The Lunatic Fringe

Following on the heels of Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Kirsten Gillebrand’s preposterous statement equating those of us who are pro-life with racists, a fake gringa representing the 35th Congressional District in California said on the House floor, “Mr. Speaker, it is tiring to hear from so many sex-starved males on this floor talk about a woman’s right to choose.”

That moronic comment came from Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA) during a debate on a spending bill for the Department of Health and Human Services.  Rep. Ross Spano (R-FL) opposed the legislation pointing out it weakened protections against federal tax dollars being used to fund abortions.  Spano said, “For more than 40 years, this country operated under the policy that not one cent of taxpayer money can be used to fund abortion. We are a nation that deeply values religious liberty.” 
In March of 2013, Alisa Lapolt Snow, a lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, testified before the Florida House to oppose a law requiring abortionists to provide care for babies born alive during botched abortions in the starkest terms possible. 

Snow told the Florida legislature that if a child is born alive during a botched abortion, its survival “should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician.”

In response to the new abortion law in Georgia and legislation in Alabama, National Public Radio restated its long-standing guidance regarding abortion and related topics.

“One thing to keep in mind about this law and others like it: Proponents refer to it as a ‘fetal heartbeat’ law. That is their term. It needs to be attributed to them if used and put in quotation marks if printed. We should not simply say the laws are about when a ‘fetal heartbeat’ is detected. As we've reported, heartbeat activity can be detected ‘about six weeks into a pregnancy.’ That's at least a few weeks before an embryo is a fetus.”

“The term ‘unborn’ implies that there is a baby inside a pregnant woman, not a fetus. Babies are not babies until they are born. They’re fetuses. Incorrectly calling a fetus a ‘baby’ or ‘the unborn’ is part of the strategy used by anti-abortion groups to shift language/legality/public opinion.”

Joy Pullman, mother of five and Executive Editor of The Federalist noted, “…since newspersons deal in daily atrocity and gore from the likes of wars, famines, and hurricanes, it’s hard to understand why they all drive out to gawk at the law-breaking foreigners Americans feed, give medical care to, clothe, protect, and transport, but want to stay as far away as possible from other vulnerable people our society allows to have their heads mortally pierced with scissors or a scalpel inside their own mother’s wombs.”

It would appear Torres alienated her constituents well before yesterday’s reprehensible remarks:
