Across the Atlantic, they are marking the fortieth anniversary of Roe v Wade, when the Supreme Court did exactly as the supposedly sacrosanct Constitution entitles it to do and overturned the laws of all 50 states with no democratic accountability whatever.
Meanwhile, we in Britain are witnessing the row over the campaigning role of SPUC, as such, against the redefinition of legal marriage so as to include same-sex couples.

Initially, I could see the point. I have been in and around SPUC (it is fairly loose-knit) for 20 years, and this did not seem like quite what it, as SPUC, was for.
But I have been thinking, not without distaste. Unlike that legally sexless arrangement, a civil partnership, a marriage requires consummation.

Brace yourself, gentle reader, but if the orifice of male defecation is to be considered the legal equivalent of that through which a woman gives birth, then their respective products must surely be treated equivalently, too.
Every day, those products, respectively human waste and human beings, are already being treated as not merely equivalent, but for all practical purposes identical. Perhaps the present debate will focus the mind on that horrific fact?

So yes, this is very much an integral part of the pro-life cause.

So pleased you took on board my comment of a month ago when I said that the UK will soon join Spain, and France on the list of shame of those countries whose politicians believe that a man's waste disposal unit is on a par, sexually, with a woman's vagina, from which emerges new life. I also said that I am surprised that women are not deeply insulted by this.
Whereas my opinions were probably lost in the general cut and thrust of the comments, your explicit mention in your posting may attract a wider, and more influential audience, and cause one or two to reflect on their position. I certainly hope so.
This scandalous movement to equate fertile marriage with sterile anal male coupling must be stopped in its tracks.
