New Stanek WND column: "Rosie's pro-life Haiku crockapoo"

Rosie O'Donnell has confounded me. She has taken a pro-life position, and it has ticked me off.
On May 1, the radical liberal (thinks 9-11 was an inside job) posted this Haiku crockapoo on her blog following the announcement by her conservative sparring partner on "The View," Elizabeth Hasselbeck, that she was pregnant:

on the view
u have seen my last hasselbeck spat
2 day was it
no more - its done
there is a new life
there - inside
and in the end
what else matters

Revering the miracle of pregnancy is great. Showing consideration, like giving a pregnant mother a seat on the bus, is also great.

But patronizing, no.

I cannot imagine anyone else in the public eye linguistically patting a pregnant mother on the tummy as O'Donnell did, saying, in so many words, "I have decided to no longer debate issues of the day with you for fear you might faint from overexcitement."

I could endure some of that, and having been pregnant over two years of my life, I have.

But not from O'Donnell. She's repulsively hypocritical on this issue, just as eager to toss a "new life" to human wolves if it suits her politically or personally.

Less than two weeks prior on "The View," O'Donnell defended the most disgusting procedure of them all (to date), partial-birth abortion....

How I wish Elizabeth had announced her pregnancy before this exchange....
