Isn't English a wonderful language? Someone on the other side of that
issue might have said "his work to defend legal and safe abortions
instead
of coat hangers" to describe the very same actions :-).
It seems there's red English and blue English.
Not to mention real English from across the pond :-).
And anyway, infanticide is the killing of infants or newborn children.
Abortion is abortion. Sometimes I find myself making excuses for Mark,
Tim, and a few others that are a small part of my life. They live
lives in the area between "quiet desperation" (HDT) and "fear and
trembling" (SK). To them, the Zen of any situation must be smothered
in verbiage slanted to prove their point.
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by
itself. Think.

I hope you find great peace knowing that your favored candidate thinks
that letting babies that survived and abortion attempt die alone in
a closet isn't much of an issue.
My, my, you guys are getting desperate. (Pssst.. did you know he's
shhhh... black??? shhhhh)
Oh, another dem talking point. If all else fails, play the race card --
that'll shame and shut up the opposition.
Guess what, none of us give a rip about the color of his skin, it's the
content of his [nonexistant] character.
Walter E Williams? Black. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat
JC Watts? Ditto
Michael Steele? Ditto
So you see, you racist left-wing liberal -- those of us on the right
aren't racist, we look beyond skin color to what the person is advocating.
Unlike those of you on the left for whom it appears that race and/or gender
association are the sole qualifications. Unless of course, they are
conservative, then they are "sell-outs" and not really black.
As (apparently) the lone libertarian here, I'll just add this: Racism,
in any of its forms, is just another kind of collectivism. It reduces
ideas, discussion, and human interaction to a debate about how we see
*groups*. I object ethically to racism because it debases human beings
and denies them their natural rights. I object politically to racism
because it promotes the notion that what really matters is group
identity and suppresses - by force - the genius of the individual.
And ... it's corrosive. Notice the fulmination and personal attack
that followed my revealing I have - gasp - a black family member. "It
can't be so", "He/She must be horrified to be in the same family" and
so on. The collectivists always hate it when they are exposed for what
they are, the villagers with the torches, bent on suppressing any
contrary views and punishing anyone who dares to object to their
oppressive and evil ideas.
