MSNBC's Grotesque Partial-Birth Analogy: Issues 'Sucked Life' Out of GOP

When Republican strategist Michelle Laxalt tried to describe the clinical reality of partial-birth abortion on MSNBC this morning at about 10:55 AM EDT, MSNBC host Chris Jansing [file photo] cut her off, saying she didn't want to get into an "emotional debate." By all means. Let's not confuse people with the facts. Better to focus on the antiseptic "right to choose" without letting the gruesome reality of the matter intrude.

In partial birth birth abortion, the near-term baby's skull is collapsed and its brains are sucked out. Immediately after stopping Laxalt just as she was about to state that, Jansing herself said that the GOP might welcome the debate on the partial birth abortion issue "after Iraq and some of the other things that have gone on at the White House that have sort of sucked the life out of the Republican party."

Could Jansing possibly have been in much worse taste?

I’d be grateful if people could ping this item to pro-life lists.

[Bob Loblaw]

Let me get this straight.

The same network that aired the from-the-grave rant of a mass murderer refused to allow a description of partial birth abortion?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Yeah; too “emotional.”

[TommyDale]

Is she a Rudy supporter?

[Txsleuth]

MSNBC is getting worse and worse..

Sometimes libs slip up and say what is really on their minds.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I think that’s exactly what happened.

Many people who don’t want to hear the heart-wrenching truth have either had one themselves or are close to someone who has. They become defensive and cold when it is brought up.

Anyone supporting PBA and late-term abortions is well outside the mainstream. This includes Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg.

You think Jansing might have had a partial-birth abortion?

Hillary: Court Ruling Stabs Women in Back of Head

Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling in Gonzales v. Carhart upholding the right of Congress and state legislatures to regulate abortion and, in particular, to ban partial-birth abortion, is “a blade to the back of the head of every woman in American,” according to Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.

“I know I speak for my sisters across the nation,” said Sen. Clinton, “when I say that I feel like someone grabbed me by the ankles, and jammed a pair of scissors into the base of my skull and then just sucked my brains out. This is devastating to our freedoms and our sense who we are as the largest minority group in America.”

Mrs. Clinton derided the justices who comprised the majority in the 5-4 ruling as “a gang of callous right-wingers who slaughtered the civil rights of women just as we are about to experience a new birth of freedom with the election of the first female president.”

“All that potential, all that hope is now tossed down the garbage chute,” she said, “and all because five selfish judges decided that their so-called ‘right to choose’ supersedes the life of the women’s movement. It’s despicable.”

They ( MSM/MSNBC/CBS/NBC/ABC ) were already bad, they are just showing their true colors.
