Wash Post: Pro-Life Views "Ideologically Offensive"
Culture and Media Institute ^ | 11/10/08 | Kristen Fyfe

“Controversial.” “Onerous.” “Ideologically offensive.” These are the words used by Washington Post reporters Ceci Connolly and R. Jeffrey Smith to describe the pro-life policies of President George W. Bush. The liberal slam came in an article about some of the early actions President-elect Obama will seek to take when he is inaugurated next year.

“Obama Positioned to Quickly Reverse Bush Actions” was carried in the November 9 edition of the Post. The story revealed that Obama is “now consulting with liberal advocacy groups” in order to create a hit list of “the most onerous or ideologically offensive” regulatory and policy initiatives of the Bush administration. Two of the top three initiatives singled out in the Post’s story are pro-life: embryonic stem cell research and abortion funding. The other is global warming.

The Post also quoted Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards who said the country’s leading abortion-provider is in near-daily communication with Obama’s transition team and “expects to see real change.” In other words, Planned Parenthood got the president they wanted.

“Controversial.” “Onerous.” “Ideologically offensive.” Morally repugnant and evil. That decribes pro-choice policies.

Well, we certainly need a law to protect us against idealogically offense speech. Related to the freedom from being offended.

The ride is about to get a lot rougher, Jim.

A lot rougher.

“Sick bastards!”

Not sick...evil! Sick implies that they can't help what they do. Conscious and malicious intent defines this as evil.

Arguments by abortion advocates are intellectually lazy.

Opposing baby killing is offensive?

Rev. Wright, Obama's pastor prayed "God D--- America," That prayer might well be heard in a form not expected, unto judgment and wrath, and exactly for such depravity.

I’m not the least surprised. I suspect that a lot of these people have been involved with the destruction of pre-born life. When you are, then your mind does what it can to rationalize what you’ve done. How else could you live with yourself? These people have their own private agendas, and most of them don’t even know it.

Infanticide is onerous and ideologically insensitive?

You might ask the babies what they thing. Oh, you can’t. They are all dead and can’t complain.

Look, I am not a particularly religious person for many reasons. However this mania to kill not yet born but clearly Human children is beyond my capacity to understand. I guess, a pro-life declaration is now hate speech or hate thought — chilling.

God gave America every bit of information necessary to let us know that this election was good vs evil, and which side was which.

Americans have no excuse for the majority choosing evil. Now comes judgement.

I think that is spot on. In the back of their mind they have an endless tape-loop constantly saying "I'm not going to hell! I'm not going to hell! I'm not! I'm not!"

You’re onto something that I figured out, as well.

The abortion (stem cell) issue is not about keeping future abortions legal. It’s about there being no moral weight assigned to the killing of the unborn, in order to assuage the guilt of those that have already been involved with abortion - either themselves, a girlfriend, or a daughter.

In order to keep the guilt weight off, they’ll do ANYTHING to justify the non-wrongness of what they did, especially encouraging others to commit the same sin in order for it to be more “normal”.

Wait until judgment day, you know-it-alls in the press. We’ll get to see and hear what God thinks of murdering His most innocent.

Isn’t it amazing that the first thing liberals go after are the most innocent and helpless? I’ve never seen a group in such a hurry to kill before.

I agree largely with you assessment....however, I'd like to think that there is still a chance for those young people who have been indoctrinated since birth with moral relativism to turn themselves around and choose the right road.

I do believe that there are many that are still simply naive and have not yet actually crossed the line. Or at least I hope so......
