MSNBC's Grotesque Partial-Birth Analogy: Issues 'Sucked Life' Out of GOP

When Republican strategist Michelle Laxalt tried to describe the clinical reality of partial-birth abortion on MSNBC this morning at about 10:55 AM EDT, MSNBC host Chris Jansing [file photo] cut her off, saying she didn't want to get into an "emotional debate." By all means. Let's not confuse people with the facts. Better to focus on the antiseptic "right to choose" without letting the gruesome reality of the matter intrude.

In partial birth birth abortion, the near-term baby's skull is collapsed and its brains are sucked out. Immediately after stopping Laxalt just as she was about to state that, Jansing herself said that the GOP might welcome the debate on the partial birth abortion issue "after Iraq and some of the other things that have gone on at the White House that have sort of sucked the life out of the Republican party."

Could Jansing possibly have been in much worse taste?

MSNBC-grotesque-partial-birth-analogy ping to Today show list.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I’d be grateful if people could ping this item to pro-life lists.

[Bob Loblaw]

Let me get this straight.

The same network that aired the from-the-grave rant of a mass murderer refused to allow a description of partial birth abortion?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Yeah; too “emotional.”

[TommyDale]

Is she a Rudy supporter?

[Txsleuth]

MSNBC is getting worse and worse..

[theBuckwheat]

Sometimes libs slip up and say what is really on their minds.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I think that’s exactly what happened.

[Melinda]

Many people who don’t want to hear the heart-wrenching truth have either had one themselves or are close to someone who has. They become defensive and cold when it is brought up.

American Views on Abortion

Anyone supporting PBA and late-term abortions is well outside the mainstream. This includes Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg.

“Many people who don’t want to hear the heart-wrenching truth have either had one themselves or are close to someone who has. They become defensive and cold when it is brought up.”

You think Jansing might have had a partial-birth abortion?

[TheRiverNile]

“Anyone supporting PBA and late-term abortions is well outside the mainstream. This includes Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg.”

And Rudy Guliuni

Hillary: Court Ruling Stabs Women in Back of Head

Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling in Gonzales v. Carhart upholding the right of Congress and state legislatures to regulate abortion and, in particular, to ban partial-birth abortion, is “a blade to the back of the head of every woman in American,” according to Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.

“I know I speak for my sisters across the nation,” said Sen. Clinton, “when I say that I feel like someone grabbed me by the ankles, and jammed a pair of scissors into the base of my skull and then just sucked my brains out. This is devastating to our freedoms and our sense who we are as the largest minority group in America.”

Mrs. Clinton derided the justices who comprised the majority in the 5-4 ruling as “a gang of callous right-wingers who slaughtered the civil rights of women just as we are about to experience a new birth of freedom with the election of the first female president.”

“All that potential, all that hope is now tossed down the garbage chute,” she said, “and all because five selfish judges decided that their so-called ‘right to choose’ supersedes the life of the women’s movement. It’s despicable.”

They ( MSM/MSNBC/CBS/NBC/ABC ) were already bad, they are just showing their true colors.

Sorry ladies, but rather “stab you in the back of the head” than a baby.

"Let me get this straight.

I agree with you 100%. MSNBC = Most evil corporate entity in the world.

To Save Woman's Life 88 10 To Save Woman's Health 82 14

For five thousand years we've had a tacit agreement that men will risk their lives in all kinds of dangerous work,from fire-fighting,police work,military,mining of all sorts,etc.Women,for their part,risked their lives giving birth.

3:16.To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee. Mulieri quoque dixit multiplicabo aerumnas tuas et conceptus tuos in dolore paries filios et sub viri potestate eris et ipse dominabitur tui

3:17. And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee, that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work: with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life. Ad Adam vero dixit quia audisti vocem uxoris tuae et comedisti de ligno ex quo praeceperam tibi ne comederes maledicta terra in opere tuo in laboribus comedes eam cunctis diebus vitae tuae.

It would be one thing if this were simply a matter of a woman's choice.But having women performing police,fire,military.and other physically demanding work puts others at risk as well.We violate these precepts at great peril.

Most of those sluts probably have their abortionists on speed-dial.......

[Frank_2001]

MSNBC is the Network of Evil.
