Democrats on wrong side of history when it comes to Planned Parenthood's crimes against innocent unborn.Democrats like to talk about the importance of being on the right side of history. This phrase was invoked frequently during the same-sex marriage debate. Yet when faced with a series of videos detailing grotesque human rights abuses against unborn children by Planned Parenthood Federation of America doctors, Democratic Party forces have eschewed all concern for historical or moral rightness.
Pope Francis has correctly described the unborn as the most defenseless and innocent among us. But in the sordid tale of strategic crushing of the unborn to better harvest their hearts, lungs and livers, many Democrats have incredibly cast an organization with a roughly $1.3 billion annual budget in the role of the innocent and defenseless. Hillary Clinton emerged as Planned Parenthoods highest profile protector Monday, decrying the assault against her allegedly helpless campaign donors.
The Democratic Party shilling for barbarism whether by politicians, liberal media outlets, union officials or unrestricted abortion advocates is not likely to be viewed favorably by future generations. These Democrats will be remembered for demonizing the activists who lifted the veil on a previously sanitized process and for seeking restraining orders to silence truth tellers. They will be remembered for publishing dehumanizing decrees as The New Republic did that people stop criticizing Planned Parenthood because as a medical matter, The term baby doesnt apply until birth (that thing on your sonogram is nothing more than a product[] of conception.) And they will be remembered for demanding investigations into citizen journalists for meticulously exposing atrocities in our midst.
I dont use the word atrocity lightly.

(6,476 posts)Is the author questionable in some way?
I happen to think it's a real mistake to not have more debates as soon as possible and I don't like to hear dems talk about a womans choice in this manner. Women need to have free choice without shame or explanation and that seems to be bothering some people who consider themselves democrats. Yes?

(53,003 posts)that people are all too comfortable using right-wing media when it suits their purposes. That article is not about what you happen to think about the debates. It's yet another RW hit job.
