There really is nothing like the pro-abortion press machine. They really can make a mountain out of a mole hill quite effectively. Case in point... an article in the Kansas Free Press promoting a candlelight vigil for the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and the celebrating the life of Dr. George Tiller. This really is a must read. Some of the highlights from their spin machine.
First of all, the outrage they feel at the "thousands of women who died prior to Roe v. Wade and the abortion providers and staff that the nation has lost to senseless acts of violence". Hello... just this January, an estimate on the number of abortions as topping over 52 million children. Now, I certainly feel bad for the small number of women who suffered injury or death seeking illegal abortions prior to Roe v. Wade, but c'mon, comparing the thousands to 52 million. Wow. And no where in the article is there a mention of the number 52. Surprising?
Second, in reading the article, it sounded like a fairly significant event. Wondering how many people actually skip dinner with the family to show up to support Roe v. Wade and "honor" an abortionist, I thought I'd check out the photos on the Kansas NOW site. Heck, PBS even covered the event. Must have been quite a shin-dig. Boy was I a bit underwhelmed to find the Candlelight Vigil Photos from the vigil web site. This looks really sleepy. A lot of open chairs and a few votives doesn't seem to map to the coverage given by the Kansas "Free" Press. Not sure how free these guys are...
Third, and most disturbing is the glowing references made to Tiller by NOW as well as other late term Abortionists Warren Hern and Susan Wicklund. Now remember, these guys perform late term abortions. These are the most controversial of all procedures as they kill children that are viable outside the womb if allowed to be delivered. So... when I read things like the following quotes, I just can't find a way to map it to the reality of what they are actually doing. Think about it. They are killing human lives and the glowing references keep coming:
"His purpose was to liberate and save women by providing them with abortion care."
"George was a wonderful, kind, generous human being and dedicated physician."
"We know that the Pro Choice movement lost one of our biggest heroes, a compassionate, extremely competent physician, a voice that spoke truth, a rock we all thought could never be moved."
Again, you're losing me on the compassionate, kind and "abortion care" comments. Remember, these are kids he's been killing for the last several decades. Then... and maybe most disturbing are the quotes from abortionists Wicklund and Hern around their own struggle:
Wicklund is required to read abortion patients misleading, politician-penned scripts that refer to an embryo as an "unborn baby"
"We don't know how many more clinics will be burned, staff terrorized or doctors killed. We don't know if our government will actually step up and make sure abortion is treated as the basic health care we all know it is."
"And it is about your mothers and wives, your sisters and daughters and granddaughters and best friends. It is about someone else wanting to control us. It is about power."
God forbid we call a "fetus" an unborn baby in front of a mother that is discerning ending the life of her baby. And we'd surely want to trade a baby's life for more power and control over our own lives... Wow, the spin continues. The truth of the matter is that with Roe v. Wade, millions die and without it, perhaps a few do... No excuse for what happened to Tiller, but I just don't want to be played. Let's tell it like it is, folks. Agree?
