Meet the Real Abortion Extremists: Colorado Legislatures Are So Zealously Committed to Abortion, They Will Not Even Criminalize Killers Who <i>Cut Babies Out of Their Mothers' Wombs Against Their Wishes</i>

Meet the Real Abortion Extremists: Colorado Legislatures Are So Zealously Committed to Abortion, They Will Not Even Criminalize Killers Who Cut Babies Out of Their Mothers' Wombs Against Their Wishes

That is not some hypothetical, of course -- that just happened. An attacker stabbed a pregnant woman in her home, and left her for dead -- but not before cutting her baby out of her.

The baby died, the woman did not -- but this grisly murderer can't be charged with murder, because prosecutors claim the law doesn't permit murder charges involving a fetus. (Though I smell a strong whiff of "I don't want to" in this claim of "I can't.")

So some Colorado legislatures want to write the law so that it explicitly covers this situation.

But abortion extremists -- the real abortion extremists -- insist that cutting a pregnant woman's baby out of her and killing it, even against her wishes, should not be a crime in and of itself. You could charge this guy with assault for cutting the woman -- but the deliberate cutting out of her unborn child would support no further charges, because it's simply not a life. It's not even property that could be vandalized.

Not even that.

This law, by the way, explicitly exempts voluntary abortions. So it can't be claimed this is back-dooring a ban. Nope, abortions are outside the scope of this bill.

It is opposed only on "What it says" about a fetus.

The truth is that pro-choice advocates don't want district attorneys prosecuting people for killing fetuses because it sets up two dangerous debates.
First, the act of humanizing unborn babies that women want to keep means humanizing unborn babies others do not want to keep. Aurora [the slain baby] got a name, but the other third-trimester babies disposed of aren’t as fortunate.
Secondly, any admission by liberals that life in the womb is human life worthy of protections sets up a host of uncomfortable philosophical questions and legal precedents. For starters, how can the act of killing a fetus -- granted, for different purposes and with very different levels of violence -- end a human life in one instance and not the other?
...
So here are a few questions reporters may want to ask liberal politicians at some point: Do you believe ending the life of a seven-month-old fetus without the mother’s permission should be considered a homicide? How about a nine-month-old fetus? If so, why isn’t a post 20-week abortion also a homicide? What would Hillary’s answer be? I’m sure we’ll find out.
I’ve read plenty regarding the Colorado legislature debate about this case, and I can't find a reporter asking anything resembling a grilling. Since the media demands GOPers explain their position on rape and incest exemptions, the above seems like a reasonable line of inquiry.

But the media won't ask, because the media is not interested in informing the public or testing candidates' philosophies; they are only concerned with propagandizing in favor of their beloved Democrat Party.

This is, of course, a #LocalCrimeStory only.

--

This is actually the most prominent point. Over the years, I have had many, many conversations with liberals and pro-abortion leaners, and when we get to the details, they literally cover their ears so as not to hear about the death of a baby, or to think about what happens when a forceps or knife starts pulling the limbs off of a non-sedated baby.

EVERYONE, and I mean everyone, knows that abortion is the killing of a human being, but those on the abortion side just refuse to think about it.

He got charged with two homicides -- one for his wife, one for her unborn baby.

I never understand how in liberal Mecca, that could happen.

Either it's a "fetus" which is latin for "unimportant clump of cells" (according to the left) or it's a human life. Can't be both.

So in other words, whether she just stabbed the woman with a knife or murdered a baby in the mothers womb, it's the same charge.

76 The most controversial post I ever made:

http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=1595

------

Why Sharron Angle's rape/abortion position makes pro-choice me respect her more

Recently, Sharron Angle, Nevada’s Republican nominee for Senate, was savagely criticized by the Harry Reid campaign (her Democratic opponent) and by liberals in general when she reaffirmed her belief that even rape victims who become pregnant should carry their babies to term and not have abortions:

...

But, despite being pro-choice myself, I had the opposite reaction. Angle’s unwavering philosophical consistency was a rare treat to behold in this nation of fickle politicians. Because Angle’s hardline stance is to my mind the only valid pro-life stance.

