...Alliance, along with the original author, Human Life Alliance of the Minnesota Education Fund Inc., sees the question of the legality of abortion in the starkest of terms. It writes, "'the only choice' in abortion is between a dead baby or a live baby." Abortion is deemed an absolute moral wrong because it involves the murder of an unborn child. If this claim is true, if abortion is murder, then it should be illegal under current American law, the brochure states.

For Jeffrey Vanke, White Southerners need offer no obligatory evidence (moral and behavioral evidence) that today's White South is worthy of a major Christian forgiveness thrust toward it by Harvard University and by African-Americans. Why? Jeffrey Vanke's reasoning is banal--namely, because the institutionalizing perpetrators of slavocracy and White supremacy are dead. So withholding Christian forgiveness is foul and unfair. For Jeffrey Vanke, it should be as readily forthcoming as the opening...
