A struggle of world-historical importance will take place today when the University of Alabama hosts the LSU Tigers in Tuscaloosa. Yet we who care about this existential crisis of civilization -- SEC football is rivaled only by NASCAR as an unassailable bastion of American exceptionalism -- are being forced to suffer an unwelcome distraction.

Nancy Pelosi wants a House vote on health care today, and a major motivation for her panic-struck haste is the desire to funnel taxpayer support to Abortion Inc.:

Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups have been hit hard by the economic meltdown -- seems a lot of their supporters were Bernie Madoff's friends like Jeffrey Picower -- and this is one reason there is such a frantic urgency for the "public option" on the Left.
Ann Coulter has said that abortion is the sacrament of the Church of Liberalism, and the Democrats desperately fear that they're missing opportunities to kill babies because of the funding shortage caused by the bankruptcy of their Ponzi-scheming friends. So now they want to bankrupt the rest of us to bail out the baby-killers, and trying to do it secretly by sneaking through their plan on a football Saturday.

This is not merely wrong, it's evil. Stop ObamaCare now. And Roll, Tide, Roll!

It must be nice to live in a neat bifurcated world where all actions can be easily classified as pure good or pure evil. No complications; no messy details. No morally ambiguous situations. Its a smug world where no consequences fall directly upon you for demanding the right to be able to direct critical reproductive decisions for other people. People you don't even know personally. No financial commitments, no emotional commitments, no time commitments. Nothing, really. Enjoy your moral masturbation, Mr. McCain.

Critical reproductive decisions? Fantastic, if we all call it that it won't sound as bad as murdering unborn children. Maybe if we also changed the name to expelled bodily mass it wouldn't look or smell like shit.

Mike, I am pro- choice, and I am not a conservative. I know evil from my time in the service. This bill, though it has good parts is essentially evil for what it will do to us and our country. As NASCAR illustrates, you take your friends where you find them, even if you disagree with everything else. If the likes of Dennis Kusinich or Ralph Nader should oppose this bill, they would be my friends and allies. We must destroy this monster before it consumes us. Its all that matters now.

Hey Mike, if you want to go around killing babies, there isn't much I can do to stop you. The point is, I don't want to be required by law to pay for it. If you can't see that, then who is living in this "smug world" you reference?

"Mike" is probably one of Holder's blog propogandists paid with OUR tax $.

Abortion is the killing of a human. I don't use the M word because there are so many women who have been the victims of this liberal lie, let alone this racial hatred as the very group targeted by abortion is the one whose population has remained almost stagnant. Shame!

If it's a human, then let's take it out of a woman and see if it can live! A baby is one thing, but a fetus in the first 4 months or so? Please.

Jim Hlavac| 11.7.09 @ 6:47PM

By analogy:
If it's human, let's take it out of earth's atmosphere and see if it can live! A human is one thing, but a grown one in the first 40 years of life or so? Please!
If it's a child, let's take it out of the protective family and see if it can live! A human is one thing, but a child who is only four years old? Please.
Oh yeah, that's right, a fetus is just a mini-human-me -- for there is absolutely nothing else it can be. Take a thing out of its protective environment and killing it by mere change in location is killing nonetheless.

Sam,

Fetus is Latin for "unborn baby", Einstein.
