The last time Mike Adams and I hit the same subject the same day in our Townhall columns, UNC-Chapel Hill’s favorite administrator was failing to resolve supposed “tension” of the First Amendment again (a stupid excuse for tyrannizing speech that NC State’s leaders have since picked up); i.e., he was arguing that the sight of a cross in a nearly 400-year-old church was offensive to the First Amendment, but the sight of 200-pound strippers wasn’t.
This time, it’s over the post-birth abortion at the Florida clinic. Mike writes from a criminal-justice perspective, concluding with several questions asking what the doctor should be charged with, why, and what it would mean.
I write from the perspective that perhaps the reason this is a big deal is that it
exposes the abortion movement’s big lie: that a baby “isn’t a baby” till it’s born.
In abortion doctrine, when a “tumor of the womb” passes through the birth canal into the open air, it suddenly becomes a living child. This Miracle of Transpostvagination is a great mystery and must be, can only be accepted by faith. A true believer cannot allow himself to doubt that life occurs only after birth and not a moment before. Such doubt would lead to a moral crisis of great proportions. A practitioner of abortion who realizes he doesn’t know when life begins is in danger of becoming a monster in his own eyes.
