Partial birth abortion wrong, but not reason for murder...

 

Those of us that are pro-life know who Tiller the baby killer was, but for those of you who don't know, here's what Wikipedia has on him: George Tiller (August 8, 1941 – May 31, 2009)[1][2] was a doctor specializing in late-term abortions in Wichita, Kansas in the United States. He was the medical director of an abortion clinic in Wichita, Women's Health Care Services, one of only three nationwide which would provide these controversial procedures.[






One of the reasons that I HATE Wikipedia is that it typically downplays things such as late term abortions (8 MONTHS). There is no excuse for late term abortions unless the mothers life in in danger. This isn't like first trimester abortions, where you can make arguments about it not being a "baby". This is infanticide. This is disgusting. However, it doesn't mean he should have been murdered.






Pro-lifers out there that participate in this sort of crap give people like me a bad name, and I hope the man that shot him (he is in custody) goes to jail.






On another note, President Barack Obama said he was "shocked and outraged" by the murder. "However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence," he said. I agree, however I DO find it ironic that he said that "issues such as abortion...cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence". Besides the fact that late-term abortions ARE HEINOUS ACTS OF VIOLENCE, Obama also is the most pro-death to babies President we've ever had. Here is a post on partial birth abortion that I had put up on my website (obviously it's a little old since my wife is no longer pregnant) that has the actual bill that Obama voted on in it as well as how they actually kill the child.



When you think of abortion, do you begin to get hungry? Apparently some people do. My wife is, as I've said on here before, six months pregnant. The thought of partial birth abortions is enough to make me sick, and especially when you look at the beautiful belly and feel the baby kick out at your hand. Nothing in this world is more special than having a child, and I look forward to meeting my son, Gage Lee Gearhart, around the middle of May. Now, with that said, lets throw some facts out there about Obama. If you'd like to look this up yourself, this is taken directly from the Transcript of the Illinois 92nd General Assembly, March 30th, 2001. The vote was along these lines: during failed saline abortions (basically the child is born, whoops!) a law was presented that stated that doctors would be required to care for the child, or the "failed abortion". There was only one man that not only voted against this bill, HE STOOD UP AND GAVE A SPEECH TRYING TO TALK OTHERS INTO VOTING AGAINST IT. Have you guessed who this is yet? I'll give you a minute. Got it yet? Yep. OBAMA. Now, let me ask you this, America. Why? Why would you not care for that child? Why let it die? The argument for abortion is that the mother shouldn't be forced to go through the pain of labor, yadda yadda yadda, but at this point the child is BORN. If you really don't want the baby after that, just put it up for adoption! That isn't an abortion at that point, it is infanticide plain and simple. Others that I have talked to about this, liberal others, make the argument, "Well it's still the mothers choice." What choice is left!? My wife recently posted a blog on our own personal myspace account about this, and one certain response is what inspired me to post this "Update". The response was around these lines (my wife deleted it already so unfortunately I can't quote it verbatim) "Well, I can have breakfast for dinner and maybe you don't agree with it, but what makes my decision wrong and yours right?" This was from a man that just recently HAD A CHILD. Now I'm by no means saying he doesn't love his child. I know for a fact he does and the child is a beautiful little girl, and I do have respect for this man. He's a good man, really he is and I hope I don't upset him by using his statement, but what the hell does that statement have to do with partial birth abortion? Having breakfast for dinner isn't equatable to killing your unborn child. Now, I'm not focusing on abortion laws as far as the first three month rule where it isn't considered a "child" (however I don't agree with that either), I'm talking about PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONS. You know, where they basically deliver all of the baby (oh I'm sorry fetus, is that detachable enough?) except the head. The doctor inserts a pair of surgical scissors into the base of the skull and sucks the child's brains out, obviously killing him. That is messed up. Period. Just take a look at the picture at  http://reasonbellpundit.blogspot.com/2009/05/partial-birth-abortions-wrong-but-not.html (it's this same article, but town hall for some reason won't let me post the aborted fetus. Being conservatives we find that OFFENSIVE)  and tell me if you feel like eating breakfast for dinner. I surely hope you don't.

