Progressives support no limitations

Mark Caserta: Free State Patriot Editor

Do liberals support any limits on taking the life of an unborn baby?

A recent attempt by an Associated Press reporter to corner Rand Paul on his stance on abortion triggered a much-needed firestorm around the issue.

While giving a press conference in New Hampshire last week, Senator Paul was asked to state definitively which exceptions to a ban on abortion he would support. Paul was quick to turn the table on the reporter.

“You go back and you ask (U.S. Rep.) Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she’s okay with killing a seven-pound baby that is just not yet born yet. Ask her when life begins, and you ask Debbie when she’s willing to protect life,” he said. “When you get an answer from Debbie, come back to me.”

Little Debbie, D-Fla., didn’t like being called out, so the congresswoman was quick to respond.

“Here’s an answer,” she said in an emailed statement. “I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved. Period. End of story. Now your turn, Senator Paul.”

So, let me see if I understand the progressive position on the question of abortion.

So in the third trimester, when a baby could be around 6 or 7 pounds and viably be birthed, is it permissible to inject a lethal dose of Digoxin into the heart to give the baby a fatal heart attack? Is that the accepted position of liberal Democrats?

What about a partial birth abortion, where the baby is birthed feet first, but just before the head emerges from the cervix, the abortionist punctures the base of the baby’s skull with a pair of surgical scissors and suctions the baby’s brain with a powerful suction machine?

What about live birth abortion, where a baby is “accidentally” born due to a botched abortion and refused medical attention so it will die as planned? Is that type of murder acceptable to liberals?

Which one of you would be first to insert the needle into the baby’s heart, taking its life? Which one of you would be first to puncture the base of the skull? Which one of you would stand idly by as a baby lay crying for attention and allow it to die a slow and agonizing death?

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and all of uncleanness,” Matthew 23:27.

I submit there is no greater sin against humanity than to take the life of the most frail and innocent among us.

Every mother has felt the movement of the baby while in her womb. Modern technology now enables the child to be seen in 4D, just as they would appear lying in their crib, cooing and babbling with life.

Yet, murdering the unborn continues to be the “Holy Grail” of liberalism.

It’s time to end this modern day holocaust. It’s time for progressives to stop lobbying for lawful infanticide.

It’s time to return to Godly, conservative values.
