Amid the ongoing gun control debate, leftists universally want Americans to believe their only concern is the well-being and safety of our children.
Despite the obvious fallacy of their argument, one can appreciate that at least some actually believe gun-grabbing legislation is a step toward protecting the next generation.
“If it saves only one life,” Joe Biden infamously opined, “it makes sense.”
While holding that position when the issue is guns, leftists are quick to sing another tune when the topic changes to a tool used to kill countless more children than guns ever could – abortion.
In an utterly despicable article by pro-abortion activist Mary Elizabeth Williams, the callousness with which leftists treat child murder is on full display.
Williams is one of the few pro-choicers who readily admit that a fetus is a human life, though she doesn’t seem to see a big deal in ending that life before it has a chance to escape the womb.
“So what if abortion ends life?” she asks, admitting she “never wavered for a moment in the belief I was carrying a human life inside of me” during prior pregnancies, though “that doesn’t make me one iota less solidly pro-choice.”
Despite sharing the belief that unborn children constitute human life, she contends that conservatives who use that argument against abortion are engaging in “sneaky, dirty tricks.”
Williams seems to feel that despite her own opinion – or perhaps because of it – certain lives deserve to be extinguished to benefit certain other lives.
“All life is not equal,” she argues, explaining that pregnant women responsible for their condition should enjoy more rights than the innocent children they carry.
She goes on to describe women as the “boss” in relation to their offspring and encouraged her fellow leftists to avoid the “semantic lines in the sand” associated with arguments over when a fetus becomes a human life.
That argument is unimportant, she argues, because in certain situations, an unborn baby is simply “a life worth sacrificing.”
Anyone – especially a mother – who considers a child’s death acceptable is engaging in a line of reasoning I cannot even fathom.
Millions upon millions of nameless Americans have had their lives legally snuffed out in the 40 years since the case of Roe V. Wade was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
As predicted, Williams’ column shows the inevitable effect of such decisions as a significant portion of this nation’s citizens have absolutely no respect whatsoever for the sanctity of life.
An environment of selfishness and utter disregard for others, not guns or any other tool targeted by the left, are responsible for the culture of violence and death in which we currently live.

SO WHAT, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE??(ACCORDING TO HILLIARY CLINTON)If she can overlook the four that died in Libya
(and she cried when they brought the caskets back) What a JOKE she is…
Yeah, this attitude of Hillary that is doesn’t make any difference is truly hypocritical. She and the rest of the child-killers(abortion industry) don’t seem to think that it makes any difference that more than 56 million unborn Americans, America’s future, have been slaughtered since 1973. So, why would she think the murder of the four Americans in Benghazi makes any difference. She has NO respect for human life anyhow. If they don’t respect life in the womb, they don’t respect life outside the womb, obviously.
Hillary is a khunt.
She should go crawl into one so she can be aborted
Well, MS williams,
suppose that someone chose to abort you?
would that make a difference?… It should to you, unless you choose to defend your ideology to the end.

50 schoolchildren killed by guns from 1970 – 2010 = MAJOR ISSUE …Grab the guns

Ms Williams, YOU should volunteer your life to save 1000 innocent, undefended, children.
Will you do it?
You have now confused williams with real facts and she may not be able to buy a gun….oh, my…..
okie,
That will remain her problem!
When I was in my early twenties (1968-1974) I used to not be able to see what the big argument was about. One side or the other should just give in and then we could just move on as a nation. Now I have spent the last 35 years trying to figure out what the hell I was thinking. Of course it is a form of murder (some cases worse than others). I believe it was just a case of immature thinking. Now I see that at the time I had many immature opinions. So at this time I believe the people who favor abortion are just suffering from arrested development. They are not capable of mature consideration of the matter. I don’t know how my thoughts can help change the scenario we are now seemingly stuck with. But maybe they explain something we usually think of as unexplainable.
Dear,
We agree….Youth is wasted on the young!
From your amblings I discern you are around 55.
In another 25 years you might post a thought
simply by thinking it………..
50 schoolchildren killed by gunfire = MAJOR PROBLEM… GRAB THE GUNS
50,000,000 children killed by abortion …. = NO BIG PROBLEM … carry on
I pray that in 25 years from now Roe v Wade is an ancient, but corrected, mistake.
Mary Elizabeth Williams stated an unborn baby is simply “a life worth sacrificing.” Is she admiting that abortions are human sacrifices?
obummer-poster child for retroactive abortion
These people are murderers, liars and thieves. They should not be heading up this great country. These are the putrid stink of sin and death. Obama is even called the lord of the flies, for perhaps that is what he has surrounding him.
As far as Hillary saying “…what difference does it make…” She most likely meant since they are already dead and cannot be brought back and what they were asking her did not help the situation. Most people should realize this is likely what she meant and are twisting what she said to make her look worse than she is. I do not like her at all, nor any of them, especially Obama, Jarret, Biden, Holder and Pelosi, but a falsehood is a falsehood and people should not attempt to make her look worse (if that is possible.) All I want is to see and read the truth. None of those people should be in our White House, for sure. All of this in Bengazi should have been prevented. Obama is to blame for he does not seem to care when Americans are killed. He is intent on destroying this country. WHO is doing WHAT about it? Why not. THAT is a mystery within itself.
Any people who would harm a little baby are not worth their salt. These little babies are dying because someone had sex, most of the time when they should not have been. People are worse than dogs. Even dogs and most animals, if not all try to take care of their unborn and take care of their offspring once they are born. People who do not are psychopaths of the worst order. People who can kill a defenseless baby under the lie they are not babies are headed to hell at lightening speed. Those who promote and support this are culpable. The fathers as well as the mothers are guilty of murder.
Liberal = Hypocrite
All this back and forth over the fence on human life must surely tire them out. The last I heard from the Left as justification for aborting the developing human life is that it is only a “blob of tissue”.
Really? That okays it?
Well, the developing life in the womb IS a blob of tissue.
So are elementary school children.
So are they.
So am I.
So are you.
So are we ALL.
Nobody, however, is more callous about ending life than Liberals. Only 50,000,000. Only fetuses. Only 4 people. So what?
If the Liberals can find justification for ending 4 or 50,000,000 then none of them should whine if someone else finds similar justification for ending THEIRS.
St,
Agreed
I posted elsewhere
50 kids killed by guns = MAJOR PROBLEM…GRAB THEM GUNS
50,000,000 killed by abortion……. NO BIG DEAL
Since the really have such deep belief in abortion they should try it.
Have you heard the latest from gang nobummer…. about FAIR and Balanced?
All those womb kids do not deserve unfair advantage…
So, henceforth, nobummer proclaims, by EXUKUTIV privilije,
Post fetal abortion is ok!
Go to whitehouse.gov to sign up!
I wonder if Obama’s mother thought about abortion, and why didn’t she?
Only Jesus can change a person.
…and He can only change a person if that person asks to be changed. It begins with each of using our free will.
Are you happy with the growing tyranny that you helped to sustain by not voting, which is capitulation to evil?
Perhaps it’s the dark forces that you are in league with, unwittingly.
Hate to disagree, DS, but nobody can come unto Jesus unless they are willing to change themselves first.
Whether you believe in God or not, He will judge you, as you judge others. Ms. Williams, maybe you should ponder that statement for a little while.
I couldn’t agree with you more… Great Article! Thank you!
Yea, telling the truth is “sneaky, dirty tricks”…I hope this woman begs for medical help from Barry’s bureaucrats, but they say: “So what?” to her and deny her the treatment that will save her, or give her a better quality of life for a time—as if allopathy, (the treatment of symptoms, not disease), can do either.
