To the illustrious Mr. Pot:
I chose the topic of my last missive for the outgoing year
of 2013 as an opportunity to decry the dehumanization of our culture and
re-educate some of my good friends on the Left about the hideous practices to
which the landmark decision of 1973, Roe v Wade,
has sunk. While the Left has generally succeeded in disguising the gruesome
practice of abortion under the feel good terms of Reproductive Rights and Women's
Health Issues, the fact remains that abortion has little to do with either.
It is the typical left wing tactic to give a lofty name to a practice that most
Americans would eschew if it was honestly presented. The
Affordable Care Act signed into law in 2010 by President Obama is another egregious example of the
political use of misnomers.
Few educated Americans can delve successfully into the logic
that the majority of the Supreme Court employed to determine the
constitutionality of a practice which is so inherently unconstitutional.
Writing the majority opinion, Associate Justice Harry Blackmun linked abortion
to the vague and constantly re-emerging concept of an individual right to
privacy. Conservative pundits and legal scholars alike often refer to this
decision as the ultimate grasping of legal straws to satisfy a voracious
feminist appetite of the time. Ironically, the Gloria Steinems, past and
present, constantly gloss over the undeniable fact that more than half of the
aborted babies in this country are female and possible future feminists. No
women's rights for them...no reproductive freedom for them...not even the most
basic and scared of all human rights, the right to life!
Abortion has become the most sanctimonious sacrament of the
Left. Regardless of its form or timing, the left will accept no reasonable
compromise. “Absolute right to destroy human life for any reason and under any
circumstances!” seems to be the mantra hummed in every Planned Parenthood
abortion mill throughout the fruited plains. The incongruous and laughable
opposition of the Left to any type of government regulation or limitation on
abortion is supremely hypocritical since there is also an on-going effort by
these same folks to legislate federal funds to pay for abortions. The devious and perverse machinations of the
Obama Administration has gone so far as to try to force Catholic hospitals to
furnish “reproductive services” in direct violation of Catholic tenets of faith.
Many liberally educated individuals have a passing
familiarity with the Hippocratic
Oath. The oath in its pristine form forbade the doctor to induce or perform
abortions. That's right! More than 1,500
years ago, abortion even then was a societal no-no. My how civilization has
“progressed”. Today, many medical colleges and universities have eliminated the
once proud oath of all new physicians. The antiquated few who still make the
oath voluntary have modified it and many have eliminated the pledge to
perform no abortion.
Now we come to an accepted and legal practice in the United
States of America that would make the most ardent supporters of Josef Mengele
stand and applaud. Sadly, the gruesome ripping apart limb by limb in utero of
a viable and feeling baby during early and mid-term trimesters is not enough to satisfy the obsessive
demands of pro-choice proponents. A new and efficient way to destroy babies up
to the very moment of delivery, even in the ninth month, had to be developed.
Sadly, it was and is in practice throughout our country. It's technically known
as intact
dilation and extraction (IDX).
While the footnote reference specifically defines and explains the hideous
procedure in clinical terms, there is one update to note. The reference
maintains that as of 2008, the barbaric practice remains illegal in the United
States. That is no longer the case. It is now perfectly legal to force a full
term baby out of the birth canal with the exception of its head. The head
remains just inside the mother, thus the term “partial birth abortion”. The
physician then thrusts a sharpened probe into the base of the baby's skull. The
probe is connected to a powerful vacuum machine which literally begins to suck
the baby's brain out and thus flattens the infant's small cranium. The baby is
not administered any type of anesthesia during this hideous procedure. Once the
spasm of the dying infant ceases, the doctor simply pulls the baby out and
sends it off for medical research much like a dead lab monkey or pile of
medical waste material.
Liberal politicians, including our President, avidly and
unalterably support partial birth abortion. Conservative politicians with, few
exceptions, avoid the controversy in spineless fashion. Gallup polls indicate,
regretfully, that a majority of Americans support a woman's right to abort her
baby. Most Americans, however, also favor limits on the practice and have
strong opposition to the partial
birth procedure. I, for one, express extreme sadness that we have become so desensitized in this
country. There a very few individuals courageous enough to stand and fight for
the rights of the unborn. The Left, politically and in the media, have done a
masterful job of convincing most women that this is a health issue and
secondarily a rights issue. They are winning, or may have actually won, the
battle. What's next on the agenda?
There's the sticky issues of infants strong enough and determined enough
to survive botched abortions. Our President, when in the Illinois State Senate
voted to deny
person-hood to these babies. I can only imagine that the time will come, probably in our life time, when
person-hood will be reserved for babies older than 30 days. Parents will then
have a “trying out” period with the option of a full refund and return
privileges. What will happen to the unwanted babies then? Not to
worry....Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, et al already have some pretty radical
remedies for those discarded albeit living and breathing “blobs of flesh”. Just
don't ask what they are. It's better you didn't know (or care).
Respectfully,
Mr. Kettle
