What the left has been salivating over – oh, glorious day, we’re now back in the business of ripping children to shreds while they are in the womb, as a nation:
…President Obama signed several Executive orders. The one of particular note was related to ensuring that the United States would not engage in torture; that we would treat even our enemies with proper recognition of their fundamental human dignity.
In that executive order, the new administration reaffirmed the requirements of the Federal Torture Statute… “regulating the treatment and interrogation of individuals detained in any armed conflict, such persons shall in all circumstances be treated humanely and shall not be subjected to violence to life and person (including murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment, and torture), nor to outrages upon personal dignity (including humiliating and degrading treatment), whenever such individuals are in the custody or under the effective control of an officer, employee, or other agent of the United States Government….”
The move was welcomed by many, this writer included.It received the affirmation of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and loud praise from throughout the world…
…Our new President signed another executive order today. This one he signed quietly, late on a Friday afternoon, at the time when actions are usually taken with hopes they will not receive much coverage. It was not done with lights and cameras and words of explanation. With the quiet deadly stroke of a pen, President Obama rescinded what is called the “Mexico City Policy”.
The policy was drafted by Pro-life champion Alan Keyes when he served the Reagan administration. It was instituted in 1984. The Policy made it clear that any non-governmental entities requesting foreign aid from the United States would not use those funds to provide for, refer or promote abortions. It was intended to prevent the United States from exporting abortion on demand around the world.
In short, the “Mexico City Policy” protected another group of human persons from being tortured, unto their death. Only these small people are not in a detention center. They are living in the first home of the whole human race, their mother’s womb.
Come now, liberals, tell us how proud you are about this. We’d especially appreciate an explanation for why this courageous step forward for the rights of children wasn’t done with more fanfare by President Obama – I’m sure you’ve got a good explanation for that.
I’m certain the artsy types among you are right now planning a documentary which will actually show a glorious abortion on camera…because in the exercise of our basic human rights, nothing should be hidden, right? I mean, we speak in public in the exercise of our right to free speech – so why not do abortions in public? What is there to be ashamed of? I mean, its just as natural and good an act as a mother nursing her child, and we don’t really mind when a woman does that in public, do we?
Why not some school field trips to the local abortion mill? You can have a one hour old baby brought in so that you can explain the our old baby is human and thus has rights, but that other baby – in the birth canal – isn’t, so here’s how we punch a hole in its head and suck out the brains…cool, isn’t it, kiddies?
That is, unless you – deep down inside – realize that it is a shameful thing to do, and thus you want to hide it from public view, and call your support for it support for a “right to choose”. Tell us, liberals, what is it?
