This Babylon Bee article probably takes its initial inspiration from The Fugitive where one US Marshal asks another, “If they can dye the river green one day a year, why can’t they dye it blue the rest of the year?”. Of course, such an initiative would be reserved for special occasions. The text does seem a bit harsh, but other inspirations would come from news such as H.R. 26: Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and Baby Harriet’s body was found in medical waste. Police deny there was any wrongdoing.

By a 220-210 margin, the House of Representatives on passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, with only one Democrat voting in favor. So, with only one exception these legislators establish a line for defense of abortion within their Democrat Party that includes those born alive despite attempted abortion.

According to the logic for voting against this bill, an infant breathing air on its own is not a human person. Medical personnel are not only not derelict in failing to provide care, but instead must murder the baby. For Democrats abortion then becomes an unbounded sacrament.Now read the bill and see if that is not the most reasonable interpretation.

The article about Baby Harriet reminds me of when twins were born to my older son and his wife. When my son took his baby daughter home, she was so tiny that her head and shoulders fit inside his hand. The pregnancy essentially ended because the daughter had decided her twin brother was hogging all the food and all the space in the womb. She is nine years old now, but then she did not seem much different in size from Baby Harriet as photographed for the article.

The sign pro-choice advocates carry saying, “My Body My Decision” could have expressed the sentiment of Baby Harriet if she had not been thrown out with the other medical waste. By the way, I find looking at the picture in the article to be disturbing.

She ended up whole in the garbage. I wonder though how others are disposed of? A few years back, Marion County Oregon commissioners ruled not to accept fetal material for burning in their incinerator. The ruling was made despite protests that before viability removing the fetus was equivalent to removing any other harmful matter from the human body. Kenneth Scott Latourette in his histories of Christianity says the Romans dealt with the unwanted through the “exposure of infants”. Where Christianity took hold, the practice disappeared.

When I first saw the title, I though it was for real.

By the way, I find looking at the picture in the article to be disturbing.

It hearkens to the scene in The Ten Commandments where Aaron uses Moses’ staff to turn the Nile red.

The only Bee bit I can remember that didn’t make me chuckle at least a little. Too close to the awful truth. The irony is so thick you couldn’t cut it with a knife.

Don’t give them ideas.
