The ‘Wait, What?!’ of the Week, January 8th, 2015

Recently the U.S. Congress passed a bill which would defund Planned Parenthood. (Soon after, of course, President Obama vetoed the bill.) During the debate over the bill, Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee said this from the House floor: “We just came through Hanukkah and Christmas, and we ought to think a little bit about what Hanukkah and Christmas were about and what Moses and Jesus would be about. I think they would be about saving lives and about giving everybody an opportunity to live.”

Rep. Cohen made these comments in defense of Planned Parenthood. He argued that taxpayer money should continue to be given to Planned Parenthood.

Wait. What?! He LIKES Planned Parenthood?! He actually used the phrases “saving lives” and “giving everybody an opportunity to live” in connection with the nation’s largest chain of abortion mills? Seriously?!

Not surprisingly, Rep. Cohen is a Democrat, and not surprisingly, just like the rest of his party, he supports abortion-on-demand so passionately that he's completely oblivious to the utter foolishness of his words. He does not comprehend the macabre irony in saying that Planned Parenthood must be funded because it gives “everybody an opportunity to live.” Yeah, everybody except the child being dismembered inside the P.P. clinic.

To Cohen and his fellow ideologues, it doesn’t matter if countless infants are killed each year; it doesn’t matter if Planned Parenthood callously sells baby body parts; it doesn’t matter that the founder of the organization was a racist who endorsed the Nazi’s eugenic efforts. All that matters is keeping the secular sacrament of abortion legal.

I’m reminded of the words of the prophet Isaiah: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil” (Is 5:20). 

If God doesn’t chastise our sinful nation soon, then He really owes Sodom and Gomorrah a big apology.

  1. It also doesn't matter if we ruin girls lives because they made a mistake brought on by society feeding them and males lies about sexuality, or say, if she was raped, or even if she just is not ready or wanting of a kid, or if it cuts into her job or school, nah, let's worry about an unborn being who is not even alive when abortions are made; the only time babies might -feel- the abortion is if something goes wrong, in which it endangers one or both members involved, in which they see it as a sweet release from danger and going back to safety. Are they human? Species wise, unless we doing some bestiality in here, yes. Are they sentient and matter yet? No, not really. I'm pro choice, because a woman should have the ability to choose how her body is doing, making sure things are going how they want it.

    1. Oh, and unless you are sexually independant, that's not the face of God, it is the face of God's great-great-etc grandchild
