The 2nd Person

President Bush is going to sign a bill passed by the Senate that will make it a second crime with extra punishment for hurting or killing an "unborn baby" during the commission of a crime. President Bush said that Americans "know intuitively" that when a mother and an unborn baby are killed that there are two victims.

The pro-abortion camp and their political arm, the Democratic Party, oppose the bill because it could lead to unravelling abortion rights. The proposed an amendment, which was defeated, agreeing to extra penalties but not naming it as a separate crime. John Kerry voted for the defeated amendment and against the final bill.

Some thoughts:

1. The news reader that I heard this story from on the radio is apparently off the reservation and didn't get the memo from her handlers in the media. There are no "unborn babies" in feminist land or in journalism. There are only "fetuses". She'll get her hand slapped, I'm sure.

2. The pro-abortion camp cannot have an "unborn baby" recognized, by means of a 2nd crime, as a 2nd "person". They fight tooth and nail against granting personhood because then all of their euphemisms about how it's just a "blob of tissue" or a "product of conception" fall apart.

3. The Democrats still don't understand how illogical their position is. They proposed an amendment agreeing to extra penalties, but refusing to acknowledge that there is an extra victim. If there is no extra victim, why would you penalize the perp extra?

4. Why are they so worried. It only kicks in if you hurt or kill an unborn baby...... Oh yeah, now I see it. But it only counts if you hurt or kill an unborn baby in the commission of a "crime". If your hurt or kill an unborn baby in the commission of an "abortion", it's just business as usual in America 4400 times a day and the preferred public policy of the feminist extremists and their puppets, the Democratic Party.

Especially Democratic presidential candidates.

All you need to know is that George Bush will speak up to recognize the personhood of unborn babies. John Kerry voted no.
