The Abortion Distraction

  Liberals always pull it and conservatives always fall for it. It is an unyielding cycle. With our ever left leaning media it is easy to see why the Obama administration's scandals, like Fast and Furious and the debacle of Benghazi, get little publicity. Conservatives are always playing on liberal terms and on a liberal playing field. It's unavoidable in order to obtain any publicity, because for the most part, the liberal media are the only game in town short of a few Fox News hosts and conservative radio. All late-night entertainment hosted shows give large amounts of time to liberal candidates and their endless stream of Hollywood supporters. As we have seen in the recent presidential debates, liberal moderators largely control the narrative and questioning, and when they see fit, interject their own liberal bias acting as human shields for the president's failed policies and possible criminal activities.

  Many Pro-Life conservatives have recently been under attack for their religious convictions toward the life of a human fetus regardless of the hideous and violent acts of rape or incest. To these politicians, a life whose origins involved such violence is still an innocent life no-less, but the Pro-Choice liberals who judge Pro-Life rationality are not being totally honest about their own motives when opposing these convictions. Pro-Choice candidates (that are mostly made up of liberals) are never asked or posed the same type of questioning. For instance, I've never heard a debate moderator ask a Pro-Choice candidate an abortion question from the Pro-Life position of, “Why do you think it is morally right to terminate a human fetus that is not the product of rape or incest?” If they did, you would find these liberal candidates scurrying for the politically correct verbiage as to not make them appear as butchers and murderers. Unfortunately, there is not much of a conservative drum-beat among the media to report those uncomfortable and awkward liberal responses. Furthermore, the instances of abortion due to pregnancy from rape and incest are minuscule in the vast realm of abortions performed. This gets lost in the overall argument which seems missed when drilling only the Pro-Life candidate on the instance of rape or incest.

  Somewhere among us there are certainly men and women (aware or not aware) who were conceived and then born from the act of rape or incest. An example from history might include the many children that were born as a result of mass rape committed by Russian soldiers upon female civilians during of fall of Berlin in WWII. Many of these females were mere children or young teens who endured the hatred and humiliation of these war crimes. Certainly, these human beings born of rape, perhaps more than anyone, can distinguish the difference between God's love for the celebration of life, and His disdain toward the evil acts of men. It is indeed a dilemma of which I myself am personally torn. Yet, I am more comfortable with my own Solomon-like remedy for this predicament, which would probably be viewed as much more controversial, though justly fair in my opinion for all parties involved; but that remedy is probably best left for another discussion or article.

  It seems, however, if you want to distract the voting public from failed economic, social, and foreign policy, you resort to the old dependable standards of abortion, gay marriage, and more sadly, race-baiting. The fall guy's (or gal's) burden in all these cases, weighs upon the shoulders of conservatives and their 'religious' convictions. This is without hesitation, gloriously translated by the liberal media as 'intolerance'. So with abortion it is always worded in such a way that conservatives are somehow condoning or insensitive to rape, hating gay people, and promoting closet racism because they disagree with a liberal black president's ideology. The knee-jerk reaction is to divorce yourself of that conservative candidate so as to embrace the liberal alternative or not vote at all. With only two parties to choose from one has some very difficult decisions to make when considering a candidate. We actually have to make a 'Sophie's Choice' on a number of challenging topics. Which of these elements are of most importance when you have to choose one over another?

  It is no secret that I come from a conservative background and ideology. I believe in less government, and with the current administration I can only expect government to grow ever larger. I love Capitalism. It is the proverbial Goose that Socialism, Marxism and Communism seem intent upon cooking rather than gathering her endless bounty of created Golden Eggs. It is their elitist urge to control every aspect of life that has made the common man their slave. They hate for the common man to possess the power that 'harvested wealth' awards, because it makes men independent and free. And, I too, have a different stance on abortion when it concerns rape or incest than most my conservative Pro-Life friends, because I also have a much different view of God and religion. I find that many conservatives feel the same way for a number of different reasons, and I respect their individual views on the conditions of rape and incest as it applies to abortion. Unlike the Marxian government we are becoming, I don't want to dethrone God and destroy Capitalism just to put into place an 'Us and Them' elitist government of those who make the rules and those of us who must follow them. I don't want to see the U.S. become a nanny state that nurses its citizenry from the cradle to the grave. This election is pivotal, and in my opinion there are larger, more urgent issues at stake than one's spiritual convictions toward even the most sickening violation that would yield a human life, much less whether that life must be heralded or quashed.

  One such issue is the collapse of a national economy that would move people to unthinkable tragedy on a scale so horrific that murder, rape, religious persecution, and race bashing would be commonplace. The other is a government that for its own survival and dominance, would outlaw free speech and disarm its citizens in order to impose their will. This is the climate of the present administration, the United Nations, and the current mood of the failing socialistic governments of Europe. As I have stated many times, if my choice were between bad and worse, I'd choose bad. Bad gives me a little more breathing room in which to evaluate my next course of action. While I do feel a Romney administration could not possibly make things worse, I do believe another four years of President Obama could well destroy our nation's Constitution and thus our very foundation. If we allow that to happen, we will have justly earned the horrors that await us.
