Redstate: Ezra Klein Supports Killing Black Babies

This from Redstate is absolutely on target: Ezra Klein Supports Killing Black Babies|

 

What’s wrong with you, bitter clingers? Don’t you realize that a dead child is a cheap child? I mean, all dead babies cost is the funds to suck or cut them mercilessly from their mother’s womb. Presto! No more pesky expenses of a living child.

Ezra Klein, writing at the Washington Post, actually proffers that argument in favor of  taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood; that abortions are cheaper for the government than having an “unintended pregnancy”. (That’s their euphemism for unborn baby killed by abortion.) His article is filled with predictable talking points, all easily disproved – the SBA List has already done so here.  Setting the horrid spin aside, his concluding paragraph is truly vile:

The fight also isn’t about cutting spending. The services Planned Parenthood provides save the federal government a lot of money. It’s somewhat cold to put it in these terms, but taxpayers end up bearing a lot of the expense for unintended pregnancies among people without the means to care for their children.

Did you mean among “those people”, Ezra? After all, the majority of babies aborted are minority babies. In New York City alone, nearly 60% of unborn African-American children were aborted.

Somewhat cold, Ezra? I’d go with revolting and sick, but that’s just me. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, however, would surely be proud of you.
The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” – Margaret Sanger

 Fellow travelers of the abortion “rights” industry, be proud.

UPDATE:
I’ll never understand why so many self-described “diversity activists” vote for abortion promoting politicians, which describes essentially all Democrats (what else can you call a party that supports unlimited abortion for any reason at any time in the pregnancy before birth?).

No death benefits for military during shutdown

 

In the event of a government shutdown, the Pentagon would have to delay payments of the $100,000 death benefit that families receive if a military service member dies in the line of duty, a senior defense official said Friday,

Families would get the money eventually after the government re-opens, but they could have problems paying expenses, including for the funerals, the official said, adding that the Pentagon will reach out to various military aid agencies to help those who need it.

Another in the long line of horror stories telling us a government shutdown is going to be a disaster.  The question these stories don’t ask, of course, is, “A disaster compared to what?” 

Like driving the country over a cliff by continuing business as usual?

I haven’t heard any report of any bad outcome from a government shutdown that comes close to comparing to what will happen to the nation if the Republicans don’t stand firm on spending cuts.