We’re All Lying

I think both sides of the abortion debate are lying and have been lying since the argument first arose. Anyone who wants to forbid abortion “except in cases of rape or incest” is, frankly, full of crap. And here’s why:

If you truly are “pro-life” in that you believe abortion is murder because the unborn child is a full-fledged human being, then you wouldn’t so casually allow the child to be murdered simply based on its parent’s misbehavior.

...

Allowing a rape-and-incest exception to any abortion ban essentially means we are willing to punish the children for the sins of the father. And that’s not the way our society works.

...

So, even though my pro-choice stance differs from that of Sharron Angle, my admiration for her honesty and moral clarity on the topic trumps my personal opinions about abortion.

77 I have a proposal that will surely resonate with the deranged leftists, since the beginning of life is entirely variable to them, I would suggest that the next case of child murder is evaluated through this optic: was the murdered child son of leftists? Since they believe that life's beginning is relative, a judge can reasonably declare that the 2 year old kid was not murdered.

See? they enjoy dehumanizing the 'foetus', I am only in favour of dehumanizing THEIR foetuses.

80 Aggravated assault, grievous bodily harm, maybe attempted murder but that will depend on the facts of the case.

Just cutting someone is not automatic attempted murder.

And I think there's an element of what the intent of the assailant was at the time of the assault. They would have to KNOW that cutting the baby out would lead to murder and that was their intent.

This is sooo fcuked up.

She was charged with some serious crimes and will almost certainly be going to prison for a long, long time. Speaking of Colorado nutjobs, by the way, they're finally getting around to trying the Aurora theater Joker killer. He should be nothing but a memory by now.

Rand got asked an abortion question and he said "I'll answer that after you ask debbie wasserman shutlz when life starts. Can you kill a 7 pound baby in the womb?"

And DWS tweeted: "Answer is easy. Its between woman and doctor. NO GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE"

Then she went on cable TV and kind of backed out of the whole abortion thing because she realized only 12% of the country agrees with unlimited abortions on demand at any time for any reason at any point in the pregnancy.

But the story changed from Rands position to a debate on abortion in general.

Further problem being that no one can "live on their own."

Everyone needs food, shelter, clothing, etc. Adults can manage to find those for themselves, but children and infants cannot.

Obviously any infant left alone would starve to death (or die of exposure). Yet we don't suggest they're not alive.

And science (actual science, not "Science!") has already answered the question of when life begins: conception. And once life begins it is a human life- it can be no other. Ergo all the "Natural Rights" apply.

Posted by: GMan at April 17, 2015 02:39 PM (sxq57)

90 Well, here's the thing. California and New York, for example, both have laws that call killing an unborn baby murder if its against the mother's will.

Now every sane, rational human being on earth that has even the most tenuous grasp on law understands that this conclusively and absolutely demonstrates that each state and their laws recognize unborn babies as distinct human beings. But they cling to the laws anyway and pretend abortion isn't killing a human.

Colorado, apparently, has decided to be consistent about it. They're simply noting that killing unborn babies isn't murder no matter how you do it. They're wrong and awful, but at least they're consistent and rational about it.

Because once you declare that fetus is a "person" when involuntarily removed it makes it really hard to then insist that when removed voluntarily it is magically transformed into a "non-person."

105 If you believe in abortion on demand, you cannot call killing unborn babies murder no matter how it happens, and be remotely consistent. Either that unborn baby is a human being you can murder or they are not.

If they are a human being you can murder then abortion cannot be legal at any point. If it is not, then what he did was simply mutilate her body more.

108 Part of the problem with this shit is that everyone focuses on the extreme stories. Some asshole in CO wants to essentially legalize infanticide and the reaction is "SEE, IF YOU SUPPORT ABORTION YOU SUPPORT THIS". No. I support abortion and in no way support this. And if you ask 100 people at random do you support this, I'm guessing 90 will say no and of those 90, 50 will also say they support abortion generally speaking.

And it works the reverse as well. What was the left's reaction with Memories Pizza? Why every single Republican hates gays because this one chick said she wouldn't care a gay wedding. And every Republican thinks the same was as Todd Akin thinks.

This is a simple debate, one easily determined. Life begins at conception, and a child should be MOST protected within his or her mother's womb. If this is NOT true, then we are well and truly screwed.

