It’s now a badge of honor to imitate a group of people who lied about a soldier’s war service. Dandy.

Stanek hits on the old nugget that Obama is for infanticide because he kept stopping an unconstitutional bill. The problem with this theory is that the pro-life movement was more interested in using the bill to beat up others instead of passing a bill that would pass Constitutional muster.

Essentially the bill didn’t include an exception for the health of the mother which is necessary for a bill to pass Constitutional muster. So instead of getting a bill with that exception, the pro-life movement insisted on passing a bill that was sure to go to the courts and get struck down. And if you opposed them? You were for infanticide.

The reality is a lot more murky with cases such as the following:

No one likes late term abortions. They are just necessary in some cases. The way to eliminate late term abortions not related to the health or life of the mother was to pass a bill that did just that. Insisting that health wasn’t a legitimate exception is what kept the bill from passing.
