Cognitive Dissonance From The New York Times

By Rob on April 19, 2007 at 12:38 pm

Today’s Recommended Daily Allowance of cognitive dissonance comes courtesy of The New York Times‘ editorial page, which (1) denounces the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding a ban on partial-birth abortion, and (2) laments that New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, recently injured in a traffic mishap, was not wearing his seat belt as required by state law.

In short, women have a right to control their own bodies—but motor-vehicle occupants don’t.

I’d argue that, in a partial-birth abortion, we aren’t talking about a part of a woman’s body so much as we’re talking about a separate person who is pulled mere inches from being completely separate from the woman’s body before being murdered.

But the larger point here is true. Liberals like liberty, as long as it’s the type of liberty they like.

The Democrat Party has always held clearly contradictory positions on every issue under the sun, with Billy Jeff being a Master at taking 360 sides to absolutely every issue; and he convinced most Americans that he only took one position - the same one they held to be true.

Surely the Democrat Party (liberals) are The Congitive Dissonance Party?

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

You omitted the fact that his driver who was wearing a seatbelt walked away from the accident unhurt.

Partial-birth abortion has nothing to do with a woman’s right to control her own body. Don’t kid yourself here - the entire procedure is structured in such a way as to avoid murder. The baby is mere inches from being born.

I do not condone or approve partial birth abortion, and agree with the SCOTUS ruling.
I was answering Rob’s statetement.
