Sometimes political arguments just don’t make sense. This is one of those times.
In the wake of Alabama’s new abortion bill, liberals have spread all kinds of crazy rumors about it. In reality, it does not criminalize getting an abortion. It simply criminalizes those who seek to make money off providing abortions. That seems reasonable to those who don’t dehumanize life in the womb.
It also seems reasonable that California and other states like them have no business telling Alabama what they can and can’t do to protect scientifically provable human life.
Despite that, the propaganda machine is in full effect and one ridiculous take involves the fact that Alabama executed a convicted murderer the day after passing their abortion bill. This is supposed to represent some kind of grave hypocrisy. How? I have no idea, but cogent arguments are not the left’s strong suit.
I am trying to understand how you can be pro-life and pro-death penalty at the same time. 🤔🤔

"Apparently, Ivey’s not averse to returning some of God’s sacred gifts, since as governor she’s overseeing the planned execution tonight of Michael Brandon Samra," writes Scott Martelle for @latimesopinion https://t.co/eh8Enkat2S

Because, you know, an innocent baby completely robbed of due process is the same as a convicted child murderer…or something?
CNN’s Jake Tapper jumped in to point out how ridiculous the argument is.
2/ In 1997, at age 19, Samra and his friend, Mark Duke, shot Duke’s father Randy, and the father’s girlfriend Dedra Mims Hunt. This was over a dispute they were having with Randy over a pickup truck. pic.twitter.com/H4dkBg34UL

4/ Duke was 16 at the time so the death penalty was off the table. Samra appealed his conviction, asserting his rights had been violated. Here's the ruling:https://t.co/5HeCsvHUP1

Somehow, this sent liberals into an absolute meltdown.
How is it you’ve risen so high in the ranks without understanding how damn obtuse tweeting something like this is. Like… really dude?

Perhaps Justin could explain to us what is so obtuse about differentiating between a guy who slit the throats of children and innocent human life in the womb?

I’m not even sure what this guy is talking about.
Human sacrifice will not bring those angels back Mr. Tapper. It is equally vicious and unfaithful to give the state the power of life and death.

Actually, it’s not equally vicious to execute a child murderer after full due process compared to killing a baby. I have no idea how any rational person could make such an argument, even if you are technically against the death penalty. There is no equity in the two situations.
This just shows how insane the left wing position is on abortion at this point. It’s so convoluted, so illogical, and so disgusting that they have to defend a guy who slit the throats of children in order to uphold their support for dismembering babies in the womb. That LA Times article is just asinine on its face, yet somehow it made it to print to be presented as a reasonable take.
Props to Jake Tapper for being willing to point out the stupidity of all this.
