It seems that Kevin D. Williamson of the National Review has some strong feelings about how women who have abortions should be treated (punished). He tweeted today that they should be hanged for it ... capital punishment by hanging. Not only that, he also believes that the doctors, nurses, and others who helped/aided in the abortion should also be hanged. And, it didn't seem to matter to him if the woman's life was in danger.
It doesn't appear that he had any suggestions as to how we could help out all the orphans and/or other children living in poverty today either.
Now, doesn't he sound like quite the "sweet talker," ladies?
From the Daily Edge's Asshole Of The Day:
Imagine being so “pro-life” that you think a woman should face the death penalty for aborting a fetus.
Imagine being so, so “pro-life” that “logically” you think the doctors and nurses who abort a fetus—even to save the life of a mother—should face the death penalty, too.
Imagine having thought it through so much that, like National Review writer Kevin D. Williamson, you even have your preferred method of “pro-life” execution—hanging—already decided.
Williamson’s latest article was his attempt to respond to a Lena Dunham blog post encouraging women to vote. His piece, “Five Reasons Why You’re Too Dumb to Vote… (Reason 1: You get your politics from Lena Dunham)” prompted a quick backlash. Things started rolling downhill faster when Williamson began explaining his penis-based expertise to, among others, Charles Johnson of the blog Little Green Footballs on twitter.
Williamson lost out to Rush Limbaugh on August 13, despite calling a 9-year-old black boy a “primate” in another National Review piece.
