Dems platform change on Abortion could cost them votes from Anti-abortion Democrats

This could be bad for Hillary and the Democrats:

A Democratic Party proposal to amend the party’s platform to include more progressive language around abortion rights has outraged Democrats who oppose abortion, with some saying the issue has cost Hillary Clinton their votes.

The fallout centers around a proposal to repeal long-standing legislation that limits federal funds for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or life-threatening pregnancies — the so-called Hyde Amendment. Some version of this ban has been included in annual federal spending bills since the late 1970s.

The draft platform says Democrats “will continue to stand up to Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood health centers” and “will continue to oppose — and seek to overturn — federal and state laws and policies that impede a woman’s access to abortion, including by repealing the Hyde Amendment.”

Kristen Day, executive director of Democrats for Life, said the progressive language on the platform is making the party smaller. “This platform’s language just says (to abortion opponents) you are no longer welcome,” she said. “This has been the general message pro-life Democrats are receiving across the country.”

Day said ever since the Democratic National Committee released its 2016 platform draft July 1, she has gotten calls from Democrats that oppose abortion and say the language is keeping them from voting for Clinton.

Carol Crossed, 72, a retired elementary school professor from Rochester, N.Y., is one of those Democrats.“

They are pro-choice because they don’t want to be infringing their opinion on others,” she said. “Now their platform says if you don’t like abortions, too bad — you are going to pay for it anyway.”  – Source: USA Today Anti-abortion Dems outraged by platform change

You have to understand something here; not all Democrats are pro-choice. There are some Christians, who are very devout to their Church. But, because of their background, they are committed Democrats. I know, I used to be one of those kind of people. So, I see where these people are coming from. I mean, these people are put into a very tough position; they are horrified by what the Republican Party is running for President. But, that the same time, they are also horrified at what the Democrats are doing with abortion.

This is what happens, when a political party goes very far to the left, of what it was founded as. The Democratic Party was not founded as a “Progressive Party” in the modern day sense. It was founded as a populist alternative to the Republican Party of old; which favored the businesses tycoons of old.

Needless to say, both political parties have changed greatly as whole. The Republican Party now has many factions; you have the movement grassroots faction, you have the elitist faction; it is a sight to behold. The Democrats, on the other hand; have become this “progressive socialist” party, that seems to be anti-white, anti-police and it is, quite frankly, unnerving to people like myself, who have a keen sense of history to watch a political party like that shift that far to the left.

The Democratic Party and it’s followers, have embraced a strain of progressivism that is intolerance of dissenting views and wishes to prosecute anyone who dares to disagree with them; either by discrediting them or by violence. This is nothing more than left-wing fascism. It is the hallmark traits of communism. I have always said, since about 2007; that the distance between the Democratic Party and the Communist Party and Communist themselves, used to be the width of the Grand Canyon. Now, with the infiltration of the progressive socialists in that political party; that distance is more like a small city block.

 

This is why I was never much into the entire In-Vitro fertilization thing

I hate to sound like an old curmudgeon; but sometimes, I just think that if you cannot have kids; you should just accept it as God’s will. This is a good reason:

The Story via LifeNews.com:

This story is so heartbreaking and so indicative of the complicated ethical web the fertility industry has spun. Gracie Crane is a UK teenage girl full of angst, but not the kind that troubles most teenagers. She was adopted as a “leftover” IVF embryo. Gracie keenly feels the loss of her genetic roots, but the law in the UK prevents her from ever knowing who her biological parents are. The pain is so acute, some days she says she wishes she were never born.

In-Vitro fertilization, in my humble opinion, is tampering with God’s will. This above is the fallout from that. It’s a sad tale; and one of millions, I would be willing bet. I am all for people having children; the natural way. Not by this method.

In defense of Erick Erickson

I know, I know, I am not supposed to support the guy; for some pretty darned good reasons. But, when he is right, he is right.

