What Dead Kids?
National Review ^ | 4/9/13 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 04/09/2013 9:58:39 PM PDT by SMCC1

So how many dead American babies does it take to make the news? I wrote two-and-a-half weeks ago about the U.S. media’s determination to ignore a story that’s inconvenient to their biases. But, given the gun-banners’ ceaseless grief-feasting on Sandy Hook, at some point doesn’t the corpse count in Philadelphia merit maybe, oh, a thousandth of the attention?

Dead and mistreated animals matters to PETA but dead and mistreated BABIES DO NOT..

My FETUS is a seventh month premmie birth baby now about 60 years old.
BUT I prefer calling her my sister.. wonder if she was still a baby at 6 months old.. or 5,4,3,2,1.?..

Does animal abuse bother you!... then what about babies..

"The MSM are cocaine sniffing bisexual scoundrels who work for Satan."

Hence the kindred feeling they have for The Usurper.

The U.S. media’s unanimous agreement to see no evil is sick and totalitarian.
Adam Smith predicted it. Or at least, he would have, if given as a hypothetical the wire services as they have existed since the middle of the 19th Century. The wire services (principally the AP, but all of them) constitute a continuous virtual meeting of all important journalism outlets.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (Book I, Ch 10)
The only thing that could be expected, therefore, is that the wire services would produce a conspiracy of journalists against the public. A conspiracy which aggressively slanders anyone who actually is important because they get things done, as a way to promote the illusory virtue and importance of journalists and like-minded complainers.

Unfortunately, the numbers in the millions of aborted babies, just like spending trillions of dollars we don’t have means nothing to the left. They don’t worry about math and numbers....if I still have checks in my checkbook, that means I can still write checks, right? Truly, this is the only way they see life. The overdrafts will come in all at once...that’s how they work for the rest of us, even if a mistake, and judgment WILL come, in spite of their refusal to believe in God.

There an 18-to-24-inch baby, who did not yet have eyes, was lying in a clear glass pan, she recalled in horror. It was “screeching, making this noise” that “sounded like a little alien,” she said. It “really freaked me out,” she said, causing her to leave the room.

Sorry it “freaked you out,” but as the Pundette comments:

“Making this noise” “like an alien”? That’s called crying. It’s what human babies do when they’re in distress, in this case, the ultimate distress.

Its hard to edita post with tears running down your cheeks. I am greiving, this breaks my heart.
