Doug Giles: Death Becomes Them (Leftists and abortion)
Townhall.com ^ | 4/29/06 | Doug Giles

Posted on 4/30/2006, 1:18:10 AM by wagglebee

Liberals love being painted as the defender of the underdog. Yeah, if you feel like you are being abused, oppressed, preyed upon, neglected, entitled to something or endangered in any way . . . do not fear! The Dems are here! Their protection extends not only to the human small fry, but also to the translucent hair lice, the gargling nut warbler, a warming globe, a rare venereal crab, a whooping crane’s egg, Rudolph’s roughage and the need for a rain forest in Iowa.

In addition, many of those in the loopy left will raise unholy hell if hunters hunt animals. Hey, lunatic fringe liberal who prattles on about pity and provision for the poor: in 2005 alone, me and two of my heartless, conservative hunting buddies supplied over seven tons of meat (SEVEN . . . 7 . . . that’s 14,000 plus pounds) of low fat/high protein, free range, fresh flesh to the poor—both in Africa and the US. How does that stack up against your personal compassionate outreach last year? Or the last decade? Or the last century? Huh? But that’s another topic that I’ll save for another column . . . rest assured.

Yeah, the liberals will ramp up to Mach2, set their hair on fire and will fight, yell, picket, protest and blog their fingers 'til they’re bloody for animal rights and for your rights—that is, unless of course, you’re an unborn child.

It is with the unborn baby that the “protectors of the weak” morph into the party that wreaks havoc upon the truly helpless. It’s interesting to see misty-eyed liberals go quasi-talibanic for the little animal while they have absolutely no qualms whatsoever endorsing the snuffing out of the life of an unborn tiny human.

One of the reasons the barbaric left uses to convince themselves that they’re right on the issue of killing that inconvenient “little bugger” (as one of their own calls it) is that it is not yet a person. It’s “a wee little squirming blob” that’s expendable, which you can root out if you’d like.

One of the things that is really wrecking the “protectors of the weak” BS campaign of killing unborn kids is 3D and 4D ultrasound imagery (Oops. Didn’t see that coming, now did you?). These pics and videos are screwing up things for the pro-choicers. Back in the day when they were selling us on the “fetal blob stuff,” all we had at our disposal to contradict their nonsense was common sense and a very grainy 2D sonogram. With the advent of ultra slick 3D/4D images, a lot of people are being surprised to see that:

At 8 weeks, this “thing that has no rights whatsoever” (to a liberal) begins to get its groove on, moving and wiggling. Garsh, who’d a thunk it?

At 12 weeks, this “candidate for death” starts yawning (must be overhearing Hillary speak) and performing finger movements (probably also at Hillary). 3 At 20 weeks, this “tissue” starts making facial expressions, such as smiling (who knows . . . maybe it actually feels loved?).

At 24 weeks, the little mister or miss is sucking its thumb, making emotional facial expressions and can stick out its tongue when he or she hears Pelosi blather on CSPAN.

With 3D and 4D ultrasound imaging advancing daily (www.littlesproutimaging.com ), how a person can say that an unborn baby is not yet a person and can be killed at Mommy Dearest’s discretion is barbarically beyond me.

I guess the left and the pink conservatives callous their hearts to the unborn by rejecting a proposition central to Judeo-Christian thought regarding life and death: namely, that life is intrinsically good, and is therefore, sacrosanct.

Yes, these secular barbaric “tools” see human beings as tools; and if they don’t somehow fit instrumentally within the secularists’ Darwinian, utilitarian utopia, they get tagged as “inconvenient” and are relegated to the “very expendable” list. That’s why abortion is no big deal, and neither is taking the life of a so-called defective child, or suicide, or “mercy killing” a helpless senior. But God help you if you should ever run a boat’s prop over a manatee’s back! They’ll get pissed!

In contrast with the secular “elite,” the “stupid,” “non-elite” and “archaic” Judeo-Christian constituency views human life (beginning at conception and lasting until the person naturally croaks) as intrinsically good and thus, sacred—not just instrumentally good.

The Judeo-Christian community believes that all people—from the embryo to the elderly, including severely developmentally disabled, people in comas and everything in between—have dignity and value. As Robert George said, “Their significance is not based upon what they can do, or how they make us feel or whether or not we approve of their quality of life, but principally because they live.”

And not only does the Party of Death (as Ramesh Ponnuru calls the liberals in his latest book) advocate the death of the unborn and the inconvenient, but they also want your tax dollar to pay for their death wishes, for all parents to butt out of their teen age daughter’s abortion plans and for the US to continue to stay left of Europe when it comes to abortion on demand. Consider all the above, those of you on the left and the right who cherish the unborn more than a sea cow, when you cast your vote during the mid-terms and when you’re looking for a candidate for ‘08.

That is the absolute truth!

On that rare occasion when a leftist decides to mean what he says, that is when he begins to accept conservatism.

Liberals won't protest killing unborn babies, yet they hold candle-light vigils to protest the justice given to Ted Bundys of the world.

This is the single most illustrative fact I know about them - about all democrats and soft individuals.

The point I would make there is that Darwin is in our favor, safely assuming that liberal traits may be passed on to the aborted offspring of those who would have an abortion in the first place.

I really believe that abortion is one of several issues that God is using to separate the wheat from the chaff.I would hate to be on the wrong side on this,the stakes are way higher than we can imagine.

The author almost has it right. The left has no qualms about snuffing innocent life, but just try to put a serial killer/rapist to death by lethal injection.

Liberals defend the guilty, but kill the innocent.

I wish this sentence would make headlines in every major newspaper for the rest of the year!

The Right needs to understand that words do not change the reality of what the Left is. The words are propaganda.

Oh, I agree. There is the matter of simple demographics: the ones who would pass on the pro-choice beliefs and behaviors are being subject to those same beliefs and behaviors in the womb.

I was just curious to see if any particularly zealous pro-evolution poster would take issue with the word 'Darwinian' being used in such a way, as in threads past.

The wheat and chaff are separated by whether or not they are in Christ. However, it is inconceivable to me that anyone claiming to believe in God, the creator and giver of life, can hold to the idea that abortion is acceptable in defense of personal autonomy without some serious cognitive dissonance.
