Lake of Fire 2-Strings

Abortion documentary. Captures the ironies of the abortion debate…all of them. On the Left, intellectuals, on the Right, radical evangelicals and half-wits. This film seems balanced to liberals because it has the audacity to show abortions in progress and the byproduct of said abortions. When we quantize arguments of morality to skin cells and mosquitoes (Noam Chomsky) we depart from basic morality. Never mind that the argument is couched in the pre-9/11 days when “Christians” felt that it was their duty to bomb abortion clinics. If that’s your argument, fine, but don’t say that contemporary Chrisitans condone killing of doctors.

I’ve been going to church for damn near 40 years, and I’ve never heard a single pastor speak like the people I heard these guys speak.

I was once was at a discussion at Fresno Pacific University with C. Everett Coop. I asked him about what the church would do with the influx of unwanted children. I was told, and I quote, now is not the time and place for that discussion. We want the abortions to stop, but we won’t pick up the slack if we get them to stop.

I’d like to see a documentary about who pays for Planned Parenthood. I’d also like that doc to include a conversation about the woman who started it…she wanted to fund abortions in the inner city to limit the amount of children born in minority neighborhoods.

Look. I appreciate the reality of abortion, as well as its irony, but if you are a Pro Life republican, you’d better be against things like war and capital punishment. If you are a Pro choice democrat, you’d better be down with war and putting people to death who chose to kill others.

There are ironies on both sides.

Ultimately this is about how republicans are lame and democrats are not when it comes to abortion. Need proof? Lame Christians singing with their guitars and denim shirts, juxtaposed with an all girl topless, coat hanger in the vag (I’m not kidding) band.

Sorry Noam, there is a difference between mosquitoes and unborn children…and yes, I do appreciate the irony.

Discuss.
