Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. That's physics. Or some sort of basic high school science (I'll be the first to admit that wasn't my specialty at Ottawa Hills). And I know just enough about it to know that it's true in the natural world. Its often true in everyday life too. It's the reason you don't tug on Superman's cape. Why you do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. Because our actions have consequences. That's what the Tick would call the "karma tornado."

Posted at 8:22am on May 28, 2008 MI Morning Update: MI Dems Trying to Have it Both Ways on PBA - Obama's Auschwitz Remark - McCain Running New Ad in MI

MORNING UPDATE:
PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS...an oxymoron. Pro-life Democrats are playing games with a bill to stop partial birth abortions (SB 776), even though there is overwhelming, bipartisan support for this bill in the House...they pass the bill with no enforcement provisions. So when a Democrat tells you they are against taxes and for life...they are probably lying on both accounts! Their record speaks for themselves.

Posted at 11:20am on Feb. 18, 2008 To the left of Hillary [UPDATED]
By Erick
Hillary and Barack are scrambling to get to the left of John Edwards on a host of issues, but there is one issue on which Barack Obama has been consistently to the left of Hillary Clinton — the birth of children.
In partial birth abortion, a baby is born while the doctors are careful to leave the child partially in the birth canal. Then an incision is made in the back of the baby's head and its brains are vacuumed out. The child, being old enough, is aware and feeling.
Throughout his political career, Barack Obama has been a supporter of the procedure.
In 2004, as a candidate Barack Obama sent out a fundraising appeal against it.
U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls.Michelle called partial-birth abortion "a legitimate medical procedure," and wouldn't supporters please pay $150 to attend a luncheon for her husband, who would fight against "cynical ploy[s]" to stop it?
In 2003, while in the Illinois legislature, Barack Obama chaired the Illinois Senate committee that dealt with the Born Alive Infant Protection Act ("BAIPA"), a measure beyond the PBA that any sane person should support. The act mandating live saving medical treatment for infants born alive, as some children are born even though an abortion has been attempted. Obama refused to allow the committee to consider the legislation. He *refused* a hearing and shelved the legislation.
That's to the left of Hillary Clinton's position and NARAL's position, which was neutral on consideration of the BAIPA.*
And some of you people would rather Obama than John McCain. Pitiful.
*Updated: As SIConservative notes here, I made the mistake of equating the PBA and BAIPA. Clinton, Ted Kennedy, etc. supported the BAIPA, though Obama opposed it. Both Clinton and Obama opposed the PBA. I have fixed the post to resolve the confusion and correct the error.
Put another way, Hillary and Obama agree that until a baby is fully from the womb, it can be slaughtered. But, Hillary believes that once the baby is all the way out, you cannot slaughter it. Obama disagrees and supports killing fully born children.

Posted at 9:07am on Jan. 8, 2008 Court won't save partial birth abortion ban tossing it back to the Legislature and the Governor

The Grand Rapids Press reports that the United States Supreme Court opted not to hear an appeal to a lower court ruling throwing out Michigan's ban on the barbaric killing procedure known as partial birth abortion.
An appeals court tossed the law last summer claiming that by banning a procedure which involves delivering a living human baby feet first, shoving a pair of scissors into the base of the kid's neck, sliding a suction tube directly into his brain and then turning on a vacuum, pumping out his grey matter and crushing his skull (while he fights and moves and kicks and flails his little arms) the legislature might have also accidentally banned other killing methods. And we couldn't have that, could we. I mean, as a civilized people we absolutely have to protect neat little tricks like these. After all, it's science. Or something.
