Save the whales, kill the babies. Save the Bay, kill another 50 million babies. 50 million. That’s the estimated number of abortions in the U.S since 1973. Save the rainforest, let the babies die.
The hypocrisy of many left-wing zealots would be amusing if it weren’t so tragic. These folks love to advertise their philanthropic exploits by “saving” things, none of which is unborn children. Sometimes I think they try to out-empathize one another until one or the other cries “uncle,” and the loser agrees to cry in their latte until whatever needs saving is either extinct or added to the endangered species list. Print media like The New York Times and the Washington Post always give them plenty of ink, while television shows like “The View,” and “Hardball” allow them plenty of “face” time. The cackling heads or tingling leg, as the case may be, allow them plenty of time to pitch their save the whatever, in the hope that like-minded loons will donate to their cause du jour, or vote or speak out against anyone who might be insolent enough to disagree with their positions. There’s rarely a mention of the 50 million not saved. These thoroughly “unbiased” media outlets embrace the culture of death, while praising these lunatics at every turn.
Don’t get me wrong -- I’m for saving the whales. I think saving San Francisco Bay is a noble goal. I’m not so sure about San Francisco itself, but the Bay deserves to be saved. The same holds true for the Narragansett and Chesapeake Bays. I’d even go so far as to say I think it’s a good idea to save the sheep (a particular favorite of Joaquin Phoenix and someone named “Pink”), tigers, chimpanzees, elephants, redwoods, frogs, Dalmatians, and pretty much every other creature or plant needing to be “saved.” I might even be convinced to save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, but the existence of that particular creature turned out to be an Internet hoax. I say let’s save them all, but let’s save the NEXT 50 million babies first.
You can also save the Sound -- that’s the Long Island Sound. VH1 wants to save the music -- that would be music education in our public schools, while others want to save the “gunks,” which are actually upstate New York’s Shawangunk Mountains. Perhaps these three could team up and get a transgendered individual from San Francisco to dress up like a Bavarian nanny and sing, “Climb every Shawangunk Mountain.” They could call it “The Sound and Music.” One can save the river -- as in Upper St. Lawrence, the dunes -- of northwest Indiana, the San Francisco Peaks -- of northern Arizona, the Rainforest, and of course, the earth. These are a mere snippet of things the left loves to save. Both Michigan and Ohio want to “save the dream.” That’s the dream of owning your own home even though you couldn’t afford it in the first place and now you’re facing possible foreclosure. Sounds more like a nightmare than a dream, but what do I know? After all, I’m only a working stiff who pays his bills on time. As unfashionable as it might be, I only bought as much house as I could honestly afford. Sure, the bank offered to lend my wife and me more than we needed, but we knew someday we might have to pay the piper if things went south, so we took the conservative or, dare I say, the responsible route. Presto! We didn’t need to save the dream! I only wish we didn’t need to save the unborn.
With all of this saving going on, one might think leftists would at least consider saving something that really matters -- something like human life. After all, saving the waves (yes that really exists -- Google it if you have any doubt) can’t really be more important than a child’s life, can it? Sadly, the left wants to save the “gunks,” the pine bush (also in upstate New York), and the prairie more than they want to save a baby from having its brain sucked out a day or two before birth.
To a devoted leftist, a viable fetus is nothing more than a big lump of protoplasm, while a lighthouse, dune, prairie or even a wave is held as sacred and must -- under any circumstance, or at any cost -- be saved! Of course, they don’t see the hypocrisy of the position they’ve taken. They see it as “saving” a woman’s mythical right to choose. What about the rights of the baby? Oh, that’s right, lumps of protoplasm don’t have any rights.
God save us all.

Don’t forget the Sea-Kittens...
It is not just about babies or the unborn anymore. It is about our soldiers, our grandmothers and grandfathers.
It is their refusal to allow us to access our own natural resources and then they go shout, No blood for oil, but it is their own policies that put our boys in harms way.
It is now a government healthcare plan that they openly admit denies care to the elderly and instead offers a responsibility to die counseling program.
They want to kill the elderly as well.
And don’t forget those who have a different ideology than they have.
Simple explanation - like their ideological father, they hate people.
John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
I wonder if the morons who suggested that considered how many might encourage real kittens to become “sea kittens” by immersing them in water? “I just put them in that sack so they’d have a chance to adjust to becoming sea kittens.”
I'd add senior citizens.
Note to AARP: They're coming for your members next. And you can't plead ignorance.
Save the chickens in the chicken industry, but don’t you dare say someone doesn’t have the right to kill their fully formed fetus.
Sea-Kittens? I love Sea-Kittens.....fried and with hush puppies.
I wonder what their reaction would be if it was suggested that cats and puppies be aborted.
It’s all about sex and escaping the responsibility of the consequences of sex. Once you claim that sex is recreational and there is no good reason not to have lots of it, you unlease a whole list of consequences that the left is endlessly trying to get people out of instead while avoiding the root cause. It’s not just pregnancy but STDs (clinics and vaccines), emotional trauma (counseling and militant feminism telling women to suck it up like men), AIDS (more funding and civil rights protections for people who have it), sexual assaults (awareness training), sexualized children (give them sex education earlier and earlier), and on and on.
For pregnancy, birth control is the first line of defense but deep down inside, leftists know that birth control stands no more chance of ending all pregnancies than abstinence education does (a point we should be making every time they bring up the straw man that abstinence will never stop all teenagers from having sex). So that’s why they need abortion. Abortion is the safety net for when birth control fails. It’s the “Get Out of Jail Free” card for recreational sex. And that’s why they must defend it. What about taking responsibility? The left is big on collective responsibility. Personal responsibility? Not so much.
And as Justice Ginsburg pointed out, there are also a sizable number of people who support abortion for racist and classist reasons. We can’t have the “wrong people” making babies.
It might be a good idea for conservatives to have a come back line to liberals (especially in politics and on TV)- “You are obsessed with our comments about the bedroom, but you guys are in our kitchen, our car, our job, the doughnut shop and now the gas station. Which is worse good morals or all your rules about life?”
At the next Planned Parenthood rally maybe instead of sign with pictures of aborted fetuses you instead have your signs that say “Save the H. Sapiens Fetus from extinction” and maybe have pictures of the earth and stuff.
works for me!!
Nazi Germany isn't the only recent society that went stark raving mad.

Amen. Let those with eyes see and ears hear.
Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the LORD HATES, seven that are DETESTABLE to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Ezekiel 12:1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
