Texas AG Candidate Barry Smitherman: End Abortion Now or Suffer Biblical Plagues

[TexasTowelie]

Barry Smitherman recently leapt off the political springboard that is the Texas Railroad Commission and dove into the attorney general's race. Heretofore, he has focused his campaign primarily on extolling the virtues of hydraulic fracturing, firearms and suing the Obama administration.

Yet Smitherman isn't just another Greg Abbott wannabe mindlessly mashing hot-button conservative issues. He also happens to be an expert on human reproduction, macroeconomic policy and the intersection -- nay, the complete overlap -- of the two. He proved this last week in a speech before the Texas Alliance for Life.

Smitherman's full remarks are available on his campaign website, but there are a few passages that bear highlighting:

America > China

Today in China, despite what you might hear of its economic progress and dynamism, the country faces a looming demographic calamity. Called the 4-2-1 Problem, there is often one child who, as a young adult, is increasingly responsible for the care of two parents and sometimes four grandparents. In addition, this only child, when he/she was young, is often referred to as "the little emperor." Spoiled beyond belief by his parents, and with no siblings to share toys, food or clothing, these children have developed, according to one Chinese source, "social problems and personality disorders, are over indulged, lack self discipline, and have little to no adaptive capabilities."...

It is always comforting to know that here in America; we are more enlightened than the Chinese.

1. The Measles outbreak is caused by abortion?

I would say that it could have been prevented by abortion.

Or perhaps it is a divinely imposed late term abortion as described by P. K. Dick.

2. Maybe one day this would be cause for involuntary committal

Whipping out the biblical plagues line is just pathetic.

3. We can only hope that god smites him with the plague he inflicted on the Philistines.