Don't want a baby? Quit having sex. We are pretty sure that works 100% of the time, and doesn't involve murder.

And soon, due to medical science, those children WILL be viable..

We could really move the bubble on the debate... because the VAST majority of people would agree... just not the zealots on either extreme...

Which would stop a LOT of abortions, thus saving a LOT of Humans...

172 >>Part of the problem with this shit is that everyone focuses on the extreme stories.

Self awareness much, Mr. "I only want to talk about abortion for rape victims"?

This is not extreme, it actually gets to root of the issue: is the fetus, at any point, considered a valued life (i.e. when does it have personhood)? If so, at what point?

Non-extreme abortion supporters seem OK w/1st trimester abortion, but when it gets closer to the due date it's an ickier proposition - is it not infanticide if the fetus/baby is developed enough to survive outside of the womb?

The extremists have figured that they cannot give the fetus/baby any value, any personhood, prior to birth - even when involuntarily removed, because that would then give personhood to the fetus/babies destroyed in a late-term abortion.

Polls also show the same large majority, maybe even higher, is fine with a ban on partial birth abortion.

But instead of focusing on the latter, you do your damnest to concentrate on the former, since, well a 3 hour old fetus and a 9 month fetus is indistinguishable since life is life.

Step back a second and ask yourself what will advance your cause better? Fight like hell to ban the partial birth, or convince people who agree with you on banning partial birth that they are still monsters for not being in favor of a full ban?

Logically (scientifically, too, but we'll just stick to logic for now) you must either be against abortion entirely (1 exception I'll get to), or you must believe that until it is born (have fun defining *that*) the child is not a human life. If it is not a human life, then nothing is out-of-bounds.

The single exception is when the life of the mother is in danger. And by "life of the mother is in danger" I mean: there is no third option- pick one, your child dies or you(or your wife) dies.

And then, because *someone* is going to die anyway, then the (still) evil choice must be made- because fallen world. But however evil they may be, truly necessary evils are necessary.

Without an absolute certainty, we must err on the side of caution to protect innocent, helpless babies. Every single moral and legal system ever devised agrees with this principle... until abortion comes up.

Agreed. The force of the state must alway err on the side of caution, which is why we provide for the defense of accused criminals, and if they receive the death penalty, they are automatically given an appeal.

Yet, when a demonstrably innocent child's life is at stake, we are supposed to allow it to be killed because it is convenient to do so?

Not so. You can positively say that abortion is murder in all its particulars and that abortionists as well as anyone connected to it have blood on their hands, yet maintain that it is their choice to do so, despite it. Because of its legality. And one could say that recognition is the only way one could possibly achieve the goal of "safe legal and RARE"

I don't actually agree with that. I think that, properly argued, you could get a complete ban of abortion in the United States- because people know that's a human baby, not "a clump of cells."

However, even if you're right- there is a difference between the position of the Moloch lover and your own- the worshipers of Moloch view abortion as "not being punished with a baby." You acknowledge that even a 1st trimester abortion is evil, and are only open to it because of political exigencies.

Which, BTW, I don't agree with. Morals and Principles are non-negotiable.

Which is why I'll never run for President.

Actually, no. The tide has turned, Moo.

I think your concern for us might be concern for yourself. Deep down, you yourself think there is a line ("insane") across which we cannot cross, but you can't bring yourself to follow your objection through to its logical conclusion. If you were intellectually honest, you'd see that the only possible case that permits a doctor to save mother or child, but not both, is one in which the baby's being carried to term, or born, will cause the mother's death.

But here's the kicker. I'm not an attorney, and I'd welcome correction on this, but I've heard that many (or all) laws concerning infanticide were written to permit just this exception. Roe's language about "the life of the mother" was the loophole through which Margaret $anger & Co. drove their bloody truck.

All you offer is bromides, pathos arguments, supposition and vituperation couched in a bunch of petty invectives.

So your argument is basically abandon the logic and intellect because people don't want it- that people will respect you more? That's it? That's what this is about?

