This past week, in a shocking demonstration of the old saw “It
is better to keep ones mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than to
open ones mouth and remove all doubt”, Chelsea Clinton (looking more like a heavily
traveled dirt road in the rainy season than ever before) mad the comment “It
is not a disconnected fact … that American women entering the labor force from
1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. … The net,
new entrance of women — that is not disconnected from the fact that Roe became
the law of the land in January of 1973”.
Actually, that IS a disconnected
fact….or rather what a critical thinker would call “A fact with no bearing on
the issue”. Something like “The sun is a
star, and it is warm in the summer”. One
has no bearing on the other. And, since
you have to assume that Clinton was trumpeting abortion, given that she is
ignorant of the economy, we can only guess what the actual issue IS.
I am pretty sure she was doing a little fear mongering in
support of the lefts disapproval of Brett Kavenaugh as an associate justice of
the Supreme Court. You know, Kavenaugh
is single handedly going to end abortion.
Some of you may remember, it has been about two years ago,
when I expressed my belief that the government had NO business in the abortion
business, in planned parenthood…..nothing to do with it. And it certainly had no business being in the
business of creating the “right” to abortion out of thin air. I was IMMEDIATELY assailed by an opinionated
feminist who went off of the handle on EVERYTHING but finished up by stating
her belief that, since I was not a woman, I had no right to an OPINION on the
issue. The notion that, when applied to
her, THAT reasoning would eliminate the bulk of her opinions, was lost on her.
Liberal. Feminist.
BUT, since the left INSISTS of making the legal murder of
innocents a never ending debate of “rights”, as Chelsea has chosen to do, let
me address exactly why she remains an idiot, and should be an silent idiot.
There is plenty of evidence to suggest that what enabled
Roe v. Wade to become law can be credited to two real facts, not Chelsea
Clinton facts. The liberal court, which
had worked steadily to de-construct the Constitution and our culture for the
previous 20 years WANTED a law like Roe v. Wade. The other is that conservatives in this
nation didn’t entirely take it seriously that we wanted to enshrine murder as a
“right”, linking it to “choice” and the completely farcical notion of “health
care”. Eventually the conservatives
simply got tired of fighting a dedicated element that (accurately) saw abortion
as a position that the left could inextricably be woven into the left; much
like a growing social security network which the left refuses to address or
limit or change in anyway.
Americans were sold several wolf tickets by the
pro-abortion movers and shakers (and let’s just drop the façade of calling them
“pro-choice”….because the industry is in no way set up to talk women through a
choice process). One was that abortion
would limit the number of children born into poverty. Another was that abortion would ensure that
every child born would be ensured to be a WANTED child. One was that legal abortion would be better
for women who would no longer be forced into unhealthy “back alley abortion
mills”, risking their own health through unproven methods and un-sanitary
conditions. Yet another one, which seems
laughable today, is that abortion would not be used as a form of birth
control.
Yet, every one of those premises, every one of those, has
failed to stand up to reality, very similar to almost all other liberal
promises. Child poverty rates, children
born out of wedlock rates have SKYROCKETED since 1973. Health and sanitation improvements for all
surgeries, abortion included, owe those improvements not to a misguided Roe v.
Wade position, but anti-biotics that had been making large and steady
improvements since WWII (and even today, the occasional REAL abortion mill is
uncovered, one nightmare in Philly and another in-of all places-Kansas come to
mind). And as for abortion not being
used as a form of birth control….as of 1990, 63% of all women that had an
abortion, had already had at least ONE abortion. Not only is abortion the preferred method of
birth control, it has been elevated to an act of convenience for many.
Given that, abortion comes down to nothing more than a
legal option for a woman to terminate a life which identifiable AS a life a
long time before the stick turns blue from a womans’ urine.
Abortion was never, ever about the economy. So even if Chelseas’ comment DID make the
slightest bit of sense, she is making an argument for abortion that was NEVER
made at the time Roe v. Wade went in the books with Dredd Scott as the two worst,
politically driven legal decisions of our history. Not only that, and this should come as no
surprise, Chelsea and her mother are full of shit.
I have no idea what mental gymnastics would be required by
the left, to link the murder of 1.5 million (on average since 1973) babies per
year, to $3.5 trillion dollars in the economy.
Wouldn’t a correlation like that require putting a dollar value on the
head of each aborted baby? And if you do
that, assign a dollar value to each aborted baby, and link that to an increase
in economic growth………why would you not just go crazy, and abort enough to jack
that number up to $5 trillion? Better
yet, if unborn babies have a price, full grown adults (as long as they are not
death row convicts) must ALSO have a cost factor connected……could we get to $6
trillion by smacking a few of them? AND….while
we are at it…..how do you prove the negative that, by eliminating millions of
people from entering the work force, the economy was better off for that? Why is the opposite not true? Why would an additional 20 million workers,
or say 10 million females if we were being “correct”, not ADD to the economy?
I don’t see anyway Chelseas’ view makes sense…..on this or
any issue.
A final thought on this.
The pro-abortion crowd understand that their position is not tenable
under almost any circumstance. Sure, women
that are raped should have the option, but that is an infinitesimal number of
abortions annually. Babies diagnosed in
the womb as carrying horrifying birth deformities….their mothers should have
the option, again, there is no evidence that these situations account for any
significant number of abortions. So the
left has to do anything that they can do to change the language, the meaning of
words, in order to make the abortion sound like a good political POLICY
(because that is what it is).
But when that fails, the pro-abortion left just has to
admit that, they don’t care if, in the end, they are killing a living child….a
future Einstein, Lincoln, Washington, Watson or Frick, rocket scientist, the
person that stops poverty, or brings peace to the middle east (okay, I was
kidding with that last one). Like all
things, the left doesn’t care, as long as the left gets it their way. And that is the reason that Chelsea Clinton
should never be able to speak on a serious issue……she is wholly unprepared for
adult discussion.
The left needs to give it a break. Abortion is the law, no justice nominee has
ever tried to change the morally bankrupt law, the offspring of the lefts
radical individual liberalism……let a Constitutional judge take his seat. If the left wants to make a big deal over the
law that they enshrined….let them argue it among themselves.
But let the people be.
