Democrats, abortion and right-wing extremism

When the federal government warns of "right-wing extremism" and defines the characteristic of such as "It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration ... " reasonable people everywhere must sound the alarm. This is a warning sign that something's gone dreadfully wrong.

Opposition to abortion is a sign of right-wing extremism?

If there is any extremism going on in the debate over abortion in this country, it is coming from the left and, not to put too fine a point on it, from President Obama and the Democratic Party. What else do you call a president and a party that supports the "once an abortion always an abortion" concept. The very idea that it is OK to make no to effort to save a baby because it was mistakenly born during a botched abortion is almost hard to imagine.

Yet, that's what Obama thinks and supports with the full force of the federal government. And, if you think we're talking about first trimester abortions in which an inch-long undeveloped fetus squirms for a few minutes and then is disposed of, you'd be sadly mistaken. I know of one case in Las Vegas in which a late-term abortion resulted in a potentially viable and fully developed fetus/baby. Nurses initially rushed the fetus/baby to neo-natal, but when the abortion doctor discovered what had happened, he ordered the fetus/baby out of neo-natal and put him in a closed room where it took hours for the "abortion" to die.

To further that "once an abortion, always an abortion" agenda along Obama has appointed Kathleen Sebelius to head the Health and Human Services Department. Although a Roman Catholic (and I don't see how she reconciles that) she's a staunch and unapologetic abortion advocate. If you read this Tuesday's Review-Journal, you no doubt saw the AP story on page 6A in which Sebelius "misstated" the amount of money she received from Dr. George "The Baby Killer" Tiller, a doctor who proudly aborts late-term, viable babies. She said under oath before the U.S. Senate that Tiller gave her $12,450 in campaign contributions between 1994 and 2001. She now says that she had the number wrong and that she actually received at least three times that amount from the "good" doctor.

The point of all this is not to underscore another Obama appointee with confirmation difficulties (nothing new there), but to point out that from a political and moral standpoint how far America has embraced the "abortion uber alles" mindset as espoused by the Democratic Party. Even Nevada's senior senator, Harry Reid, who is a member of the pro-life Mormon church, has become abortion tolerant federal official.

It is stunning to watch -- people who on Sunday go to a church that fundamentally holds abortion as wrong, then work Monday through Saturday to facilitate that practice?

Or, by pointing this out am I just another name to add to the government's right-wing extremist list?
