Abortion Champion Wendy Davis: “I’m Pro-Life”
Texas state senator and gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis, who became the darling of the abortion lobby after her filibuster of the Texas bill banning abortions after 20 weeks, has declared that she is “pro-life.”
Huh. Really?
No, not really.
What she said is this:
“I am pro-life. I care about the life of every child: every child that goes to bed hungry, every child that goes to bed without a proper education, every child that goes to bed without being able to be a part of the Texas dream, every woman and man who worry about their children’s future and their ability to provide for that future. I care about life and I have a record of fighting for people above all else.”
Of course, what she meant is this:
“I’m running for governor here in Texas, so I have to pretend I’m something I’m not because it just won’t do to get up in front of a crowd in a socially conservative state and proclaim that it’s okay to kill people as long as they are really small and inconvenient for you.”
It’s certainly not a new tactic for defenders of atrocities to change the meanings of words in order to hide the reality of the horrors they support, but this is pretty bold for Wendy Davis to just march right out and declare herself the complete opposite of what she is.
I wonder how it would have gone over if some other people had used the Wendy Davis approach…

“Christianus meum est…or something. Just get in the Colosseum.”

“How!”

“I’m a Hobbit!”

“No, I’m a Hobbit!”

“What can I be?”

“You could be an Ewok or something.”

“I’m an Ewok!”

“I’m gay!”

“I knew it!”
