John Stossel sums up something that should easy to understand.
Adam Smith wrote an obscure book about economics that explains why greed fuels innovation.
Former president George Bush gave his first speech since leaving the White House. It was in Calgary, Canada of all places. Bush always draws a cloud. He’s not even the president anymore but the fringe left still came out to protest. I guess intelligence is not required.
“He is a war criminal who fought an illegal war, and there are some who say he was never elected democratically, so there are some who say he should be arrested as soon as he comes here,” said a woman dressed as a Guantanamo Bay prisoner, who called herself Ivana Nomobush.
She had brought with her a makeshift “shoe cannon” that catapulted footwear, but complained that security personnel were not letting her use it.
So is Ivana Nomobush protesting on the behalf of “some” or for herself? According tho her logic aren’t we still fighting an illegal war? I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Miss Nomobush wouldn’t protest president Obama.
Evidently free speech is alive and well at York University in Toronto. The Canadians have had issues lately with liberal fascism. Mark Steyn is one example, and these on campus pro-abortion groups are another. Evidently they consider the Pro-life position as sexist in nature and that it shouldn’t be tolerated at all. They are trying to ban all groups on campus that have a pro-life position. That’s right, ban!
In response to a series of controversies over abortion debates on Canadian campuses, the student government of York University in Toronto has tabled an outright ban on student clubs that are opposed to abortion.
Gilary Massa, vice-president external of the York Federation of Students, said student clubs will be free to discuss abortion in student space, as long as they do it “within a pro-choice realm,” and that all clubs will be investigated to ensure compliance.
“You have to recognize that a woman has a choice over her own body,” Ms. Massa said. “We think that these pro-life, these anti-choice groups, they’re sexist in nature … The way that they speak about women who decide to have abortions is demoralizing. They call them murderers, all of them do … Is this an issue of free speech? No, this is an issue of women’s rights.”
How can this be a sexist issue when according to polls women are more pro-life than men? Are women being self sexist? I have never really understood the militant defense of the pro-abortion position. A majority of Americans agree that it’s a gruesome practice, especially partial birth abortion. Even many abortion supporters claim to be “pro-choice” not “pro-abortion.” That’s one of my favorite bumper stickers. I can understand a fairly ambivalent libertarian position on abortion rights, but the extreme defense on the Left is puzzling.
These women look super excited about infanticide.
The emotion of Pro-lifers is understandable considering they believe abortion is murder. Unfortunately, most of the time the debate is framed in such a way that being pro-life means debating someone who says “what about pregnancies from rape and incest.” Basically a gruesome hypothetical situation is the justification for 40 million people not having a chance to live. About 88% of abortions take place before the end of the first trimester. That means approximately 5 million have taken place in the second or third trimester. It’s difficult to believe that is a positive and acceptable development for society.
