:

Abortion is good, well…because I want one.

Okay, now we’ve got the conflict defined. We can come up with a solution. And this being America, the only lasting and unassailable solution to any problem, has to be religious in nature. So, we are going to have to find a spiritual solution. And I’ve got it….

The Church of the Most Sacred and Holy Blood of the Aborted Lamb! The C.M.S.H.B.A.L., in which abortion not only is accepted, but it is encouraged. And in some cases, at least for the church hierarchy…Mandatory.

You say you want an abortion there sweetheart? Well first, you’ve got to be baptized into to the Church of the Most Sacred and Holy…well you know the rest. And then, you can have all the abortions you want and no one will ever try to block your way into the clinic or super-glue-in-the-door-locks keep you out or even shoot your good, university trained, Board Certified doctor.

Your abortion will be sacramental…An engagement of your fundamental, Constitutionally protected rights to do just about any damn thing you please on purely religious grounds. Now, you pro-aborters have a religious argument. You’re good….On even ground with the God-is-Awesome, Biblically inspired and supported anti-aborters. You can even ask your doctor for an abortion in Topeka, Kansas or Colorado Springs, Colorado for that matter…And get one, all the while preserving our long tradition of religious freedom. There you go honey.

Debate over.
