More Equal

Too many Americans still make distinctions between human beings, finding some (in the words of Orwell) "more equal than others." With 45 million unborn children aborted since 1973, with 400,000 frozen human embryos in limbo at fertility clinics across the United States, and with human embryos increasingly viewed as sources of raw material for medical cures for those of us who have escaped the dangers of the womb, we have a long way to go before living out the Declaration's "self-evident" truth that "all men are created equal."
