Lately we've seen liberals up in arms, foaming at the mouth about the mistreatment of the likes of KSM or Abu Zubaydah. Yet laws passed during the Bush administration lay out unprecedented rights of due process for the most vicious killers known to man: Vicious killers who gleefully violate every law and every right of man and nation-state. All detainees have the right to challenge their detention in federal court. They have numerous due process rights during their tribunal, and they have the right to appeal a tribunal's conviction. America has bathed our would-be murderers in a vast spa of Constitutional rights - the likes of which no honorable, law-abiding enemy POW ever received in any other American war.
Abortion is the arbitrary killing of an unborn innocent human being, who has been denied any due process rights.
I find it starkly amazing that anyone could find it deplorable that we might harm a single hair on a bloodthirsty terrorist's head without due process rights at every step, and yet they don't bat an eye when we de-brain a viable fetus in the birth canal. Do you suppose that that fetus wanted to have its skull punctured? It's brain vacuumed out? Shouldn't we at least hold a single little hearing - to determine if the health/convenience of the mother overrides the baby's right to life?
Liberals: Can we please have a little consistency here?
