Having ended its first week, earlier chapters of the [abortionist Kermit Gosnell] trial were much more charged. Those included gruesome and revolting descriptions of dead babies – oh, excuse me, I mean fetuses, not babies, not even the one that was seven months along [gestational age depicted in image, right] who could have walked Gosnell to the bus, he reportedly joked.
It’s nice to have fun on the job.
Jurors nearly sobbed when they learned that Gosnell reportedly cut the spinal cords of dozens of fetuses and babies, which means the state believes at least some survived birth, allowing Gosnell to be charged with murder.
It’s amazing that what separates human from nonhuman, baby from fetus, is the thickness of the wall of the mother’s belly.
Uh-oh. This is heading where maybe it shouldn’t.

I love this. Pro-lifers know that “pro-choice” is a lie, that it’s really a euphemism for pro-the-choice-to-kill-the-unborn or pro-abortion. This video exposes that perfectly.
The pre-eminent choice of pr-choicers is to be ignorant.
“Oh, well, that may be a contradiction, but humans are MADE UP of contradictions!”
LOL! Yeah, that and green cheese. Keep telling yourselves whatever you have to, I guess…
Would that they were only “pr” -choice. Unfortunately, they mean it.
The lady in the cowboy hat doesn’t even realize the irony of her words:
“Is it really a choice? You’re deciding to do something that’s not healthy for you”.
“People should make the choices that have good results”.
She didn’t even realize, she just made an argument AGAINST abortion…and she thought she was talking about soda consumption.
When the atheistic Marxist communist revolution came to Russia the destruction of Christianity and the breaking of the family unit were among their goals. Abortion was one of the “freedoms” that was allowed and it became widely practiced. Anarchists, revolutionaries, libertines and leftists appeal to human lusts, pride, envy. They put out an unceasing barrage of deceptive lies and propaganda and intimidation to win converts and eliminate opposition. But the freedom they promise is a false freedom. And in heart and mind and practice they are anti-choice totalitarians caught up in old pagan practices and political/cultural ideology that has historically failed. Sadly, the United States, and especially the Democrat party, has already gone far down this destructive road. I hope that by the grace of God and the efforts of a dedicated remnant of people and organizations that this pattern will be halted and that we will have spiritual, moral, cultural and political renewal in our nation.
I don’t think women over the age of 21 should be allowed to wear huge, atrocious black ribbon thingys in their hair. The woman in the video should be forced to donate her hair clip to a little girl on a dance squad.
If a woman is over 21, it is okay if she chooses to wear a white cowboy hat but she must be under 140 pounds to do so. The woman in the video wearing the cowboy hat should be required to jog everyday until she reaches this healthier weight.
The man in the “Come Out” black t-shirt should be forced to get his haircut and take a job replacing old light bulbs with the go-green types. Oh, and he’ll have to wear a yellow shirt that says “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.
Praxedes, that is the most ironically funny thing I’ve read in some time. Hahaha!
LOL…. Having little enough self-respect to be publicly irrational about your choices is the primary trait required to be liberal.
Hi Praxedes,
Great points.
If these liberals are so concerned about OUR health then by all means they should be glowing specimens of healthful living themselves. No liberal should be overweight or underweight. I also saw some not so healthy looking specimens in the background. Certainly they would advocate government intervention as to their exercise and eating habits as they don’t seem able to make very good choices in those areas of their lives.
Also, that fashion statement with the bow in her hair and that older obese woman in the background wearing polka stretch pants are obviously not able to make the correct fashion choices. With the exception of abortion, it seems all other choices people make can be mandated so why not fashion? I think gov’t mandated stylists would be a great idea. The American people can’t choose where to send their children to school, if they want to join a union, or even the size of their soft drink. We certainly can’t expect them to know how they should dress.
Right Mary. And if they can’t choose what size sift drink to get then how can they possibly be expected to make a decision about something as important as abortion without intervention on their behalf?
No one has used the word “Gotcha” better!

