Keep Your Laws Off My Body


Dale Carrico


Amor Mundi

March 10, 2006

I first heard the slogan, “Keep your laws off my body!” as an activist well over a decade ago, when I was still in my 20s. But I cannot remember if it was in a rally decrying the sodomy laws that were still on the books in Georgia, where I lived at the time, or in a march to defend a woman’s “right to choose” against conservative legal assaults.

Just so you know - there is a place in Portland Oregon that performs partial birth abortion - the Lovejoy Clinic. I'm serious about the name and I know of someone that had one.

All actions have consequences. Choice does not include harm or death to others, even under the guise of 'freedom'. It's an ethical ideal designed to keep our inner 'killer ape' at bay, and our human dignity in tact.

"Dignity, it seems to me, demands freedom above all - but not at the expense of helpless others."

Department of Rhetoric. Tenure, much?
