This slhoud put an end to the myth that some of us have known to be a lie for a long time…..the myth that there are pro-life Democrats.

Don: Ah, your soothing words of liberal troolish wisdom hath comforted me marvelous much! These deals are different, and this bill is different, and this process is different, and what's more you know it.

People, this is how Congress has worked since the beginning of time. People want their party’s bill passed but cannot afford to vote for it, so deals are made. This is not a sign of the times. It is how our republic works.

Neo, I think you touch on a very important cultural point. There is a growing willingness for people to allow terrible things to happen as long as they personally can display clean hands. It is much more common on the left, but I have read too many activists on the right trying that on as well. Think of the “not in our name” campaigns, and the willingness of the left to distance themselves from America when speaking to the world.

The health faddist’s obsession with toxins seems related, as does the green focus on purity.

It seems an odd twist on a concept of sin that is not-quite-Christian. Certainly we have used the image of a stain on one’s soul for many centuries, and many groups practice a general removal from the world to avoid its contamination, but we ultimately have the example of Pilate washing his hands to remind us that this is not the whole picture of morality. It seems rather pagan, actually.

If he’s really so weary from the attacks, why go on Hardball on MSNBC tonight and draw more fire?

Abortion is needed or else there will be too many people for them to pay for… someone in the admin actually said something to that effect. so Sanger’s original reason is why we have it, not any of the other things that they say to sell it, normalize it and make it acceptable.

If HCR passes, for the first time in history, we will have public financing of abortions. Tax payer funded abortion.
