Anti-abortionists should put up or shut up

The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to take up a bill next week that calls for federal funding of stem cell research. A similar measure, passed by Congress, died when the Republican-controlled House could not muster the necessary votes to override one of George Bush's rare vetoes.

Personally, we don't have a problem with anti-abortionists, even though we do not agree with their connection between stem cell research and abortion. America's a big country and has plenty of room for everyone's beliefs.

We do have a problem with with narrow-minded people who want to force their beliefs on everyone else without the courage to take personal action in support of their own causes.

Why are the anti-abortionists not standing in line ready to adopt the babies they so dearly want to protect? Why isn't there a national list of the so-called "Pro-Lifers" willing to take on the responsibility for the life for which the are so "pro."

If you are "pro-life" then be pro-life. Adopt an unwanted child. Show that you are not all talk and not action. Illustrate the courage of your convictions.

Until you do, you don't have a moral leg to stand on.
