Absent a coherent saleable agenda, the Democratic Party has tried to cobble together every group angling for special legal and financial privileges. Now that cobbled-together collection is crumbling. Worse, as the governor of Virginia showed us this week, honesty about what really takes place in the late-term abortions that the radical feminists want repulses many voters who had not been paying attention and were swayed by imprecise linguistic explanations. And as the attention was drawn on him, the racial fault lines in his state came into full focus, despite the media’s best efforts to hide them.
Abortion: A Person’s not a Person if He's Quite Small
Beginning with New York, the Democratic agenda of giving the most radical of feminists anything they want for political advantage became clear. More women than men vote and it’s increasingly clear the craziest of them are the most influential. The New York law, for anyone who paid attention, is appalling, even to those who in time accepted the Roe v. Wade decision. Polls by the Marist Institute and Gallup consistently show that a vast majority of Americans support significant abortion restrictions and oppose abortions after three months gestation. My friend, “Old Lurker” closely examined that legislation. The changes in the bill to existing law includes these things: anybody permitted by the state can perform a no-questions-asked abortion up to 24 weeks; and an abortion can legally be performed on a nine-month-old baby if, in the opinion of the person performing it, the mother would be better off if it is done. There is no longer a duty to provide medical attention to a live born baby who survives the abortion and it can be left to die. Governor Cuomo was so happy about this...

Clarice Ping!
The yearbook photo looked more like Virginia Governor Northam's Sambo.
Good one. :-)

“We’ve often wondered over the last 10 years or so why someone didn’t dig this up sooner,” said Naidorf, a nonpracticing emergency room physician who lives in Alexandria…
Eastern Virginia Medical School allowed students to pick their own photos for their yearbook page, Naidorf said. Her husband chose their engagement photo and other personal pictures. Another student chose a picture of men in blackface and dressed as women in what appears to be a variety-show routine.
Yep. :^)
I couldn’t care less about this blackface crap.
Excellent article - sums it all up nicely.
Until now, there has existed a strange silence on the subject of Democrat Party's absolute insistence on promoting the "destroying" of human life in the womb.
On the underlying question moral question discussed here, nothing addresses it better than the simple logic of this quotation from Mother Teresa, who, at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC on February 3, 1994, as cited above, stated: "And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
Mother Teresa's declaration may be the most powerful statement in 2016 from which to begin discussions of where a candidate stands on all the questions of life and liberty.
The sole reason these rights were deemed unalienable is that both are derived from the Creator--not from the mother or father, and not from government or judicial decision. What is "granted" by human decision also can, by implication, be withheld.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them (life and liberty)," said Thomas Jefferson.
"The world is different now. . . and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address
That understanding underlies every other consideration embodied in our Declaration of Independence and every protection of our Constitution. It is the very basis of our rights to life and liberty, of laws to protect them, and it distinguishes ours from other forms of government.
When we fail to acknowledge that foundation of our liberty, then we risk liberty itself for future generations, for where does the right to choose who lives and who does not really end?
That is why the question is of vital importance in each election. Already, we have deprived millions of their Creator-endowed rights to life and liberty, and our nation must be weaker for their loss. We need leaders who understand the implications and potential consequences of departing from our founding principles.
In recent decades, technological advances have enabled us to observe the characteristics and actions of God's tiniest creations in the womb. Unlike previous generations who could not see, we have no excuse for imagining that these are mere blobs of tissue labeled "fetuses." In their early weeks, we now can see that they are living babies who will continue on to possess life and liberty if we do not "destroy" both. Indeed, they are simply smaller versions of ourselves.
Questions on the economy, taxes, threats from terrorists, health care--all are considerations at this election time. One, however, may be basic to all others. Who will best protect the underlying premise of our Constitution--and the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn?
Promises are illusive and cheap. One fact is indisputable, however: the Democrat Party is committed to the Far Left's agenda on this matter, and that agenda is not compatible with our Constitution's premise.
Nailed it. Governor Murder is really stuck now. He admitted to being in the photo. However which character is less offensive? The black faced mistral man? Or the democrat masquerading as a KKK?
bkmk
I think he's a pediatric pedophile, and he left medicine and got into politics in order to get away from the temptation. Anybody who has as few qualms as he does about killing children would have no trouble taking sexual advantage of them.

Excellent post, thanks!
Support Free Republic, Folks!
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot destroy them." - Thomas Jefferson
Good point.
It’s much ado about nothing. It takes away from real issues that must be addressed.
But that’s the purpose of Political Correctness: Control the narrative.
A frontal attack might get attackers killed
A flank attack is more productive and secures the objective.
