It absolutely chills my bones. Why do people not see how evil this is?

Maybe we can argue that if the left will let us control the borders we can afford those expensive “unintended pregnancies” and they’ll let us shut down the abortion mill called planned parenthood.

Ezra Klein doesn’t actually support killing black babies.

Somewhere along the line these people never developed any empathy for others. They are inhuman monsters, worse, in my mind, than the murderer who kills for another’s property.

Killing for convenience, telling themselves that it isn’t a baby until it is born — The lack of human feeling is truly appalling. They’ll go to all lengths to save a murderous criminal like Ted Bundy, and yet shrug off the murder of an innocent baby as a cost-saving measure. Such individuals lost their claim to humanity a long time ago.

I hope to heaven my life never depends on such soulless individuals.

Remember, it was Democrats like him who founded the KKK, twice.

It was they who told us Ezra Klein was “a liberal we can have an honest debate with over ideas” and also “an expert on health policy.” This was after they gave us Andrew Sullivan, but before Matt Yglesias.

How do you like them NOW, all you Short Pants Brigaders?

In fairness, though, Klein loves black babies – in a blender.

base our moral decisions solely on the financial burden imposed on the country we’re going to need a much bigger blender.

that is, private charity services aren’t doing enough in terms of adoption or foster care so the responsibility falls to government. This really is a failure of charity services in this country.

is entirely beside the point. DrewK, your problem is you are presuming Ezra Klein is respecting the right of these individual, genetically unique, people to live or not to live. Klein’s argument is precisely that of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, in Buck v. Bell. Holmes presumed society had a right, if not an obligation, to select its members through genetic lines. When he wrote, “three generations of imbeciles are enough’, Holmes presumed a human agency, government, could decide whether a life was worth living or not. Klein, and his mentor Ezekiel Emmanuel, believe that a human agency can and should predetermine the moral worth of a life. Where Holmes believed you could genetically predict winners and losers, Klein believes through socio-economic conditions you can pick winners and losers. Klein relies on social scientific statistics that ‘predict’ a child born in poverty will have a harmful impact on resources while a child born in a more affluent atmosphere will have a positive impact. This presumes that human agency will be right. We have rejected that presumption as thoroughly immoral and just plain evil.
Hitler presumed Jewish ancestory was ‘bad’ for society.
Holmes presumed imbecile ancestory was’bad’ for society.
Klein presumes poor environmental ancestory is ‘bad’ for society.
They all based this on a presumption of a human agent as a good judge of future behavior and worth.
That’s what makes Klein’s argument amoral and fundamentally flawed.

if one cannot adopt, foster, seems like the wee ones would get care and love one way or another, plus the legals and gays would have to pay for it without having a say in the matter, or does the law also allow same sex couples to foster also, I really do not know. its a thought only.

It is amazing to me that the black race in America are allowing the eugenic destruction of their own race, which was the original intent of Planned Parenthood. They allow their babies to be slaughtered, they depend upon government for their livelyhood and education is of not value. This is similar to an individual that puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger. Democrats, let’s quit calling them Democrats, they are Progressive Marxist now days, have managed to totally consume the black race and make them their poster boy for continued political power. In the early years of our country the Democrats were the slave holders and the slaves wanted to be free. Now the Democrats are still the slave holders and the slaves want even more from their masters. But to put your selves in a situation that allows for, yes even fight for the right to exterminate your children at a rate that is unbelieveable indicates a real lack of God fearing moral fiber and a massive breakdown of the family as an identifying force in ones life. Some blacks have broken the chains of the 21century slavery but so many more are willing to kill their own kind through abortion. I am a Pro life person but the Left they are just Pro abortion, and it has made a lasting mark on this country.

We all know that abortion is wrong, but can there be a “greater good?” I’m sure that 98%+ of all babies that are aborted would have grown up in a liberal household, so allowing them to get abortions, even with us paying for them, we are helping the cause of our children and grandchildren not having to fight liberals all their lives.

Thank you for pointing out this quote. It points many things besides the real reason behind the extermination of babies; and it’s not just about black babies, either. It’s about all of them, and neither color nor class matters when it comes to matters between life and death.

The pro-life issue aside, however, I find nowhere in the consitiution that gives the congress the ability to exercise any kind of legislative authority over the issue in any shape or form. If the Congress doesn’t have it, then neither the Federal Judiciary nor the Executive have it. There is also no authority to administer social programs of any stripe. And what this points out to me is that just by capitulating to the nanny state, we get all of the other ugly things that come with it; and it isn’t any different with socialized medicine, farm subsidies, financial regulation… just name it and there’s all sorts of command and control problems just oozing out of them.

And we make it about this, eveyone jumps on their own issues, as we’ve been doing for decades with little benefit. So now priase is being lumped on Boehner for cutting $61B out of the budget, even though nothing of real import has been accomplished while we debate about womens’ health. It’s a big trap to fall into by not focusing on the fact that the limits of government have been far exceeded and it impacts far more than our wallets, and because of that nothing will ever change for the better.