Ugh. Those people aren’t liberal!!! They are just pro-abortion. I wish he had asked them about legalizing marijuana!! That would have been a hoot. Sheesh.
Hi ts,
I’m glad we agree on this! If mature women don’t realize how ridiculous they look when they dress like schoolchildren or college girls, then its the gov’t's responsibility to step in and mandate proper fashion. Since we aren’t sexist,we should include men going through their midlife crisis.
Ever see how silly some of them can look and act? Definitely calls for gov’t intervention.
Perhaps Mayor Bloomberg would have some suggestions, but being he is so strongly pro choice, I can’t imagine him dictating choices of any kind to people.
I have noticed a large number of folks implying with bad jokes and anecdotes that Louisianna Cajuns ain’t smart.
I disagree with that assessment.
Anybody who would build a city five below sea level…. in a huricane zone…. and fill it with democRATs….who cain’t swim….is a darn genius.
Larry the cable guy
On the other hand one also has to question the judgement of republicant leaders who scheduled their national convention in a Gulf Coast city during huricane season.
Long before abortion was legal, I read an article about illegal abortions. Someone said, “I had the abortion because I couldn’t marry the father since he was my brother.”
That gave me a turn. However, I later wondered if she had really explained the abortion. Can’t any pregnant women marry SOMEONE? That man could be the “social father” to the baby. It seems likely that biological father and social father are often different men.
I think just about any reasonably attractive, pleasant, and domestically skilled young woman should be able to get someone to marry her regardless of who actually impregnated her.
Should the first thought of an unmarried pregnant woman be marriage?
That is just sad! They are FOR taking away sodas but they don’t care to kill babies???????? SERIOUSLY.

Legislate ALL THE CHOICES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the comments!!! Great video too btw!
I really believe Obama should appoint Stacey and Clinton as clothing czars. No more choice when it comes to fashion! We need mandated “citizen uniforms”!
The positions are: pro-legal abortion and anti-legal abortion. Not as catchy but correct titles.
“Pro-lifers know that “pro-choice” is a lie, that it’s really a euphemism for pro-the-choice-to-kill-the-unborn or pro-abortion.”
Notice that some say that in order to call yourself pro-life you must be against the death penalty, war and anything that causes death. Yet being pro-choice doesn’t mean supporting choices in any other areas. I’m beginning to see a double standard here.

(Denise) You would not need to have those other positions to be pro-outlawing abortion.
Hi Sydney M 9:53am
LOLLLLL. I can’t stress enough the traumatic impact of mature women in bikinis and polka dot stretch pants, not to mention hairbows, and mature men with socks and scandals and tank top undershirts. UGH!! Have you ever seen what the Hollywood elite actually wear in public? Its not like they can’t afford decent clothes and stylists…and mirrors.
Definitely need government mandated citizen uniforms. BTW, who’s Stacey?
You know what else is a lie? “Anti-choice”. Call me anti-abortion, I’ll own it. I am against ABORTION, not choices. I am against killing the unborn.
The “choice” euphemism is stupid. You want ABORTION to be legal? Say it! Own it! Don’t hide it behind “choice”! Or “reproductive freedom”. Or any other PC words. That easy peasy medical procedure you support has a name, and that name is ABORTION.
“You would not need to have those other positions to be pro-outlawing abortion.”
True, but a lot of our opponents bring those things up because a) they would rather debate anything other than abortion and b) they really don’t like referring to us by the term pro-life, so they will try anything to rationalize it into not applying to us.

(Denise) So why not use accurate terms describing the positions?
Pro-outlawed abortion.
Pro-legal abortion.
Cut the euphemisms.
Theresa,
A good friend of mine once said, “Mary, you don’t argue with an idiot. You laugh at idiots, you make fun of idiots, you let them make fools of themselves, but you don’t argue with one.”
I almost fell into that trap when I remembered his words of wisdom. However I must admit I’m shocked that you condone rape.
Hi Mary, are you familiar with “What Not to Wear” on TLC? Stacey ( I think that is how you spell it) and Clinton grab people off the street to tell them how horrible they look and what they need to do to dress better. Then they send them out with a $5000 Visa to shop for a new wardrobe. I truly think Stacey and Clinton would have had their work cut out for them at the DNC.

(Denise) I believe that Theresa has made shocking statements in the past in which she says hateful and demeaning things about human embryos and fetuses. Some of her statements have been extremely warped and she has fantasized committing all kinds of degrading outrages against human embryos and fetuses.
Her reviling of the unborn goes way beyond what is normal among those who believe abortion should be legal. It truly indicates a warped view.
Of course, many believe I am “warped.” However, I have never reveled in the degradation of doomed or dead human embryos and fetuses. That is truly warped.
Hi Sydney M
Thanks for the info. Yes I am familiar with that show. There was another one similiar to it which had family members and a stylist helping someone in dire need of fashion advise. I remember the stylists having difficulty keeping straight faces at times!
I agree Stacy and Clinton would have had their work cut out for them!
If you voted for Obama last time to prove you are not racist, don’t vote for him this time to prove you are not an idiot.
Evidence of souls devoid of the Spirit of God.
There are times when it is right to deprive a person of choices when his or her choices harm someone else. I myself did this once. I wrote a letter to the managers of my government subsidized apartment complex for disabled and elderly people.
A man at the complex didn’t clean himself or his clothing. He left a terrible stench around that had people gagging. After receiving my letter, the managers had what they needed to talk to the man about it. As a result, he cleaned up at least for awhile and people could walk by him without gagging.
I’m not ashamed of having done my part to end his choice to be filthy.
