COLLEGE MALES PLAY “KILL THE BABY”
Bill Donohue comments on what happened in the cafeteria at Hunter College in New York City Wednesday evening:
Some young men at Hunter decided to play
a game mocking abortion. So they stuffed balloons under their shirts,
pretending to be pregnant, and then used plastic forks and knives on
each other to pop the balloons. Students yelled, “Kill that baby! Kill
it!”
At least these men were honest: pregnant
women are not carrying blobs of cells—they are carrying a human being.
Notice that the guys didn’t scream “Kill that fetus.” Indeed, “Kill that
baby” makes so much more sense. Which is why it just rolled off their
lips.
This month marks the 50th anniversary of Betty Friedan’s book, The Feminine Mystique,
the work that launched the feminist movement in our time; one of the
byproducts of that movement was the legalization of abortion.
Interestingly, we know from every survey ever conducted on abortion
rights that there is no segment of the population that is more
enthusiastic about a woman’s “right to choose” than young men. This, of
course, is not what Friedan intended.
Had feminists thought about this subject
more clearly, they would have realized that legalizing abortion would
be a boon to millions of selfish, exploitative young men. Just like the
ones who acted out at Hunter.
