It's The Definition, Stupid


The Crackpots are cracking pots, again.

In another stunning example of the total, abject failure of our national educational system, we offer you Leslee Unruh, the executive director of a Have-the-baby-or-we'll-kill-you group that I won't do the favor of naming, which is the main proponent of a measure on the South Dakota ballot to outlaw ALL abortions, save rape, incest or danger to the health of the mother. Those factors are inserted in the bill this time around because it was voted down last time without them. Ever pragmatic, the crackpots are willing to take things a step at a time; they'll get the rape and incest and health requirements tossed down the line, once they've gotten South Dakotans used to there being no abortion, for all intents and purposes.

AP: Abortion Ban Returns to Ballot in South Dakota

This AP story alludes also to the chance of this measure later becoming the test case the Aryans have longed for to bring to the Supreme Court to go after Roe v. Wade.

The current measure on the ballot also would criminalize abortions for doctors.

But worse than criminalization is the demonization which would befall any woman who is uppity enough to antagonize the righteous and the "holy."

THIS is the totalitarian state 1984 once warned us of. The tyranny of the viewpoint of a few over that of the many.

Unruh has been a long-time leader in the draconian and racist push for white fertility. Populate every corner with white babies, they espouse, to out-breed those nigger, nigger hordes!

So, no abortions; no birth control. Abstinence only: not as a means of not having sex, mind you, but as a vile, cruel substitute for sex education and birth control, so that when you DO have sex, the odds are quantitatively higher that you'll get pregnant, which is when they can step in and force you to carry to term, whether you keep it or not. It's better if you don't, so that they can pass the child to families who have been cleared under their ideological umbrella. And for a lot of cash.

Basically, consider it an Aryan Race Baby Mill Scam.

Which is what it seems Madame Unruh has been in and out of court for.

But this is what makes these fools so dangerous:
Unruh: "What happened to 'doctor do no harm?' These are South Dakota's little citizens."

Nowhere in the AP story is there any opposition posed to that thesis. None. Just accepted in passing as legitimate, and on they write.

Yet again—there is an appropriate, perfectly viable other way of looking at this entire procreative arena:

IT'S TISSUE! It's like a pancreas. It's like a sphincter!

It's NOT "A LITTLE CITIZEN." That's spin, and nothing else.

When it leaves the womb and can sustain itself separately, then it'll be a citizen.

Until then, it's an organic part of the mother's body.

Madame Unruh and most Americans have entirely different philosophies and viewpoints about "When Life Begins." Every American is fully free to live his/her life the way he/she sees it in the context of their moral and spiritual persona. It's what the U.S. Constitution refers to as "The Separation of Church and State."

To cram any viewpoint down another's throat is tyranny.

Right now, Madame Unruh is doing the cramming. So, all of the forces of liberty and justice must be brought to bear in stopping her. What she is doing is Un-American. She spreads fear and doubt into the hearts and minds of young girls and women who find themselves in an untenable situation, leaving them open for abuse for personal and ideological gain. The crackpots in Unruh's army pillory those they oppose. They enlist the uneducated and ignorant to their cause, using them to attack and harass those who oppose the cause.

That's Terrorism.

You then, Madam Unruh, are a Terrorist.

Abortion is not a legal question. It is a moral question, forced into the legal and political arenas by people like Unruh. And as a moral question, each person individually must look to his/her own conscience to wrestle with such questions as when life begins, and what their difficult path should be and how their faith will guide them. That is what America was founded on.

The American experiment was not begun merely to give the likes of Leslee Unruh face time on FOX, or a seat of power or a bully pulpit to spew anti-American rantings.

As far as South Dakota is concerned, hopefully the women of South Dakota will declare the entire state effectively a NO-SEX Zone. If they are not to be allowed the benefit of deciding how to organize the lead-in to, or the aftermath of, sexual activity for themselves, then the easiest approach would be to tell the men of South Dakota to head to Montana or to Gotham City, if they want to get laid.

Imagine how much less pressure would be visited upon the high school- and college-age (i.e., prime breeding-age) women of South Dakota if they simply gave their horny beaux a map to the border, with a smile. How long until South Dakota's husbands start grousing about "that troublemaker," Unruh? How long, in terms of milliseconds, would it be until the male power structure of South Dakota rethinks its political support for Unruh's army?

And no, this wouldn't be Unruh's highly touted abstinence plan, which she fosters only because she knows it will fail. Her faith in biology tells her that, happily, abstinence is doomed to failure as long as there is a hormone left on this globe. Thankfully, she knows, those babies will keep right on churning out.

No, this would be rejection. Not of sex, but of you and your terrorist ilk, Madame Unruh. No birth control or abortion? Then, no sex; no sex, then no pregnancy; no pregnancies, then no baby mill; no baby mill, no Aryan Bund; no Aryan Bund, no seat of power for Leslee Unruh; no Leslee Unruh, no totalitarian movement.

Just a return to the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave, and the Birds and the Bees.

Please consider posting this video and the related link onto your website so it is made available to your visitors. We must do all that we can to preserve women's reproductive rights and let women know what's at risk this election.

Thanks so much!

Here's a calculator to help you get a clearer picture of just how you'd make out under Obama's tax plan, rather than just extending the Bush tax cuts which is all that McCain is proposing.
