BY LifeSiteNews.com TORONTO, January 28, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Mark Steyn, the star columnist of the Hollinger media chain and an internationally acclaimed writer, has proclaimed himself 100% against abortion.  Writing for Canada’s National Post yesterday, Steyn devoted his column to the thirtieth anniversary of the infamous U.S. Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision. Steyn wrote, “There are those of us who are opposed to all abortion—I’m one, at heart—and those who are hot for a woman’s right to kill full-term healthy partially delivered babies.”  With his cutting witt, Steyn who also writes for the Sun Times of Chicago, UK Telegraph and the Spectator magazine, among others, says, “Right now, the only significant demographic moving toward Roe v. Wade absolutism are the ever swelling numbers of Democratic Presidential candidates.”“For what it’s worth, I don’t accept “a woman’s right to choose.” Given that humanity’s only current widely available method of reproduction involves access to a woman’s womb, society as a whole has a stake in this question… God’s first injunction to humanity couldn’t have been plainer: Go forth and multiply…. A society whose political class elevates “a woman’s right to choose” above “go forth and multiply” is a society with a death wish. So today we’re the endangered species, not the spotted owl. We’re the dwindling resource, not the oil.” Steyn concludes his piece “Next time you’re in a rundown diner and the 17-year-old waitress is eight months pregnant, don’t tut ‘What a tragedy’ and point her to the nearest Planned Parenthood clinic. Leave her a large tip instead. She’s doing the right thing, not just for her, but for all of us.”  See the full column in the National Post at:  http://www.nationalpost.com/home/story.html?id={D3C7285E-61F1-4B4F-A364-DD8D09FBAB92} http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/one-of-canadas-foremost-columnists-calls-himself-100-against-abortion/
