A Horrible rethug "argument" against abortion in my local paper
This is the worst thing I have ever read.

I have to excerpt it because it wasn't online. It was written by Cathy Wells, guest columnist (I have never heard of her)

1)Argument: It is acceptable to abort a child who is the product of incest or rape.

(her)Logic: Innocent victims of crimes should be killed. Here we learn that anyone who is the innocent victim of a crime should be put to death, especially if that person's presence at the crime scene reminds another victim of said crime. One victim of a crime should be allowed to have another victim of a crime put to death.

2)A child who is the product of a rape or incest should be put to death because of the criminal actions of one of the parents.
Using this logic, we can see that any child of a criminal should fear for his life because he can legally be put to death because his parent did a bad thing. His presence might remind his parent's victim of the crime and traumatize the victim, so he can rightfully be put to death.

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ....I think this moonbat is looking to replace Ann Coulter. Her entire rant is 1/2 page of the newspaper.
I WILL be writing a letter to the editor on this one.
