It is some odd ethics that compare the killing of a killer of babies to the killing of a man who protested the killing of babies.
Wait ‘til we get a load of the Left using the government to kill the eldery and the handicapped. That is going to be a bloodbath.
I think you are correct. The leftist-socialists have a very strange way of thinking. They love mankind in the abstract. They love the poor, they love oppressed minorities, they love woman overburdened with raising children, they love the homeless. But they love all these unfortunates conceptually. And because they subscribe to this promiscuous philanthropy, they don't need any other virtues like fidelity to your spouse, or love to your own family, or the restraint of your appetites for sex, food, power, fame, or money. One grand abstraction trumps all the other human virtues. So if you are a Teddy Kennedy and love the poor so much, it's no big deal if you kill your mistress in a drunken stupor. Your drunkenness, your infidelity, your killing of a mistress--all can be easily ignored because you have the only virtue that matters--a flabby love of the poor and oppressed as an abstraction.
