Malignant Liberal Idiocy

Billy Crystal, the libiot Hillary supporter would be so proud that one of his characters seems to have inspired the “conservative” faction of the Demoncratic Party to accept the new platform on abortion. Like Miracle Max and his assessment of Wesley (The Princess Bride,) “only mostly dead” appears to be good enough for the most moral of the Demoncrats when it comes to the fate of the most innocent.

The Trail, a Washington Post campaign blog has the distasteful details in the entry, “Conservative Dems Hail Party Platform’s New Abortion Plank.”

New plank:

The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v Wade and a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.The Democratic Party also strongly supports access to affordable family planning services and comprehensive age-appropriate sex education which empower people to make informed choices and live healthy lives. We also recognize that such health care and education help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce the need for abortions. The Democratic Party also strongly supports a woman’s decision to have a child by ensuring access to and availability of programs for pre and post natal health care, parenting skills, income support, and caring adoption programs.

That was so life-respecting and generous to add the little afterthought at the end to appease the pro-life portion of their party, or at least the members of their party that claim to be pro-life. Leave it “Big Brother” Barry and his ilk to be appeasers, I just never thought the most pro-baby death Senator in The Senate would agree to such a plank. The last sentence in the plank must be for Democrats whose daughters get “punished with a baby (pronounced baybuh in Barry’s come and go accent.)”

More from supposed moral Demoncrats:

On a conference call Tuesday, a half-dozen anti-abortion pro-Democratic thinkers and religious leaders claimed victory for the party’s new abortion plank, which they said took a big step in their direction by more explicitly stating the party’s support for women who choose to carry their pregnancies to term. By doing so, they said, the Democrats were moving closer to the middle ground where most Americans reside — not wanting to criminalize abortions, but wanting to reduce the number performed.

“There’s a common ground possible here,” said Rev. Jim Wallis, the founder of Sojourners, the country’s largest network of liberal Christians. “It’s never been as explicitly stated that the Democratic Party supports a woman’s decision to have their child, and offers her practical support to have her child. It’s an historic step forward.” He added, “This plank makes room for people with moral convictions about abortion…. A lot of people are going to find their convictions represented here.”

Translation: We prefer that babies not be killed, but it isn’t really all that important to us. As long as we are shown a little respect and credited with a softening of the traditional (modern) Democratic Party motto of “An Abortion In Every Pot,” we’ll be satisfied and will be able to support the man that killed the “Born Alive Protection Act” in The Illinois Senate with a clear collective conscience!

I guess a pro-life Demoncrat could be compared to:

• A PETA supporting vegetarian that wears leather shoes
• An eco-conscious celebrity that jets across the globe and complains about carbon emissions
• A politician that calls for taxing “windfall” profits of oil companies, but not those of Hollywood entities
• A candidate that campaigns on poverty while living in a 28,000 square foot house
• A person that cries “keep your laws off my body” then expects government to take over healthcare, which would presumably involve the person’s body

To borrow Barack Obama’s most commonly uttered two words, “Ya know,” I think the candidate that has no core principles is a perfect fit for the type of “pro-life” person that can so easily find abortion acceptable.
