In the left's twisted logic, abortion-promoters create a "culture of life"

My friend Robin, who still lives in Marin County and heads the Pregnancy Resource Center in the midst of a culture where parents buy kids BMWs and campaign against dress codes and abstinence education sent me a link this morning to one of the most twisted pieces of liberal logic I've ever read:

On the Anniversary of Roe vs. Wade
Creating a true 'culture of life'
- Lynn M. Paltrow

For the past 10 years, the term "culture of life" has been little more than window dressing for the hundreds of laws that limit access to abortion -- or advance the interests of fetuses, as if they existed separately from the pregnant women who carry them. The time has come to have a real conversation about what our country could be doing to support maternal, fetal and familial health, and to value motherhood and child rearing. . .

Our lawmakers pump an incredible amount of funding into pregnancy "crisis centers" whose primary purpose is to deter women from having abortions -- despite the fact that staff have been documented providing false and misleading information. [speaking of documentation, Ms. Paltrow, how about this documentation of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics aiding and abetting statutory rape?] At the same time, drug treatment programs for pregnant and parenting women in many parts of the United States lack the funding they need to stay open or to meet the pressing demands for their services. . .

What if our lawmakers swapped their priorities? What if they de-funded pregnancy crisis centers, whose only real purpose is to advance an ideological agenda, and acted to make drug treatment as readily available an option? If we come together, as a large, vocal and united constituency, we can advocate for policies that genuinely support maternal health and well being and create a true culture of life -- one that values the women who give that life.

I had to laugh at the line describing pregnancy resource centers thus: "whose only real purpose is to advance an ideological agenda."

When you have the audacity to claim you are creating a culture of life by defending the deaths of a million and a half babies per year, you must be driven by something way beyond an ideological agenda.

Abortion advocates are truly religious fanatics protecting their sacred rite (abortion), their sacred priests (abortionists) and their sacred grounds (abortion clinics) with logic-defying religious jargon and rhetoric.

I know. I was there as a founding mother of the Second Wave of Feminism, who fought for abortion rights and participated in the sacred rite of passage - my own abortion in 1977. Thank God I eventually found my way out of this cult-like mentality and began thinking like an authentic human being who once was a "fetus" herself.

I continue to wonder how if liberals are so protective of "the little guy" they are so hardhearted when it comes to those most vulnerable and in need of our protection?
