The most disgusting thing about the democrats’ position is the glee and pride they take in abortion. They love it. What kind of group would take pride in “shout your abortion” and openly brag about it. And they love the power of forcing people who find it reprehensible to pay for it through tax dollars.

May I kindly suggest to you that you not dwell on your disgust, or that you at least attempt to suppress any open expression of it. It can sometimes lead to moral posturing.

Not that I wish to insinuate that you, personally, might be susceptible to that.

Rather, we conservatives should ask ourselves: What convoluted emotional responses motivate someone to "proclaim" and "celebrate" something like abortion? What tortured inner logic is at play here?

After all, we don't publicly announce having our hemorrhoids removed. We don't urge others to post accounts of having their gall bladders removed. We don't shout to the heavens the fact that we are reliant upon stool softeners.

The answer, of course, is shame. Not the mild embarrassment we would suffer if mentioning to a friend that we couldn't go horseback riding for a couple of weeks because we recently had, say, an anal cyst removed. Not the considerate discretion that we would exercise when not trumpeting to the world that the erectile dysfunction was only temporary... No, it's profound shame on their part that paradoxically compels them to pretend that it's something that they are proud of.
