Unintended Consequences

The governor of Colorado recently signed a law that legalizes abortions at any point until birth. Theoretically, a woman in labor could have the baby aborted and this would be legal. I don’t see how that is anything but murder. However, that isn’t the point of this post. Here is a link to the law itself. (pdf warning)

The point here is that the law reads (in part):

A FERTILIZED EGG, EMBRYO, OR FETUS DOES NOT HAVE
INDEPENDENT OR DERIVATIVE RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THIS STATE.

So I wonder how long it will be before a case comes before the court where someone has injured a pregnant woman and caused the loss of her baby. Like the case of Heather Surovik.

Heather Surovik was eight months pregnant when a drunk driver struck her car on a summer afternoon on the outskirts of Denver. A 27-year-old preschool teacher at the time, she was expecting to give birth within days, in July 2012, to a boy she had named Brady. “I survived,” she said. “Brady did not.” To Surovik, that was a homicide. But not according to Colorado law. “I was told that because my son did not take a breath, he was not considered a person,” she said. “He was considered part of my injuries—a loss of a pregnancy.”

This resulted in Amendment 67 being placed on Colorado’s ballot in 2014. The measure was defeated. So in Colorado, anyone can kill an unborn baby. A person can stab, shoot, or run over a pregnant woman, causing the loss of her unborn child, and that loss will be considered an injury.

Even CNN thought that this unborn fetus was a child. CNN host Erin Burnett exclaimed: “That baby was 8 pounds, 2 ounces. He was going to be born in a couple of days. How could you not define that as a person? That is a viable life.” Showing that the left has no concept of cognitive dissonance, this same CNN anchor is in favor of abortion.

I guess this is what the women of Colorado want, although looking at the new law, they are not even women any longer, but are now “pregnant individuals.” The words female and woman do not appear in the new law, not even once.

Erasing History

First it was our founding fathers who were canceled. Then it was civil war figures. Now it is scientists being canceled for things they did more than 60 years ago.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

Lying Liars that Lie

Michael Woods, a special education teacher in Palm Beach County, said legislators and parents are looking for a “solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.”

“Teachers do not go out of their way to create these moments where we’re ‘indoctrinating’ students,” said Woods, who is gay. “If I could indoctrinate a student, it would be to bring a pencil and a piece of paper, and if I was really good at ‘indoctrinating,’ I would be able to get them to do their homework.”

Teachers not indoctrinating? You look at a picture of him in his classroom and tell me what you think he is doing…

Hate Crime

A New York lesbian couple is suing a fertility clinic because their child is a boy instead of a girl. They said of their son:

Heather said she could not bear touching him because it “sent electric shockwaves through me.” She said she also experienced “extreme anxiety” because when she looked at her son, he would “contort into the faces of all these grown men that I know.”

Then there are guns and camouflage.

People say, ‘Oh, he’s a boy, let him hit you,’ and all the camouflage and guns don’t help. It reinforces masculinity,

So how does she feel about her son?

She said she experienced “complex postpartum depression,” including “several incidences of suicidal ideation.”

If seeing her son makes her suicidal because he is a boy, that child needs to be removed from that household.

The Slap

I have seen so many people react with disgust because Will Smith slapped the shit out of Chris Rock. Smith did so because the joke Rock told was mocking a disability of Smith’s wife, and this wasn’t the first time he had done so.

Earlier this month, there was a case where a Dunkin employee punched customer, which resulted in the death of that customer. The worker delivered the deadly blow because the customer called him a “nigger.” The worker received a very lenient sentence of two years’ house arrest. He KILLED a man, but many people understood and condoned the attack because the man called him a name which anyone knows is highly offensive.

I agree. There are things that one person can say to another that simply BEG for a physical response. Each of us has a hot button issue. The one thing that someone can say to us that is worthy of delivering a knuckle sandwich. A man defending the honor of his wife falls in that category. If my wife were disabled and a man made fun of that disability after being warned, I certainly would feel obligated to defend her.
