Dem Delegates & Supporters On Video: We’re Really Pro-Choice…Unless It Involves Food, School, or Union Choice

Sep. 5, 2012 2:57pm Becket Adams

The official Democratic Party platform “strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay,” Reason TV reminds us.

Anyone who watched day one of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., knows this isn’t just some strongly-worded political talk. The Democrat Party has gone all-in on the whole “pro-choice” thing.

But Reason TV wanted to know more about the party and its platform. Just what do they mean when they say “choice”?

What they found was a little puzzling. What they found were members of a party who strongly support “choice” — unless it involves food, light bulbs, right-to-work legislation or school choice:

Exit Quote: “I’m pro-intervention.”

100 of 100 babies prefer life to abortion! Murder shouldn’t be a choice!

  Ah, the irony though. So, a woman has the right to choose to murder another human being yet not to murder herself through obesity or unhealthiness? Useful idiots…all of them!

  And the worst thing:
  
  Useful idiots will never figure out that they are useful idiots. It’s what makes them useful and idiots at the same time.
  
  And all should know that useful idiots exist in the Democrat and the Republican Parties at the same percentages and are being played to the same end.
  
  Everyone should be doing a bit of reflecting.
  
  Everyone.

  Based on progressive logic abortion is healthier than large sodas.

  It’s like the large, black woman said, you should have the right to make healthy choices. As you’re aware, killing babies is very healthy for them.

  With the exception (have to add the caveat) rape and incest, the woman made a choice. Abortion is her admission that she did not like her choice.

  They’re okay with the government taking away choices if they don’t find the choice important or if it doesn’t affect them personally. They don’t realize that Progressivism is about taking people’s rights incrementally – the Overton window. Eventually, they would give up all their rights to their god, the government.

  The Babies are with the Lord. The Lord says it would be better for the Murderers of these little ones to have a millstone around their necks, and sunk in the depths of the ocean. There is a SPECIAL hot place reserved for them. I pray those that have killed babies will repent and ask for forgiveness.

  Liberals banish choice. I’d like to be able to choose where my kids go to school like Obamas did.My husband and I have worked wtihout ceasing and paid taxes for almost 30 years, but we can’t choose our kids schools because of liberals like the Obama’s. Democrats are SUPPOSEDLY “pro-choice”, yet they won’t allow choice in: food/drink; education for their children/school choice; right to bear arms to protect your family; light bulbs, right-to-work legislation; right to be a Judeo-Christian; right to believe the Bible; right to believe God created, etc. They discriminate against my right to choose to believe that killing an innocent baby is murder and wrong. Tthe irony. So, a woman has the right to choose to murder another human being yet not to murder herself through obesity or unhealthiness? 100 of 100 babies prefer their right to life and not abortion! Murder shouldn’t be a choice! Abortion is not “heatlhcare” it is killing, i.e. snuffing out a life. Abortion is not a “reproductive right”. It is diametrically opposed to “reproducing”. Only 1% of abortions are due to rape or incest. Punish the rapist, not the innocent child. And all Akin was saying was…if you say, all abortions due to rape are free to you, i.e. paid for by taxpayer (most of them unwilling to pay for it and have that blood on their hands), then the majority of females are incentivized to lie and say they were raped. Then us taxpayers will be stuck paying for millions abortions & have that

“People should only be allowed to make the choices that have good results.” I wonder what aborted babies would have to say about that or post-abortive women who suffer so much as they realize took the life of their child and haven’t yet found peace from healing brought only from the Lord Jesus Christ.

I used to say that I was going to create t-shirt or bumper sticker that says:

“Pro-choice….. when it comes to education.”

I used to teach in public schools so I have lots of opinions about them!

Add your “choice in firearms” to the list, too. They seem to be back on their “assault weapons ban” kick again. I *hate* these people. I know I shouldn’t hate anyone, but when you’re constantly worried about what they’re going to take from you next — that’s not America. That’s a state of fear. We should not be living in fear of the government’s whims and desires. Democrats, you are the Anti-America. You stand for just about everything *except* American principles of liberty, free choice and self-determination.

  I say they can go ahead and ban them.
  
  Anyone who knows how to use one responsibly likely already has one. If they don’t, they are not all that responsible because a responsible person has seen the eventual re-ban coming for decades. A ban will just artificially inflate the prices for those of us who have already invested, meaning if push comes to sell, we’ve got a goldmine. Our worse, if push comes to shove, we’ve got a defense that even money won’t be able to compete with and these lefties’ only option will be to shove with below average IQ and flawed intellectual capability.
  
  So go ahead, let’em ban’em…

The “I’m pro-intervention” is the sickest quote here. Genocide of unborn babies due to government allowing murder is the worst kind of intervention and it’s caused by government willfully and intentionally not giving enough information about abortion to those who they want it to be used upon.

They should have asked when they said a woman should be able to choose what she does with her body if she should be able to sell a kidney. Of course the answer is no. So then that argument holds no water either.

They are totalitarians, through and through. And they vote. And there are more of them than us. And they win and load courts full of people who are totalitarians. And those judges ignore the constitution. We aren’t losing…we lost.

It’s time to secede.

  It is WE who vastly outnumber THEM.
  
  You just don’t hear from those on our side as much because they’re the ones spending most of their time at jobs and building businesses instead of at protests and conventions, or giving interviews.
  
  Don’t believe the Progressive propaganda.
  
  I wonder if they’ll allow bear-hunting in Detroit this hunting season, seeing as how bears (and packs of feral dogs) are roaming wild in the huge deserted/abandoned areas of Detroit that are returning to fields & forests these days?

  I am a woman and I am very well aware that when I choose to have sex, my body is now shared. That I can become pregnant is a result that I am aware of; and if do become pregnant, my body ceases to be my body alone. That is the beauty and the awesomeness of life. I am tired of the “it’s my body, I can do what I want with it” garbage.

The Blaze is still getting it wrong and letting the Progressive Left frame the position.

As correctly noted the Progressive Left is all about letting our infinitely wise superiors make decisions for us. One of those decisions is that women NEED birth control and abortions because they are expected to perform sex without commitment, support, or reliable income. They are expected to be dependent upon the government.

So-called Pro-Choice is exactly the same non-choice as light bulbs, energy, housing, etc. Its a decision the Progressive Left are making for women.

  but polar bears do not have that choice… we must protect unborn polar bears at the cost of babies as we are forced to pay for the so called global warming, instead of letting people earn that money in their business and raise their own babies. Is this the kind of human- logic that you can really justify, democrats?!!

It’s okay to kill a fetus. But if you are making the choice to consume sugar, trans fats, or none union education, reg. light bulbs, you are making the wrong choices? As soon as they see what utility bills and taxes are to be under 4 more yrs of Obama, these will be the loudest to cry foul.
