Santorum Rightly Calls Out Obama Over Support For Abortion; Liberals Complain

Former Senator, Rick Santorum, is getting some attention for calling out President Obama's pro-abortion views. Of course the race obsessed Left cannot handle it when a proper comparison of race is used, like when looking at abortion. From Little Green Footballs via Politico:

In eyebrow raising comments, possible presidential hopeful Rick Santorum is questioning how President Barack Obama — as an African-American — can support abortion rights.

Santorum, a former Republican senator from Pennsylvania who is seriously considering a run for his party’s 2012 presidential nomination, argued in an interview that a fetus is a person and said he considers it “almost remarkable for a black man to say ‘now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people.’”

And how Charles Johnson chooses to introduce the story:

Religious right spokeshole Rick Santorum is in the news today for playing the race card on President Obama, by comparing legal abortions to slavery.

Moving past that and getting to the crux of Johnson's defense of abortion, notice also he has nothing to say about the infanticide doctor in Philadelphia:

That might seem pretty tone-deaf (to say the least), but this kind of talking point is very common among anti-choice fundamentalists like Santorum. They see the issue in stark black and white with no room for reasonable people to disagree, which means that people who support safe, legal abortions aren’t just mistaken or wrong — they’re evil. And evil monsters are capable of anything; slavery, mass murder, genocide, every hideous crime.

And that absolutist world-view is also what drives the periodic eruptions of violence from the more extreme anti-choice groups. If your enemies are committing mass murder of innocents on a gigantic scale, anything is justified if it stops them.

I wonder if infanticide would qualify someone as being an "evil monster"? Johnson offers no real defense of what can only be viewed as a pro-abortion position given his contempt for pro-lifers. The problem is that Liberals have adopted a racially cleansed version of eugenics. They still want the power to decide whose life is unworthy of life, only they no longer make the decision based on race. I think that is what Santorum is trying to get at. Liberals dehumanize all of humanity in the womb, something far worse if think about it. But do not look for any real analysis from Johnson, he is too busy thinking up clever names to call people like "spokeshole".
