What Ebola and abortion have in common
by Carder
What do abortion and Ebola have in common (aside from making [Texas Department of Health Commissioner] David Lakey’s life miserable this week)?
Both the new restrictions on abortion facilities in Texas and the government intervention to manage the Ebola threat are potent reminders of why expectations that our lawmakers and leaders will protect public health and safety should always be matched with a healthy dose of skepticism….
Perhaps ironically, this is one point on which people from the extreme left and the extreme right can agree.
At the end of this week, you are still more likely to get an abortion in Texas than you are to get quarantined in Texas. Some people on the left think that the state is dangerous when it limits abortions. Some people on the right think that the state is most dangerous when it seizes power during public health threats. Both sides are a little bit crazy. Yet, both sides are right to question government action. If nothing else emerges from a really bad week in Texas, a healthy shared skepticism may be the best result there is.

So is the website named after the fact that they want abortion clinics to operate above the law?
This is not “apples and oranges.”
The voters of Texas finally persuaded their legislators to take some long-overdue action against the unregulated abortion industry. This is democracy…. this is how we come together to serve the common good.
Meanwhile there are threats to democracy. There are people who panic in the face of an “emergency.” Those who are invested in abortion — they panicked. Those who fear an outbreak of ebola — they panicked. They want to overrule the discipline of democracy in order to achieve their goals.
To their credit, the pro-borts and the disease controllers believe that they are also serving the public good. But Tamara Tabo is right: We need to keep an eye on the bosses and judges and bureaucrats — the elitists who can take away our democracy.
