The height of narcissistic self-righteousness...

One of the fine folks that works in my building has a rather self-aggrandizing bumper sticker on his car:

Don't abort, I'll adopt

Really?

You, the owner of beat-up 2000 Saturn now has a moral opposition to the practice of abortion and enough financial means to raise the thousands of babies who are aborted each year in the United States?

This kind of slogan shows a nearly ostrich-like lack of critical thinking toward one of the tougher moral decisions that any human being can make.

The issue of abortion is far too complex for either side to boil down its message to a pithy bumper sticker slogan.

The seems roughly equivalent to responding to our crushing national debt with a bumper sticker like this:

National debt? Throw it on my credit card. No biggie.

Get over yourself...

P.S. Forgive me here, but I still get uncomfortable whenever a man touts his opposition to the practice of abortion. You'll never be in that position, so what the hell is your opinion really worth on the topic?
