Mendacity

January 26, 2010 by Gerard M. Nadal

It is not the purpose of this blog to side blindly with political parties. Whenever a party espouses legislation that promotes life, then that party ought to be supported. However, when candidates for office betray certain genocidal proclivities, especially in the run-up to the primaries, then it is incumbent upon people of good will to do all that they can to find a more humane candidate.

This today from Yahoo News:

COLUMBIA, S.C. – When things looked their darkest for Gov. Mark Sanford — when he was in danger of being impeached for running off to Argentina to see his mistress — his best insurance policy may well have been South Carolina’s lieutenant governor, Andre Bauer.
Lawmakers knew if they removed Sanford, they would end up with Bauer, a fiercely ambitious Republican with a reputation for reckless and immature behavior.
Now Bauer has folks shaking their heads again, after he likened government assistance to the poor to feeding stray animals.
At a town hall meeting Thursday, Bauer, who is running for governor in his own right now that Sanford is term-limited, said: “My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that.”

This guy needs to be repudiated by the RNC the way David Duke was.

    While we’re on the subject of politicians… Let me alert you evil new lgislation, called “Concerning Limited Service Pregnancy Centers” (HB 2837) (SB 6452) http://www.protectpregnancycenters.blogspot.org will tell you all you do not want to know about who’s really pro-choice.
    Another woman died Monday due to a botched abortion in New York City. A 37-year old, single mother of 4, the abortionist severed an artery.

    I’m afraid the link doesn’t lead to the article cited, only to a general blogspot.org recruiting screen. However, you did provide the bill numbers, so they were easy to google. I mostly share your concern about these bills. NARAL is treating the fact that someone offers services with different motivation and persepctive than their own as suspect and blameworthy. I don’t suppose that Planned Parenthood has a prominently posted disclosure that their clinics do not offer counselling in natural family planning, or that they will advocate abortion in the even of a positive pregnancy test. Just because abortion is not a criminal offense does not mean that everybody has to offer the procedure.

    I might be inclined to tweak EVERYONE with strong partisan loyalties on all or both sides by proposing a law requiring any facility offering any clinincal services related to pregnancy to prominently post a list of the services they DO provide and the commonly accepted medical and social support services they do NOT provide. That would be fair and equitable, and clear up in a well balanced way any need for women who are assumed to be completely clueless to have their rights as consumers fully protected. I expect most women who go to Birthright know exactly where they are going and why. There are posters all over the NYC subways, among other places.

    Of course the problem with my counter-proposal is that it would take several pages to adequately and comprehensively define what are “commonly accepted medical and social services.” Without tight definitions, there would be all kinds of ambiguity to fuel several decades of inflammatory litigation.

    Briefly getting back to the original post, I agree on Bauer, mostly because he has the audacity to compare human beings to stray animals. I have in fact held objections to individuals who feed stray animals, which can create a significant public nuisance and health hazard in the neighborhood. Animals which cannot sustain themselves in the wild either need a human being fully committed to feeding, caring for, and cleaning up after them (which many humans are committed to doing, at least for their own beloved pet), or, they need to be removed, even sometimes put to sleep. That’s animals, not human beings. There is a difference.