What kind of stupidity is that? Oh yea, only rubes, those backwards Christians who just can't seem to live in the 21st century and hillbillies believe those intellectual inclusions which pass every logical, intellectual and argumentative hurdle

The story is a woman is assaulted and has her live baby carved out. The best you can offer is some distraction about when does life begin, you know, because the real extremists arguing this can't be murder because it's one of those non-person fetuses, who (sorry,"it") happens to be a necessary part of becoming a real person- might be right.

Here's an idea. You go with that. In the meantime I'll use this as justification for legal murder of the person who committed this heinous act. In fact, I'll declare him a non person also and carve the flesh from his body.

Because he's really not a person to commit such an act is he?

Oh wait, that's different. His mother didn't hug him enough as a child. So we shouldn't put him in jail. We should pay his mortgage and medical care for life because he was deprived or some shit.

Fuck your sophism douchebag.

Yes, unborn babies are human. So is your hand, and so is your hair. Simply being human cells and tissue doesn't make you a distinct person deserving of protections of law and having a distinct life.

Killing an unborn baby, the abortionist argues, is like cutting out a tumor or an appendix. It is a human tissue, surely, but not a person.

268 This is the hypocrisy of the law - a fetus is a child when someone "on the street" kills the kid without Mom's consent. But if Mom gives consent, and the murderer is a doctor, its a collection of cells and God Bless America. It's doublethink, cognitive dissonance.

Sorry, that is the definition of an UNEQUAL protection of laws a doctor is applauded and paid for doing what a bum on the street is imprisoned for. Equal protection ain't just for gays, ya know.

Either its a life, or it ain't. And you embrace all the consequences that each choice brings.

This is all because, under the law, the child is technically "nothing" - not property, not a person, not a developing life, etc. It's nothing, a non-entity. If it's "property" that brings up too many allusions to slavery, and we can't have that can we (and it would also support a father's property interest in the kid, thus giving him a veto power, and here come the feminists flailing arms).

And it's not a life under law because abortion is not considered a "lesser of two evils" where one life is regretfully lost to benefit another and thus may be best left to the mother/doctor (which is what most mistake it as) - it's actually considered akin to "contraception", as if it was "preventing a life" from existing like a condom. It's not - it's terminating a life that's already begun.

And it has nothing to do with "the Mom considers it a child" - the law is a "right to an abortion". period, and that means a right to a procedure which results in eliminating a "thing" inside you. Mom's opinion that it's really a kid is IRRELEVANT. The rights of the father are MEANINGLESS. The rights of the developing life are MEANINGLESS.

Still support it?

They keep pointing out that the bill is superfluous because the attacker now faces more than 100 years in prison if she is convicted. Punishing the perpetrator for any crimes is not the same as finding justice for all the victims. Who the victims are is what is in dispute. And Democrats believe there was only one.

Abortion fails on every level - legal, moral, logical, philosophical, everything. The only reason its even considered is because the people who want them want to not have to deal with the consequences of their lifestyle.

And for some women who get an abortion, I have deep sympathy, compassion, and understanding. Sometimes they do it out of terror or feeling trapped. You're 15, your dad is a marine and your mom teaches sunday school when she's not in the choir at church. You snuck out to be with that hunky Johnny who's a senior and has a car, and got knocked up in a moment of poor teenage decision. Your choices at the age of 15 seem to be suicide and abortion.

Or you've just been raped by your stepdad the 40th time when he came home drunk and this time against the odds you got pregnant. Do you want to carry the baby to term? Especially knowing stepdad will probably beat you to paste for getting pregnant?

Sometimes the choices seem impossible and you just want a way out. So I have sympathy. I just know its evil to kill a baby.

In academic circles, from the late 1800s through at least the 1940s, you were an absolute moron if you didn't believe in Eugenics.

Read Oliver Wendell Holmes "three generations of imbeciles are enough" statement and think about it. It's an "unanswerable" assertion. Just like "a woman must be allowed to choose."

305 The fairly new, Garth Brooks song "Mom" speaks to the unborn issue.
Beginning of song baby is looking at Earth and talking to God. It's pretty from here but it's great big and scary.

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you."

If you haven't heard the song...

Understood, and agreed. I will see it when it comes out, because I, like you, don't want to turn my head away from something that is so ugly and so very real. A lot of people will choose to turn away, and chase unreality and the Kardashians so they can have an excuse to not see this or "The Silent Scream" and really get a good lookat what an abortion is.

