What the hell is it about Planned Parenthood that drives people crazy? It's not enough to want to defund Planned Parenthood. It's not enough to lie about what they do at Planned Parenthood. It's not enough to slander their name and what they do not only for women, but for men as well. It seems like people have this uncontrollable urge to attack Planned Parenthood in any way, shape, or form. Alright. We all know what it is. People in this country are stupid enough to buy into the pro-life argument that babies are killed there. To take the words of a great man named George Carlin, it's bullshit and it's bad for you.
Late Tuesday evening, a Planned Parenthood center in Texas was attacked with a molotov cocktail. Now it is important to note that this Planned Parenthood center does not perform abortions. The McKinney police have yet to arrest someone for the attack. Fortunately nobody was there and the damage was not major. Even though this is rare for the North Texas operation of Planned Parenthood, it isn't new to Planned Parenthood in general. Earlier this year, Ralph Lang planned to kill any doctor who provided abortions at a Planned Parenthood center in Madison, Wisconsin. Now whether or not the attack on the McKinney Planned Parenthood center was carried out by an anti-abortion terrorist or not is yet to be known, but allow me to take a page from the right and speculate. Why in the hell would a pro-choicer attack a Planned Parenthood center? Maybe this was done by some idiot with too much time on their hands. Maybe not. All I know is the the anti-choice community needs to pray to their god that one of their own had nothing to do with this.
There has been a long history of anti-choice violence in this country. It seems like violence in the name of a fetus has become a noble thing. This type of terrorism doesn't get the attention it should. If anything, some in the media have helped to push people to commit violence against abortion providers. Doctors have been killed and clinics have been bombed. Eventually people in this stupid country are going to have to learn a few things.
1: No babies are killed by an abortion.
2: If a woman decides to have an abortion, it's none of your damned business why.
3: Despite the dumbass argument that fetuses do not have rights, they do have rights. They have the same rights that you and I have. I cannot use someone else's body without their consent. No matter the situation. Neither can they.
4: Killing a doctor to save a fetus that you will probably kill if it grows up to become an abortion provider is just stupid.
5: Adoption is not an alternative to pregnancy. It's an alternative to parenting. Stop saying that it is an alternative. You just sound stupid.
When is the country going to start calling things what they really are? Anybody who attacks an abortion clinic because they think that precious little babies are being killed there are terrorists. This might shock lot of people, but some terrorists don't wear keffiyehs. They wear American flag t-shirts, hold bibles, and attend pro-life rallies. We need to start handling them as we handle terrorists and we need to start examining those in the media (like Bill O'Reilly) who help push people to commit violent acts against abortion providers. I mean how much more blood must be spilled before we take care of the terrorists who live next door? Call me crazy, but as long as GITMO is still open, we might as well start shipping anti-choice terrorists there. The last time I checked, abortion was still legal in this country. Any act of violence against someone who provides them should be considered an attempt to undermine the United States.
