defense of abortion – Lee Duigon

For our first venture into this day’s crapola, we have actor Liam Neeson–he once played Kinsey, and has never gotten over it–doing a voice-over for an ad calling for the repeal of the pro-life amendment to the Irish Constitution.

The Constitution, says Neeson, sounding just like any American liberal fat-head, was “written for another time,” a time “we thought we’d left behind us.”

Even a fool may be thought wise, if he can keep his trap shut (Proverbs 17:28). Neeson doesn’t know how to do that.

Apparently gazillions of women in Ireland died these horrible deaths because those dirty Christians and that mean old Catholic Church wouldn’t let them have abortions. The rhetoric is illustrated with views of an old ruined church, a spooky cemetery full of crosses, and a lot of sad and eerie music.

Yes, those bad old days of Christianity! Boy, good thing we don’t have to deal with that anymore! We have a glorious post-Christian culture perched atop a hill of corpses, millions of them babies’ corpses. Good thing we don’t believe in that bad old God anymore!

That’s why our world today is so blindingly humane and wonderful.

Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.

Remember when the law told you what you couldn’t do? So as long as you didn’t do this or didn’t do that, you were free.

Well, today’s new doctrine is: now the law is going to tell you what you must do. You must buy health insurance. You must take an active part in a homosexual “wedding” if they demand it of you.

And, under a law now pending in the California legislature, if you run or work at a pro-life counseling center… you must tell every woman who comes to you where to go to get an abortion. ( http://thekingdomdrivenfamily.com/2015/09/08/if-you-cant-win-cheat/#more-1469 )

As “progressives” rally to defend and promote the abortion industry, and sweep under the rug all those unpleasant videos of Planned Parenthood selling baby parts, they also continue their assault on free speech and the First Amendment.

How is it even remotely compatible with the First Amendment to the Constitution, for the government to tell you what you must say?

The bill even includes this bizarre text: “… there are nearly 200 licensed and unlicensed clinics known as crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in California whose goal is to interfere with women’s ability to be fully informed and exercise their reproductive rights…” (“reproductive rights” is lib-speak for killing the baby). Here the legislature is taking sides against the pro-life counselors, in favor of abortion providers–you know, people who kill babies for a living.

Note there is to be no requirement that Planned Parenthood or any other abortion facility be required to tell women where to go to get pro-life counseling. It’s very much a one-way street.

These are the things that are done to us when the rulers lose all fear of the electorate.
