Some Democrats Break Ranks over Planned Parenthood Depravity
By Robert G. Yetman, Jr. Editor At Large
Kirsten Powers has been a high-profile Democrat mouthpiece for some time, and assumes a lot of positions with which I disagree. That said, I have always appreciated her pro-life position, something she re-declares with great passion in a recent op-ed piece entitled, ���I���ve got news for Democrats. It���s a baby!���
Throughout the piece, Powers exhibits a tenor of incredulity at the inability of Democrats, as a group, to see the baby body part-selling videos as being the barbaric things they truly are. While a staunch Democrat herself, Powers displays a palpable discomfort regarding not only the defense by her ideological brethren of what���s seen on the videos, but their stunning adoption of a persecution complex in the face of what is revealed.
The fact is that anyone who defends the PP position on really any basis is going to be left behind in the dust of public opinion. Curiously, but thankfully, against the tide of a broader national acceptance of increasingly ���progressive��� positions, abortion has been viewed with increasing disfavor among Americans. There are varying theories as to why this might be, but it could be as simple as the fact that if one truly cares about all living things���and particularly those that have been, historically, more disenfranchised���perhaps even the unborn are finally finding themselves the beneficiaries of such a renewed national empathy. Could it be that, as a people, we are coming to realize that there is nothing progressive about abortion, and that, in fact, it is one of the better examples of de-evolution within the species?
Whatever the reason, I���ll take victories where I can find them, and, like Kirsten Powers, as more of the dreadful video evidence of PP depravity continues to emerge, I will look with growing revulsion at anyone who can defend the organization after watching the wretched interactions playing out on these videos.
