[Full title: Alabama Democrat on abortions: ‘Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later’]

… “I’m not about to be the male tell a woman what to do with her body,” he said, repeating a common refrain among abortion-rights advocates. “She has a right to make that decision herself."

Then his argument took a turn.

“Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or kill them later,” he said. “You bring them into the world unwanted, unloved, then you send them to the electric chair. So you kill them now or you kill them later. But the bottom line is that I think we shouldn’t be making this decision.”

In a statement, Alabama Senate Majority Leader Greg Reed (R) called Rogers’s remarks “chilling.”

“‘Kill them now, or you kill them later’?" he said. “His comments should be condemned at the state and national level.”

A rare moment of honesty from a liberal Democrat. This is how they think.

Does this also apply to politicians?

—and a tongue in cheek justification for capital punishment could be that it’s a really, really late term abortion——(sarc)

This article utterly fails to mention that the democrat in question is John Rogers. If these ghouls are to be held to account, they must be named, even in the Freeper summary.

Some politicians turn out to be corrupt. You can incarcerate them now or you can incarcerate them later.

That would be “Retroactive Abortion” to kill someone after they are born. It is murder of course to kill anyone with a heartbeat so I do not condone it, but politicians should be wary since there is no age limit.

People wonder how the Germans pulled off the holocaust. Not that tough, really, given the number of people who believe this very thing, but are savvy enough to keep their mouth shut about it.

If it’s just tissue, there’s nothing to kill.

When your kids struggle to have a baby, no child is unwanted.

Funny how the feminists rail against telling ‘a woman what to do with her body’, but see no hypocrisy in demonizing cheerleaders for doing what they want to do with their body on the gridiron or hardwood floor, or stay-at-home Moms for raising her family the way she sees fit.

Ain’t fascism grand?

...you kill them now or you kill them later.

Same can be said for violent criminals. Kill 'em now; saves having to kill 'em later!

I wonder if that black dude realizes Planned Parenthood was created to exterminate blacks from the US? And still today the percentage of black babies aborted per 1000 far outweighs the rest of the racial abortion population.

That’s a video interview of this pessimist who doesn’t believe in God.

Maybe they should change the law so parents have the right to abort them up to age 18. Or maybe even 21. Or 27.