You know, broken clock right once a day and all that. 🙂 😉

In response to Greta Van Susteren‘s freak out over some of Erik’s tweets about Wendy Davis and Abortion, Erik wrote the following:

Greta Van Sustern wishes you to know I’m a creepy jerk. She does not know who I am and thinks no one should listen to me. I appreciate her letting someone she’s never heard of who she thinks should not be listened to live rent free in her head.

But I must sincerely thank her.

Wendy Davis believes it is perfectly acceptable to crack open a child’s skull, inject her cranium with saline, vacuum out her brains, then tear her limb from limb unstitching her from her mother’s womb even though a minute, an hour, a day, a week, or a month later she could survive outside the womb. Wendy Davis has staked her career on the right to chop a child to bits, no matter how viable the child is. The media prefers to ignore that to which Wendy Davis staked her career. They’d prefer to focus on her, as Vogue described her, “Barbie looks” and pink sneakers.

In Greta’s diatribe against me, she only used the word “Abortion” once and that was noting me calling Wendy Davis “Abortion Barbie.”

In fact, I appreciate Greta focusing on my tweets and find it instructive she chose specifically to not make it about Wendy Davis. Wendy Davis is a one issue wonder heralded by the press because she is a high priestess of the secular religion’s sacred sacrament — slaughtering children on the altar of Moloch. That Greta Van Susteren is offended by me, thinks me creepy and a jerk, and thinks I should not be listened to is of no harm or consequence to me.

I applaud her willingness to give greater exposure to my tweets because it causes more people to dig into Wendy Davis. And the more they dig the more they find her only issue is abortion. Single issue candidates whose only issue is abortion do not do well.

Spending all this time and energy making it about me, not only reinforces Wendy Davis’s single issue, but distracts the Democrats from the negative attacks they’ll eventually launch, too late, on her Republican opponent.

I have helped define Wendy Davis by a moniker that sticks, describes, and makes her the butt of jokes, while drawing out the shrill hysterics of her supporters. And there’d be more supporters of hers except for her and her supporters declaring open season on people under 40 weeks of age.

Thank you Greta for putting this issue in the spotlight. I will never win the admiration of affection of the secular set, kid killers, and their supporters — and abortion is killing children. If I was getting praise from them, I’d have to reconsider my priorities. There will always be those who stand with Wendy. But there will be plenty, in the din of campaign rhetoric, who hear “Abortion Barbie” and dig into caricature to find the terribly truth of a one note media created wonder. That someone is offended by me, thinks me creepy, or thinks me a jerk is fine with me as it continues to force them to talk about Wendy Davis, defender of the right to tear children apart.

And if you don’t believe me, I would encourage Greta and others to read the comments to her post.

Thank you Greta very much for writing this post and shedding more light on Wendy Davis by making her campaign about me. I do sincerely appreciate the exposure that it might, even indirectly, expose the Cult of Death’s latest champion.

Put me down as someone who happens to agree with all the above. I might not be a huge fan of Erikson. He can be a bit of a jerk, like me. But, when the man is right, he is right. Abortion is a barbaric practice and should be outlawed — on the STATE LEVEL! The quicker, the better if you ask me.

Oregon Teacher fired for opposing planned parenthood

This is another sign that the totalitarian left does not tolerate any other sort of worldview, other than their own, of course.

The Story via The Christian Post:

A teacher in Oregon was fired over openly opposing the construction of a Planned Parenthood facility, alleges a California-based pro-life legal organization.

The Life Legal Defense Foundation of Napa has stated that Bill Diss was wrongfully fired from his teaching position by Portland Public Schools on Monday.

Rebekah Millard, staff counsel with the Foundation, told The Christian Post about how her organization became involved in the matter.

“Mr. Diss requested our assistance several months ago. He was fired Monday, Dec. 16, following a vote by the Portland Public Schools Board; however, he had been on paid leave since March,” said Millard.

“We are currently in discussions with Mr. Diss and are considering legal options, but cannot discuss what those may be at this point.”

According to the foundation’s website, Diss was a critic of Planned Parenthood’s construction of a new facility in downtown Portland. His efforts were done outside of the classroom.

