The Democratic presidential candidates on the debate stage
Wednesday night were asked if they were in favor of healthcare plans that
provided public funding for abortion. Julian Castro, one of those
candidates and former President Barack Obama’s Housing and Urban Development
Secretary, said that not only does his plan include publicly funded abortions,
it would cover the trans community as well.
Castro,
who I believe is no relation to Fidel or Raul, answered: “I don’t believe only
in reproductive freedom, I believe in reproductive justice. (There was
loud clapping and cheers from the audience at this point). And what that means
is just because a woman, or let’s also not forget someone in the
trans community—a trans female—is poor, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t
exercise that right to choose. So, I absolutely would cover that right to have
an abortion.”
Note to
Castro: There is no “right” to kill your unborn child. And “trans females,”
poor or not, have absolutely no need to exercise their “right” to kill
an unborn child……because it is impossible for men who wish to be women to get
pregnant.
Imagine
someone just a generation ago saying, “I believe abortion should be legal in
all circumstances up to the moment of birth.” Imagine that someone adding, “And
maybe a little after. I support 4th trimester abortion!”
(Huh?!). Now imagine that person saying they believe such late-term (after-birth)
abortions should be publicly funded. And then adding: “And I
think men should be able to choose to abort their babies, as well.” Nearly 50
years after the Kinks wrote, “Girls will be boys and boys will be girls, it’s a
mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, their words have become truth. (Including
Lola).
Castro’s
statement reminded me of the early Saturday Night Live skit wherein a radio
talk-show host is trying to generate listener calls and failing badly. The
topic is originally forced busing. No calls. He then says he supports federally-funded
forced busing and awaits the torrent of outraged calls he is sure he will soon
be receiving. No calls. This desperate escalation goes on for some time, and
yet, the hyper-tolerant and/or hyper-somnambulant populace can’t be roused to
call in to his show. The host finally states that he is staunchly in favor of
“federally-funded forced busing of communists into your homes…to kill
your puppies!” Nothing. No response.
Federally-funded
abortion……for men? WTF?! What will we be accepting a generation from
now? Seriously.
Democratic Presidential Candidate Says He SupportsChaos. And worse. Far worse.
