Defending the Indefensible - Abortion Activist Nonsuport of HB3156

Ever know someone who stubbornly kept arguing an erroneous opinion, to irrational extremes, defying all logic? I'm sure we've all experienced this type of personality in our lives; people who will even defend the indefensible. Usually pride is at the core of this type of irrationality .. sometimes ignorance .. and other times .. there is an agenda.

So, do Illinois abortion activists and feminist groups have an agenda in opposing a bill which would improve health and safety standards in abortion clinics; at least to the level of any ambulatory surgical treatment center, or even veterinary clinic standards? Talk about stubbornly defending the indefensible. What is the agenda here?

The horrifying and grizzly case of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, accused of murdering born-alive babies from abortions, and overdosing one of the mother's to death, is spelled out in a 261-page grand jury report, which describes the deplorable conditions of the clinic in which he performed his atrocities. This case prompted Illinois State Representative Darlene Senger (R-Naperville) to introduce HB3156, a bill which would raise the health standards of abortion clinics. Good idea, you say? Pro-abortion advocates would disagree.

HB3156 (The Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Act), would raise reproductive health care facility standards to be comparable to other outpatient surgical centers. Current law exempts reproductive health care centers from meeting even basic building code standards; standards which are even required of most veterinary clinics in Illinois. HB3156 sought to ensure the basic safety to the health of women entering reproductive health care centers, so that the reprehensible situation in Dr. Gosnell's "horror chamber" could never be repeated.

So who could argue against a law such as HB3156, which is clearly in the best interest of women's health and safety? ACLU's Executive Director Colleen Connell stated, "HB3156 would impose unconstitutional burdens on the fundamental right to terminate a pregnancy." Unconstitutional burdens? Did we hear her right? Yes we did. Once again, the defense of the indefensible, prompts the irrational. ACLU's opposition was so irrational and unbalanced, that they even staged protests outside State Rep. Senger's Naperville office last week, with signs that read, "Since when is my uterus any of your business?" and "HB3156 is bad for women." Health and safety concerns are bad for women? Yes, you heard that right.

So what is at the root of this irrational and indefensible position? Just what are abortion activists so vehemently defending anyway? Because it certainly does not sound like they are defending women, when they oppose a bill, which is clearly written to protect the health and safety of women. And it goes without saying, that they are certainly not defending the unborn babies, who are the most defenseless victims of their slaughter houses.

So what are they so passionately defending? The answer .. Abortion .. pure and simple. Why? Abortion has become like a sacrament to it's proponents and defenders. They are blinded by a blood-lust which can only mirror that of ancient pagans who sacrificed their children to the Baals, or the Aztecs who drank the blood of their sacrificial victims. Too dramatic, you say? Well, think about it. Any time human beings enter into any kind of immoral blood letting, the human psyche is deformed. The abortion activists defend abortion with the fervor of a missionary, because they are ensconced in a madness that has overtaken their reason and their humanity. They will defend their sacred cow at any cost.

There is no reason or logic here. There is only madness .. the madness of the indefensible position of abortion.
