Overheard in New York
Girl on date: My mother had an abortion when I was 11.
Boy on date: That must be because your parents realized they could never produce anything as beautiful as you again.

It starts with Matthew's absurd spin on the JFK 1960 quote. Matthews is immediately talking over the bishop's first answer. It's a cheap tactic to heat up the "guest". Also, around 4:30 into the interview, MSNBC seems to turn the volume up on Matthews microphone, and lower it on Bishop Tobin. After about 4:45, listen carefully and Matthews interrupts every 3 or 4 seconds. After 4:29, the longest uninterrupted interval where the bishop speaks is about 5 seconds -- In all I think that after Matthews launched on the criminalization of abortion -- the bishop got about 10 seconds in all to speak -- once the Matthews rant started. I'd love to head an edited tape of the interview which included only Bishop Tobin's voice -- it would run about 18 seconds out of the 9 mins 24.
US bishops laud Stupak amendment’s passage; no comment on Pelosi plan
Divide and conquer. The bill lacks:
It included:
While the bishops are not libertarians but statists, but this bill has no recognition of subsidiarity.
The pro-abortion people are not sweating, they are certain Stupak will be killed in "reconciliation" process.
A Vermont woman whose 6-month-old twin fetuses died after a car crashed into the family van wants them to be legally recognized as children, which is not the case under current state law.
Think of laws which hold harmless the death of an unborn child in circumstances which otherwise would be homicide if the child were born as a protective moat outside of fortress abortion which must be crossed eventually.
Such laws are rightly feared by pro-aborts because it causes people who haven't been paying attention to look up and see the slippery slope that has been descended.
