The ACLU has filed suit alleging that an Arizona law that bars sex-selective and race-based abortions is racist. The suit was filed on behalf of the NAACP and the National Asian-Pacific American Women’s Forum.
Alexa Kolbi-Molinas of the ACLU insisted that “this law has a racially disparate effect as its intent. African-Americans are nearly four times as likely to opt for abortion as the end point of a pregnancy compared to whites. Consequently, the Arizona law has a chilling impact on what should be a freely taken choice.”
“The barrier to sex-selective abortions introduces a culturally insensitive affront to persons of Asian descent,” Kolbi-Molinas asserted. “In these cultures a male child is valued more highly than a female child. Seeking to block women from terminating a low-valued pregnancy would, in effect, impose a costly unwanted burden in order to mandate adherence to a largely white ideal of equality between the sexes.”
Rep. Steve Montenegro (R-Litchfield Park), sponsor of the law in its course through the Arizona Legislature, maintains that the new lawsuit against the law “reconfirms the necessity for it. The desire of a mother to abort her baby because of its race or sex is barbaric. Whether this barbarism stems from cultural pressures or individual cruelty we owe it to the innocent victims to try to deter such crimes.”

Your satire ridicules beautifully.
I don't think I've seen a more chilling statement in a long time. The Left has given up all pretenses and is now flat out saying that if you want an abortion because you don't want a girl, its OK and your right.
I see its satire, my mistake, but its not far from the truth.
You write articles in the fantasy world of
“leftists telling the truth about what they believe”.
Very well, by the way.
The thing about these satire posts is that you’re just exposing liberal PR for the lie it is, and how even satire fails to adequately describe how evil liberals are. Liberals would take the words of Kolbi-Molinas literally, and actually believe in a world where abortion is a ritual to their government gods, and where conservatives would be forced to get abortions. (The hyphenated name is a nice touch.)
Everyone should understand that “Racist” like all other pejoratives is simply a leftist word that means “unapproved,” nothing more and nothing less. It applies to anything at all that is unapproved by the Left. The particular epithet chosen for use is determined solely on what word elicits the greatest opprobrium from “the masses.”
