So, what was so disturbing about the Ireland abortion
referendum. Well it was not the result. As a male member of our species I care
little for the outcome. In fact I don’t know why men even bothered to vote in
what is really a female issue. Most species kill. As part of the family of species
on the planet we do our fair share of killing. Some of it we rightly scorn and sometimes
we punish the perpetrators. Some of it (killing) is illegal one day which then
becomes lawful the next. Like the Irish abortion referendum. That’s our choice.
We decide what killing is lawful and what is not.
What is disturbing about the Dublin victory celebrating transforming
the once illegal killing of un-born babies into the lawful killing of un-born
babies is…..
First, how the victorious turned their attention to
calling for the imposition of the lawful killing of un-born babies in the North
of Ireland. Technically a region within a foreign and sovereign country – the UK.
Would the Irish like to be told by a foreign country who to kill and who not to
kill?
Not a big deal really, as that will be a decision for the
people of Northern Ireland and none else.
What is more disturbing is the changing nature of what
abortion is being called. From the illegal killing of un-born babies to the
lawful killing of unborn babies it now becomes the termination of something. The
unborn are now a something and quite possibly they can then become a
nothing. From what was once regarded as
murder, today’s attitudes have transformed this once murder charge action into “The lawful
termination of a nothing.”
Now, where does this attitude fit in with exterminating Jewish Untermensch,
lynching US niggers, genocide against snobby African Tutsis, urban Cambodian
dwellers and their stupid intellectuals and so on for the rest of the sub-humans.
Shock horror! How can one talk like this! It is disgusting.
And yes, it is disgusting to talk such degrading language, but so is calling
killing the un-born “The lawful termination of a nothing.”
