I'm convinced much of it comes from bloodlust. These people are about killing children. Anything that might hint at a small step in the direction that prohibits that is fought tooth and nail. This "health exception" thing is just a front, another mask they put on to hide their real agenda.
On a related issue, I notice what seemed to be another disturbing pattern/coincidence on O'Reilley and then H&C afterward. And that was, the people who seemed to be defending the failure of the FL justice system to keep the accused killer of Carlie Brucia off the streets seemed to be women. Maybe this is a stretch, but why does it seem that when something is going on involving the killing of children, there are women stepping up to the plate to defend the practice? Time was that women were thought of as nurturers and givers of life and those in society who take care of and defend children. Why are so many seeming to take up the position of defending individuals or practices or systems which seem to have as their end the killing of children? I'm not generalizing, just pointing out what seems to be a disturbing pattern of coincidences. Has something has gone wrong here...?
