Woman: Well, that was incredibly unpleasant. Where do I go for the abortion itself? Secretary: Sorry, hon, you have to come back tomorrow. There's a 24-hour waiting period. Woman: What? Why? Secretary: The Republican Party is hoping you get caught in a shame spiral and change your mind. Woman: A final indignity. Secretary: Not quite. Here's your bill.
Pro-lifers are accused of being narrow-minded, and now (according to Clark Kent) sadistic. But the opposite is true. The pro-abortion folks are so intolerant, they can’t even tolerate their own pre-born sons and daughters. Further, they malign the pre-born children, saying they should be killed because they are “unwanted” [a euphemism for being the target of hatred and intolerance] and could have miserable lives and grow up to be criminals. What if this were said about any other group of people—blacks, Filipinos, Poles, Latinos, women, gays: "They are unwanted, so they should be killed because they may lead miserable lives and become criminals. Wouldn’t fly, would it?
Doonesbury’s abortion-business-customer character expressed hatred toward Rick Perry, inferring that abortionists should kill any pre-born child who might grow up to be like Rick Perry.
This week, one of you Doonesbury directed a hateful comment at me saying that “unwanted” babies should be aborted “especially if they turn out like you”.
Dehumanizing is another way to express hatred and intolerance, and to rationalize oppressive behavior. Thus, the pro-aborts try to dehumanize the pre-born children. The Holocaust was rationalized by dehumanizing Jews. Slavery was rationalized by dehumanizing blacks. Have you ever seen a woman give birth to a cat, a dog or a cow? No! The fetus is human. Not canine, not feline, not bovine. Human. The fetus is alive. If the baby’s not alive, then what is being aborted. (Aborted is a synonym for interrupted, terminated or ended, even killed). An abortion terminates, ends, kills, a human life.
Sadistic? Killing an innocent human life isn’t sadistic? (Yes Palin drome, abortion is the killing of an innocent human life. You need to get over your denial.)