311 Or you've just been raped by your stepdad the 40th time when he came home drunk and this time against the odds you got pregnant. Do you want to carry the baby to term? Especially knowing stepdad will probably beat you to paste for getting pregnant?

Sometimes the choices seem impossible and you just want a way out. So I have sympathy. I just know its evil to kill a baby.

Then whack the stepdad. Problem solved.

The Hugo Winners Volume 3 Book 2 had a short story by Frederick Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth called "The Meeting." In it a very poor family with a disabled child is asked to sacrifice their child so a rich family can get their injured child back.

You should because you are allow Moo Moo to conflate two points. SoCons believe all abortion is murder. Just because SoCons believe abortion to be murder does not mean they can't understand the politics of what they can achieve. Moo Moo seems to ignore that partial birth abortion bans, ultrasound requirements, etc. are things the SoCons have pushed for.

I hope not. Don't get me wrong, (and please don't think I'm trying to play holier than thou)what they did is a horrific sin, and any time someone murders another person they are playing God and spitting in His face.

Little Aurora is in heaven with her Father, and while that doesn't make the murderess' guilt any less, the little oneis safely home. He knows who she was, and what He intended, and what one evil human being with her own free will rejected and spat on.
God help me, because I know I'm being sanctimonious, but I cannot imagine what standing before the Lord with that on my charge sheet would be like, and I hope the Lord gets ahold of the heart of the murderess and the people who defend her from the "abortion" side. To be a unredeemed, unrepentant sinner, and a great one at that, in the hands of a just and righteous God is not something I would wish on anyone.

Think about how hard it is to adopt these days. If I were conspiracy minded, I would look at the costs and requirements for adoption, and compare them to the costs and requirements for an abortion, and think that some people in the government have at least some preference for aborted children over adopted ones. Less paperwork.

Posted by: lurkingestlurker-Giant Plush Porcupine at April 17, 2015 03:29 PM (k8xvx)

329 All our kids had personalities in utero. Oldest, occasionally rambunctious and interactive. Middle, quiet and easy. Youngest, always active but not really interactive.

And they all recognized our voices. When they look up at you, barely able to life their little heads, and look as if they're straining to compute what they see ... it's not really the birth of a strange thing, but meeting someone for the first time.

I pointed this out in a debate the other day in the Breitbart comments; I even linked and quoted several Biology textbooks. The person I was debated did a hard turn and was claiming that when life begins all the sudden wasn't a scientific question... it was a philosophical question so I could keep my nasty Christofascist science to myself.
...
OK, so that last part was more heavily implied instead of outright said.

Posted by: redbanzai at April 17, 2015 03:32 PM (OrI3J)

334 I think you're overthinking it. It's hard to adopt healthy infants because there's so few of them being placed for adoption, since there has been a cultural shift regarding single parenthood and getting married while pregnant. And birth control. The majority of abortions are done on adult women, not 15 year olds.

342 Stories like this make me heartsick. AndI know this makes me sound crazy but I consider myself a Christian guy and I personally (and mostly privately)believe 55 million abortions represent a kind of modern-day child sacrifice that serves the same purpose as that practiced by ancient peoples. I believe abortion is Satanic in nature and I oppose it on both religious and humanist grounds.

If key opinion and thought leaders on the American Left get their way--thinkers/leaders like Ezekiel Emmanuel for example--we'll be seeing outright infanticide within the next decade, mass euthanasia of the elderly and infirm in the decade after that. I see it coming as clearly as if it has already happened. We must stop it or at least try to stop it. It's as evil as it gets.

344 Reminds me of the Peterson case in California (some years ago). Pro-abortionists were against the two charges (baby and mother) rather then just one (mother). Scott Peterson was charged and convicted of double homicide and is currently on death row.

It bothered me somewhat that a woman's choice could define murder.

For the record I am pro-choice, in the pure sense as Zombie described. Who in this day and age would condemn the children for the sins of the father.

Make people own that shit instead of engaging in some serious suspension of disbelief on a massive scale where everyone pretends women are doing something different. That's how we got here and it needs to stop.
