  1. Didn’t Duh-1 sponsor a bill while a State Senator in IL that allowed the killing of born alive fetuses during third-trimester abortions?
    Seems like the same facts might apply here.

  2. Does this make me a horrible person that I laughed at this?

    It is kind of sickeningly ironice that he would have no problem with the killing of born alive fetuses, but is tormented by a little water being poured over the face of Khalid Sheik Hairshirt.

  3. “Sources acknowledged continuing White House debate about whether a terrorist who escapes from Gitmo alive can still be treated as a fetus.”

    That’s obviously above Obama’s pay grade.

  4. “It is not our goal to reduce the number of abortions.”

    Obama official speaking after the Notre Dame commencement speech.

  6. Somewhat reminiscent of P.J. O’Rourke’s old quip regarding capital punishment: get liberals on-board by renaming it “retroactive abortion.”

  7. This reminds me of Gore Vidal’s “Lincoln” where Abe grabbed a boar by its back feet and when faced with the prospect of its tusks said, “Someone help me let this pig go.”

    I may have the exact passage incorrect. Nonetheless, it does fit.

  8. Do we know their birth dates?

    Enough said.
