Schiendler to Page: No unwanted children.....just unwanting parents

 Pro Life Action League has a good series of posts called Today in League History.  It is not only interesting but encouraging to look back, remember  events and see progress. The  post  on this particular  day remembers  pro abortion  Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page , who participated in a debate with League Director  Joe Schiendler. Page, father of a son of three weeks in June of 1989,  declared his newborn son to be "pro choice"  because he was a wanted child.  Schiendler reminds him that there are no unwanted children, just unwanting parents — but that’s not the child’s fault. Recently Page wrote about being  honored for overcoming the disability of stuttering and having  a full professional life in communications  despite that disability.  As I read about these two events, I wondered if Page's parents would have been informed  prenatally  that their son would have a speech impediment.......would they declare him unwanted and end his life prematurely. This had a special meaning to me as my late husband was a stutter but an successful, intelligent engineer.