Polite-itics

The "conversation" between ex-Presidents Bush and Clinton was...interesting, to say the least. Kind of like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type situation, I had conflicting views about the debate.

First, there was the hardcore conservative part of me, fuming at the news, watching protesters yell "Arrest George Bush" while holding signs reading "War Criminal". I wanted Bush to take hold of the crowd and DESTROY Clinton in heated debate. While many people believe Bush to be "stupid" or "dim-witted", nobody can argue that when the gloves come off, Bush can debate with some of the best (I only wish he defended himself more as President, but I guess that's a part of his character). I wanted Bush to slam Clinton on Rwanda (which although was mentioned, Bush didn't go for blood), and Lewinsky, and aspirin factory bombings, and Clinton's passing up on assassinating Osama Bin Laden...the list goes on and on. INSTEAD what I got to hear/read (since the "conversation" wasn't televised) was basically two ex-Presidents talking about the common bond that they shared, and calling each other brothers.

And that brought out the second side, that part that SHOULD have emerged first: the AMERICAN side. However much I despised Clinton's policies (and lets be frank, a good chunk of Bush's), at the end of each persons respectable eight year run as President all that's left (for each of them) is a man who loved his country enough to sacrifice everything for. No President can guarantee that they will do everything right. Every man makes mistakes, liberal and conservative, and quite frankly it was refreshing to see them as humans instead of what we commonly portray politicians as: either superheros or despots. I could only imagine the stress and worry of making decisions that literally affect MILLIONS of people, worrying about my family or myself being assassinated, and at end of the day I crack open a beer and turn on the TV to watch talking heads tear me a new one, regardless of what my decisions were. It makes you think for a moment about the humanity of these people and the Hell of being the most powerful man on the planet.

So politics aside for a moment, and a salute to ALL the Presidents with these last words: Better you than me.

Playing the race card, with an Ace up the sleeve

Sonia Sotomayor, Obamas pick for the Supreme Court, is playing the race card and playing it well. Her comments in 2001 about how a latina woman would make better decisions than a white man was unacceptable, and I agree with Newt on this one, she shouldn't accept the nomination. Now, that sounds great, but here in the real world, thats not going to happen, and heres why: Democrats engage in race baiting every chance they can get. We watched Obama do it during the campaign, we watched Clinton do it in the 90's (you know, the FIRST black President), and we are watching it now. From the beginning everybody knew that he would pick a minority/woman/both to fill the position. It was common knowledge amongst us conservatives, and as conservatives, we know that we are not racists. The color of a persons skin means nothing to me. What matters to me is the ability to do the job and to be the best at that position, not to mention substance of character and morals. Now, Judge Sotomayor making those comments by themselves would have been bad enough, but then she rules in a case that had to do with firefighters taking an exam for promotion and ruled that they couldn't be promoted because no black guys scored high enough?! This baffles me, and it shows Obamas "audacity"(yes, I'm sure it's overplayed by now...but not for me) and sheer ignorance towards the American way of life. And you know what? It's brilliant. THIS is why we can not fall into this bear trap.
 
Obama has purposefully picked a racist minority latina candidate for two reasons: to appease the left and to stir emotion in conservatives that beleive in equal rights for EVERYBODY, not just minorities. Now, as far as the rulings, she has ruled pretty much right on with the code of law (except that firefighter case, of course) and has even ruled conservative on matters of abortion. So while I agree she should not be let on with out some stern words about fairness and upholding the law, I think this is a "pick your battles" type situation. Obama could have picked an even more extreme leftist, and we can bet that he will in the future. His administration will use Sotomayor against us if we cause Hell right now, and so far the slogan of the party of "No" seems to catching on amongst liberals without common sense (or a brain). We need to save up for the judge that will be an extremist, because he/she is coming.
