Righteous Blindness
24-Jan-05
I just finished watching live coverage of President Bush’s phoned-in speech to an anti-abortion demonstration. Needless to say, it’s clear that he has plans to try to overturn Roe v. Wade or at least get the ball rolling in that direction before he leaves office.
Anywho, his comments basically accused people who are Pro-Choice of somehow being less noble than Pro-Lifers. I’m in the middle of the fence on this issue, I fully support a woman’s right to have an abortion, but that wouldn’t be a choice I made, personally.
Okay, that said, if he’s SO convinced of the “nobility” of the pro-life movement, how can he justify their hypocrisy? What’s noble about bombing abortion clinics or shooting doctors who perform abortions? True, not ALL Pro-Lifers have done those things, but a majority of them felt a tingle of righteous victory when they happened. Pro-Life, indeed. I’ve known a couple of Pro-Lifers who were happy when that abortion clinic in Georgia got bombed, how ironic is that? Pro-Life promoting their beliefs through murder and terrorism.
Oh the hypocrisy!!! People’s fuckin’ noses are buried WAY too deep in the business of everybody else in this country. Women who make the choice to terminate their pregnancy pay an emotional price for their choice that lasts them a long time. There’s no need to further punish them by calling them a murderer outside of the clinic.
Mind your own fucking business and try to make this country a better place to live. Oh, I forgot, you’ve deluded yourselves into thinking that’s exactly what you’re doing. Sorry, my bad. Just bear in mind as you promote your agenda of Life through the machine of murder and terrorism, that ours is a land of freedom. And I’ll bet a GOOD number of you Pro-Lifers who scream everyday about the rights of the unborn, voted AGAINST the rights of homosexuals or support the president in his anti-gay agenda if you didn’t have the chance to plant a dagger on election day.
Think about it.
