random thought of the moment:

The state — or, to make matters more concrete, the government — consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can’t get, and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time it is made good by looting ‘A’ to satisfy ‘B’. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advanced auction on stolen goods. — H.L. Mencken, On Politics [1996]

This is an angle against late term abortion that I hadn't heard of. I wonder how many people assume abortion is always painless for the child.

FRC Endorses 'Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act'

"WASHINGTON, May 20 /PRNewswire/ — Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins released the following statement in support of Sen. Sam Brownback's (R-KS) 'Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act' legislation:"

"We cannot deny the medical evidence now before us. From testimony taken during the recent partial-birth abortion hearings and advancements in the field of in utero technology, science is telling us unborn children as young as 20 weeks old can feel pain. The evidence we have is clear, and we should not keep that evidence from women."
