We're Evil! Get It?: Pro-abortion humor is lacking in irony
by Daniel Clark
San Diego abortionist Robert Santella decided to have some fun with a young protestor named Zephaniah Mel outside his clinic one day, so he walked up and breathed directly into Mel's face while growling demonically, with just inches between the two. "Stinky breath," he explained, while holding out a cup of coffee for Mel’s camera phone to see. Then, he reached out with a pair of scissors in his other hand, as if he were threatening to stab Mel in the neck with them. With Santella continuing to speak in a cartoonish demonic voice, the rest of the conversation went like this:
MEL: "Wow! That's what you do to babies, huh?"
SANTELLA: "Yeah, I love it!"
MEL: "You love it, huh."
SANTELLA: "Yeah, I do!"
MEL: "Okay. I hope that you come to Christ, sir."
SANTELLA: "Oh, I never go to Christ. No, I don't go to Christ. I don't listen to Christ."
MEL: "You will have a darkened heart, sir."
SANTELLA: "I do have a darkened heart. Yeah, I do very, very much so."
It’s apparent from Mel's reaction to the situation that he did not think Santella would actually stab him. This was clearly an example of what, from an abortionist's point-of-view, suffices for humor. If you don't find it funny, perhaps that’s because there's no punch line.
Santella spoke in a sarcastic tone, which would naturally lead one to believe he meant the exact opposite of what he was saying. To the contrary, we know that he was taking himself very literally. He really does kill babies in a violent manner as he pretended to do to Mel. Obviously, he truly doesn't listen to Christ, and he makes it very easy to believe he has a darkened heart. Even his confession to having stinky breath is eminently credible. The big joke, then, is that Sentella is exactly what pro-lifers accuse him of being, but that they’re powerless to do anything about it. Tee-hee.
You may recall a similar demonstration three years ago in Texas, where the legislature was debating those supposedly unduly burdensome abortion clinic regulations. Outside the state capitol, a woman was telling a crowd about the tragic results of her own abortion, when pro-abortion activists drowned her out with apparently spontaneous chants of "Hail Satan! Hail Satan!" That's a pretty curious outburst of faux sarcasm, considering that the woman had not accused them of Satanism. It was without provocation that they began praising the Prince of Darkness, angrily sticking out their tongues for the cameras, and making Tasmanian devil noises.
What they were protesting was a proposal to hold the clinics to the same health and safety standards as if they were legitimate medical facilities. These demonstrators were determined to maximize the frequency of abortion, even at the expense of the safety of the women they purported to represent. That's a morally indefensible position, so rather than defend it, they became defiant. Yes, they're evil, so what of it?
Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood clinic director who is now an active opponent of abortion, says that the people at her clinic had joked in much this same way. Johnson explains that the freezer where the fetal remains were stored was nicknamed "The Nursery" by clinic employees. She recalls that when a pro-life crisis pregnancy center moved in next door, they all (herself included) joked about welcoming their new neighbors by sending them a box of baby-shaped cookies covered with red icing. So, they were aware that the contents of the freezer were babies, whose killing they knew would upset those conservative Christian squares. Get it?
At pro-abortion demonstrations, you’ll often see people waving signs that say things like "Abort Sarah Palin," or "Abort George W. Bush" – slogans that unambiguously convey the activists' understanding that abortion is a fatal act of violence committed against a fellow human being. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
It is said that in order for comedy to succeed, it must contain an element of truth. It should be parenthetically added that truth only contributes to humor when it morally reinforces the joke-teller's point-of-view. If you are going to joke about the killing of babies, then the baby killers must be the objects of derision. If, on the other hand, your idea of comedy is to say, "Get me; I'm killing babies – bwwah-hah-hah-hah," you're not likely to find many people laughing along with you.
… Except, perhaps, for five current justices of the Supreme Court, that is.

Well, at long last the joke’s going to be on them.
I just love how the supreme court shot down the Texas law because it allegedly only served to impede a woman’s right to obtain an abortion. I wonder if they’ll feel the same way about laws that only serve to impede my right to obtain small arms. Ya know, since the constitution specifically says that my right to keep and bear small arms shall not be impeded.
Our SCOTUS is a pale comparison to previous, respectable Supreme Courts. What an embarrassment.
The Left not only wants dead babies, they want dead moms too.
I wish that a State would pass this simple law. “In this state, a fetus shall have the same rights as a dog.” Let them challenge that as an “undue burden.”
Hospital Drops Abortionist Involved in Demonic Rant as New Disciplinary Case Surfaces
[ SANTELLA: “Oh, I never go to Christ. No, I don’t go to Christ. I don’t listen to Christ.” ]
1 John 4:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Revelation 20:12-14 King James Version (KJV)
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
So true, God’s word is plain. Those who have not accepted Jesus Christ are rapidly running out of time.
Not just the SCROTUM, but the entire regime down to the lowest clerk who is “just following orders”.
