Keep Talking

We at Birth Pangs are laffing our asses off at Ken Epp, the Reforma-Tories, the so-conned, etc etc on the demise of Bill C-484, aka The Kicking Abortion's Ass Bill.

But this, as they say, is gonna leave a mark.

The freakin' Editorial Board of the National Pest, main MSM stirrer of the C-484 pot, has also made a screeching 180. Under the title 'Conservatives choose clarity over compromise on Epps' Bill', it opines:

(Quick, swallow anything you have in your mouth.)

As Mr. Epp explains here, the bill is careful to define lawful abortions by willing women as non-criminal acts, and in explicitly taking away the possibility of the defence that a fetus is not a human being, it even acknowledges, in a sense, that it is not necessarily founded upon any unstated notion of fetal rights. The Conservative government could probably have defended and passed this bill on that basis, without making the public uncomfortable or in any way reviving the abortion debate. But it rightly prefers not to take chances conveying nuance to the Canadian public through the generally cockeyed instrument of the media.

Nuance . . . generally cockeyed instrument of the media . . .

The 'here' mentioned is another whining screed by Epp the Pest squandered a bunch of electrons on today.

The usual but then this money quote pointed out by Antonia Zerbisias in a thread Bread and Roses.

Ken tips his hand -- again:

The most recent opposition, sadly, comes from the Canadian Medical Association. I had hoped that Canada’s physicians would have continued to show their trademark compassion for victimized women and their preborn children by supporting Bill C-484.

Doctors are trained to save lives, including saving the life of a child not yet born if it is at risk. And the fact that any doctor would fight to save the life of a yet-to-be-born child (which happens routinely) simply demonstrates the instinctive understanding that there is a life there to save, in spite of it not being a “human being” in Canadian law.

Nope. Nuthin' to do with fetal rights there, right? Right?

As JJ says: 'Keep talking, douchebags'.

By the way, hop over to JJ's for the Pro-Choice Checklist Party. Then, join 900ft Jesus for a Dance on the grave of a Son of a Bitch.

W00t! But we're having fun here at Birth Pangs.
