In Rare Moment Of Honesty, Democrats Finally Admit They Support Infanticide
2019-01-31
Usually humorous satire - But not this time
[Babylon Bee] U.S.‐ In a rare moment of honesty this week, Democrats finally just came right out and admitted that they actually support infanticide.

After a Virginia lawmaker made an utterly repulsive defense of abortion during birth and the state's governor calmly discussed the killing of an already-born child should the mother so choose, the nation at least had to admit that Democrats were finally being honest about something.

"Usually, we try to hide behind the 'pro-choice' label or spew a bunch of crap about the mother's health or something," Virginia governor Ralph Northam said. "But we're going to part ways with our usual deceitful methods and actually just be upfront about our position here: infanticide? We're totally cool with it. We're all about being pro-choice, no matter if we're talking about a baby that's in the womb or one that's already been born, patiently standing by to see if their mother decides they're a person."

The nation agreed that this approach is preferable to the usual doublespeak exhibited by Democrats on the abortion issue.

"It's kinda refreshing, to be honest," said one man in Florida. "At least now we know what we're getting with the Dems---before I couldn't tell if their support for abortion really had to do with women's rights or if they secretly wanted to kill babies."

"It's a nice change of pace," he added.

#3  Human Sacrifice - The act of killing one or more persons as part of a religious ritual, generally to appease the gods or spirits. (Medical Dictionary)

In fact, a number of dictionaries used that 'appease gods/spirits/diety(ies) line, so let's expand that line a bit.

Obviously, we don't want the gods mad at us. There are abundant stories of god(s) being cross with mortals. So appeasing the gods is to be in their favor, so that the gods grant us mortals a prosperous, or at least a non-pissed off god, future.

A woman finds she is pregnant, and finds the future somewhere between uncomfortable to impossible with a(nother) child. Child is sacrificed for a potentially better future. I use potentially because the future is the future until it happens. Always the chance the child is extraordinary, a millionaire at 20 and supporting the family. Alas, there are those whose desirous future is getting high instead of raising a child, even if guaranteed to be extraordinary; that perceived better future is very relative.

I personally can point to a situation where keeping the child would have been a disaster, and since she has become quite the success story. Still does not change the fact that the child had to be sacrificed so the rest of the family could have a chance. That's some Lifeboat shit right there, can't imagine making that decision and it was not come at lightly. It was done as early as possible.

I get the Lifeboat decision if the opportunity to improve is taken, yet immoral if the gal just goes back to same ol same ol lifestyle.

Purposefully gestating a human to, at the last second, have him or her chopped up and sold for parts is barbaric. Pure evil. Shit makes Apocolypto look like a kid's movie. Throwing a baby into a superheated bronze statue is disturbing. More disturbing is how clinical this is, all so tidy, with building lit and prepared congratulation made. Reminds me of the movie Conspiracy.

#2  Regardless of one's opinion of abortion, I find it disturbing that the dem's main beliefs hinge of death and infanticide.

#1  Thing is, I'm usually correct in picking out satire headlines.

Not this time; only by visiting BB and seeing the title there.

I think that is a 100 rounds at the range penalty.
