This is For Wendy Davis and Those Who Stand With Her

Wendy Davis stood for a good long spell to filibuster a bill that would only prohibit abortions after 20 weeks.  But what was she really standing for?

Despite the fact that contraception is widely available and in many places forcibly free. Despite taxpayer-funded family planning that in some places starts in grade school. Despite taxpayer or forced coverage for planning clinics, pamphlets, and counselors. Despite the wildly wealthy and successful Planned Parenthood, with all their money for lobbying congress and all their profit from which but a tiny sliver (according to them) is actually raised from performing abortions. And despite having had 20 weeks (an entire regular NFL season) to figure out if you needed or wanted an abortion – Wendy Davis and those who are standing with her will not tolerate any effort to save that persons tiny helpless little life…after 20 weeks.

So what if a baby can survive outside the womb, grow up, be a friend or loved one, and contribute something to society?   Ending that life is not murder to them. Those are not the lives or the children Democrats are interested in saving. But they are lives and they are children and they are worth saving.

Two videos.

One is Even babies know it’s a baby.  (Wait until the government school fixes that wagon.)  The second is an old public interest story about a High School kid who plays the drums and is a huge sports fan.  The kid if Jeff Balek.  He has been blind since birth.  He is now 33 and has been playing drums in a band with his dad.  Jeff was born premature, by the way – at 23 weeks.

That video, in particular, is for those of you Standing with Wendy.  While you watch why don’t you try to figure out how many ‘Jeff’s’ never got to live their life because you’ve been standing with people like Wendy.