More info is at the Life Legal Defense Fund website:

Portland, Oregon: On Monday, December 16, 2013 the school board for the Portland Public School District voted to terminate the teaching contract of Bill Diss, a teacher who has been an outspoken opponent of Planned Parenthood. Mr. Diss experienced censure in his teaching career beginning in 2007 when he publicly opposed the building of a new Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in downtown Portland. The current action follows Mr. Diss’ opposition to being forced to facilitate presenters from the Teen Outreach Program (TOP), a program administered by Planned Parenthood, coming into his tutorial session to recruit students.

“Bill Diss is a well qualified teacher with a track record of success,” states Dana Cody, President and Executive Director of Life Legal Defense Foundation. “As the circumstances surrounding this termination demonstrate, Mr. Diss has done nothing that would merit being fired from his job. LLDF will pursue every possible avenue in defending Mr. Diss’ rights in this matter, and hopes to see his rights ultimately protected despite PPS’ actions.”

I would suggest you head on over and read the rest of that, including the background of the situation. It looks like to me here, that this School district is just trying to fire a man for his beliefs. Which is totally wrong. Here is hoping he sues the living snot out of them and gets a good settlement.

Justice: Black thug criminal abortionist Dr. Joseph Booker Jr. found dead

Couldn’t have happened to a better person, if you ask me. 😡

Via LifeSiteNews:

MADISON, MS, November 25, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Authorities say an abortionist with a history of tax evasion, botched abortions, and unusual disposal of aborted babies has died.

Police found the body of Dr. Joseph Booker Jr., 69, at his home Thursday night after relatives complained they could not reach him. Investigators said Booker suffered a stroke and drowned in his shower in his Madison, Mississippi, home.

Tanya Britten of Pro-Life Mississippi said, “From a Christian perspective, I pray that he repented on the lives that he has taken, and that God is merciful,”

In 1999, Booker served time in prison for tax evasion. Later in the year, police learned that a local resident discovered 36 bags of aborted babies in a storage unit he purchased from Booker in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The new owner said Booker stowed the babies there shortly before going to prison.

For years, Booker performed abortions at Jackson Women’s Health Organization (JWHO), the last abortion facility in the state.

In 2003, he botched an abortion that left Daschica Thomas in a coma, after she had to receive blood transfusions and contracted a blood infection.

She and her husband filed suit against Booker in 2005, claiming he abruptly stopped in the middle of an abortion and did not administer antibiotics. Thomas, who is diabetic, ultimately won a $600,000 settlement against Booker.

I say justice in the headline, because the Bible says the following:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:7-8 KJV)

Again, it couldn’t not have happened to better person. The man killed babies; and is now in hell. Good place for him. One down and many more to go.

Another good reason why I’m pro-life

This comes via lifenews.com:

Imitation continues to the be the sincerest form of flattery. Unable to cope with the positive effects of the 40 Days for Life prayer campaign — the closing of abortion centers, conversion of abortion clinic staff to the pro-life perspective, and reduction in abortions — they’re using sacrilegious prayers and fake websites to mock the campaign.

Abortion activists have put up a fake 40 Days for Tacos web site and have manipulated pictures the 40 Days for Life campaign has posted of pro-life advocates across the country by modifying their pictures with fake images of tacos and the mocking slogan “Pray to End Starvation

See this is why I don’t like the pro abortion crowd. Not only are they a bunch of barbaric child murdering fools, but not one of them has an original thought.

The abortionists cannot counter the argument the life is precious, and that the life of an unborn child should be protected and that what they do is barbaric murder;  so they resort to mockery.

Its just a textbook example of the fact that the anti Christian left is intellectually bankrupt and they have lost the argument on the subject of abortion. Americans are realizing that abortion is just not a valid solution any longer.

This here is just a textbook example of how the pro-life crowd has won the argument about human life at conception.

LifeNews.com calls it flattery, I prefer the term desperate flailing.
