It's All About Choice...REALLY

H/T SayAnything

Chinese victims of forced late-term abortion fight back

Yang Zhongchen, a small-town businessman, wined and dined three government officials for permission to become a father.
But the Peking duck and liquor weren't enough. One night, a couple of weeks before her date for giving birth, Yang's wife was dragged from her bed in a north China town and taken to a clinic, where, she says, her baby was killed by injection while still inside her.


Since the entirety of the pro-choice movement is horror stories from poor single women, here's a good one...

"Several people held me down, they ripped my clothes aside and the doctor pushed a large syringe into my stomach," says Jin Yani, a shy, petite woman with a long ponytail. "It was very painful. ... It was all very rough."
Some 30 years after China decreed a general limit of one child per family, resentment still brews over the state's regular and sometimes brutal intrusion into intimate family matters. Not only are many second pregnancies aborted, but even to have one's first child requires a license.
Seven years after the dead baby was pulled from her body with forceps, Jin remains traumatized and, the couple and a doctor say, unable to bear children. Yang and Jin have made the rounds of government offices pleading for restitution — to no avail.
This year, they took the unusual step of suing the family planning agency. The judges ruled against them, saying Yang and Jin conceived out of wedlock. Local family planning officials said Jin consented to the abortion. The couple's appeal to a higher court is pending.


Surely, since the most important thing in the world is for a woman to be able to choose whether or not she keeps her child, we'll start hearing from the pro-choice crowd about this travesty. Any second now...

It's coming I'm sure...

Pro-Choice Advocates Charged with Hypocracy

From OneNewsNow.com:

A pro-life activist says Democratic White House hopefuls who are promoting universal abortion coverage on the campaign trail are speaking out of both sides of their mouths.
Mark Crutcher, the president of Life Dynamics, Incorporated, says the American abortion industry's "choke-hold" on the Democratic Party is evidenced by the fact that at least two of the party's leading presidential candidates are promoting universal abortion coverage. Democratic presidential candidates Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois) and John Edwards have announced their universal healthcare proposals would provide insurance coverage for abortions.
Elizabeth Edwards recently told the Planned Parenthood Action Fund that her husband's plan would cover "all reproductive health services, including pregnancy termination." Crutcher says the Edwards and Obama plans reaffirm that the Democratic Party is "owned lock, stock and barrel" by the abortion industry -- and expose the two candidates as "hypocrites and liars."
"Out of one side of their mouth, they say that abortion is none of the government's business and the government has to stay out of it -- but on the other side of their mouth, they say the government has a responsibility to pay for abortion. Now which one is it?" he asks.
The conservative commentator also adds that in order to be the standard-bearer in the Democratic Party today, one must be "completely and unashamedly sold-out to the wholesale slaughter of the unborn."
"It's the threat of a gun, basically," he explains. "They're going to take money out of our pocketbook -- and when I say the threat of a gun, understand something: if you don't pay your taxes, you go to jail. And they're going to take money out of your pocket and out of mine to pay for what we know is the murder of a child."
Frontrunner Hillary Clinton has yet to unveil her healthcare plan, but Crutcher notes that in the eight years of her husband's presidency, there was only one group Bill Clinton was completely loyal to -- the abortion industry.


Unfortunately, the guy's right. You can't have it both ways. You can't argue that it is an inherently personal choice that the government has no business being involved in...and then demand the government get involved. You can't say that the Government has no business in reproduction, and then force the governmental foot in the door.

The end result of this policy is simple. It gives very simple legal argument to the government having control over abortion. Everything the government funds it controls, period. Maybe liberals will never use this control on abortion, but if Republicans get back into power, they will. And no one will be able to use the argument that the government can't regulate it. Because by the government paying for something, it invariably controls it.

Liberals everywhere had better hope this never passes, otherwise it puts government in direct control of the womb, and takes your opinion out of it.
