At Politico, Rich Lowry offers a great critique on pro-aborts and their studied avoidance of the word “abortion”. He writes:
President Barack Obama was proud to become the first sitting president to address Planned Parenthood last Friday. But not proud enough to utter the word “abortion.”
The right to abortion is the sneakiest, most shame-faced of all American rights. Its most devoted supporters don’t dare speak its name. They hide behind evasion and euphemism and cant.
Whenever possible pro-abortion “leaders” will talk about “reproductive choice/health/rights”, but rarely talk about abortion and never talk about baby-killing. The further away from the truth they stand, the better they like it.
If abortion is so great, why is Obama ashamed of it? As Mr. Lowry explains:
The National Rifle Association doesn’t get defensive when it is pointed out that it protects the right to bear arms which allows people to buy guns. Charlton Heston, in the famous photo-op, didn’t hesitate to lift a musket over his head.
Yes, why didn’t Obama, at the PP gala, hold up an aborted 10 week fetus above his head and challenge us, “from my cold dead hands”?
