Ideological Agreement - Sort Of

People on either side of the political spectrum are voicing outrage over the disclosure made by Irene Vilar in her new book “Impossible Motherhood: Confessions of an Abortion Addict” in which she confesses to committing 15 abortions in a 17 year span – almost one per year, almost every year of her adult life. She tried to get pregnant just so she could get abortions!

Here are a couple of the statements of outrage:

“What a stupid selfish woman. I am pro-choice yes, but this takes the mick. Abortion is not birth control and it shouldn't be used as such.” - Rachel, Plymouth.

“I'm not against abortions, but this is just messed up. Who in their right mind would purposely get pregnant just to abort the child and then have the nerve to write a book about it!?”- Dee, Cardiff

I for one am glad that both sides, excepting the most rabidly fanatical leftists of course, have been so vocal in their disgust, so glad in fact, that it is very difficult for me to risk trampling on that bi-ideological spirit by saying what follows. But then again, I am only stating the obvious.

The leftists who have expressed outrage still appear to be confused. On the one hand, as you have seen from their comments, they are disgusted by the actions of Irene Vilar, yet they all proclaim their support of the “freedom to choose.”

This is a clearly disingenuous position that the liberals accept and promote because they have divorced the rhetorical description – “freedom to choose” - from the specific action of “abortion.” One must really wonder if liberals really believe in the “freedom to choose” because, generally speaking, they work to block choice on almost every other issue, such as voucher programs that give parents the ability to choose their children’s schools, curriculum, teachers and text books.
Choice in healthcare – that is, allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines – is blocked by the very same liberals and their special interests that work so hard to suppress school choice.
One hallmark of liberalism is that concepts leftists promote, such as “choice,” or “fairness,” or “liberty,” are very often not at all what they clamor for. What choice does an unborn child have? Is it fair to use the weight of the federal government to plunder from (tax) an earner, ostensibly to spread the wealth around to those who haven’t earned it? Is emancipation from all moral restraint really the kind of liberty we should be championing?

Here’s a question: Why are these liberals who support a “woman’s right to choose,” upset with Irene Vilar? Her actions represent the logical conclusion of the abortion mentality and, mark my words; she will not be the only one. She was only exercising a so-called “right” that they still admittedly support!
What is it that they find so disgusting? I’ll tell you. They know in their twisted heart-of-hearts what abortion is. The “freedom to choose…(wait for it!)… to abort unborn children” is not the same thing as choosing to have a tumor removed. There’s a unique and innocent human being involved who doesn’t get to have a say in the matter. They are outraged because they know the action itself is reprehensible. Liberalism is the salve for the conscience that permits them to judge whether or not the unborn are indeed human beings based upon the desire, or lack thereof, to give birth, and not upon scientific facts. The question I would pose to all of my liberal friends is: What difference does it make to you if it’s 1 or 2 abortions, or 15?
