“And Mark Shea is on the side of the lie:“

In other news, water found to be wet.

The woke virus has completely consumed Shea.
It’s gross.
He would be a gollem if in LOTR

Note that Mark doesn’t actually deal with facts. He accuses pro-life individuals who think doing this of malice and wicked intentions. I notice that is a big trick with the Left. Arguments are seldom about facts, but about the real, ulterior motives of those who don’t conform.

I seem to recall ca. 2006 one of his forensic tricks was to put words into people’s mouths (“What you’re saying…”).

This man was once employed by The Wall Street Journal, the Bush White House, National Review, and AEI

Hand her some matches and a shovel and pat her on the back for next time Mark. What part of “woman kills her own child, burns and buries the child” does he not comprehend?

What is wrong with our society?!?
We are literally making a bigger deal out of desecration of a body than the premeditated manslaughter. (Murder requires too much understanding by the offender.)
In a clinical abortion, would that child’s body have received any better treatment?
It’s as if we were excusing the treason but prosecuting for the misuse of government letterhead.
If this is the best we can muster, perhaps we deserve the contempt of the left.

Art, that’s about right. That was when he was beginning to move to ‘I’m not part of any tribe/a pox on both houses.’ Before that, he would ban you for making false accusations or calling names or such. But it was then, around mid 2000s, I began to notice his ‘let me tell you what you really mean’ attacks emerge. Now that’s his basic schtick. He doesn’t defend abortion or sex changes on minors. Or this. He simply attacks the supposed ulterior motives of those trying to stop it.

You have the left manufacturing an abortion lie that never happened and the same left taking a documented happening about the Bidens and denying that it exists. Sounds about par for the course.

Mr. Shea calls to mind the line by John Wayne in the film “McClintock”: “Somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won’t…” etc. 😉

We? I’m not seeing anyone doing that TBO … I see the left once again trying to gin up outrage against republicans by presenting a false narrative (a lie in laymen’s terms) for the purpose of manipulating the electorate, and some on the right trying to correct the narrative. Should we not and just let them fearmonger support for future pro-abortion legislation?

Shea has been on an extended tirade at his STH site lately. He’s in an absolute frenzy about what he calls the MAGA cult. He’s lashing out at what he calls conservatives who won’t support Francis’s social justice ideas. He has become so full of hatred and anger, I’m surprised his family is still with him.

He has become so full of hatred and anger, I’m surprised his family is still with him.

His children are ages 23-38 or thereabouts. Mrs. Shea allowed her CNA license to lapse a number of years ago, so she’s retired or perhaps working p/t retail. Per the Public Records Index, there’s a house associated with their name in Snohomish County, Washington. Per Redfin, that house has had the same owner since 1992. Spelunking about, I found a handsome picture of Mrs. Shea posted online a couple of years back. He’s seated next to her.

I’m told people’s online persona can be jarringly different from their meatspace persona. Wouldn’t know, myself. The online ranting may blow off enough steam that he’s easier to handle elsewhere. And it wouldn’t surprise me to discover his family never reads it.

Note that the reasoning that Shea uses can be employed to excuse literally any crime.

“Anti-theft advocates claim to view criminals as human, but they still support jailing robbers who had to endure the terrifying experience of being chased out of a home by the owners. They simply want vengeance, and all because the robbers do not share their metaphysics of property rights.”

But at the same time, such reasoning will never be used to keep people who walked into the capitol on January 6th out of jail. It’s empty rhetoric, meant to sound like something profound but in reality meaning only “you should be upset when my allies run into trouble.”

Good point.

Where is the father of the aborted child? Lost in action? Susan B. Anthony wants to know.
When Magdalene was about to be stoned: where was the man? Moses said both taken in adultery were to be stoned.
Really?

In the last couple of years, I have learned about a group of Evangelicals who call themselves abortion abolitionists. These people seriously do want every woman who has any abortion prosecuted for murder as well as the doctor. They make a claim for equal treatment under the law in order to justify this. And these abolitionists despise & attack anyone in the prolife movement who disagrees with them about the prosecutions of the murder.

Sorry. I meant to say the prosecutions of the “mother.”

These abolitionists are making progress slowly but surely in the legislative realm in several states.

DONALD R. MCCLAREY quote…”who call themselves abortion abolitionists. They do the work of the pro-aborts”.
You just made yourself an enemy of the unborn by identifying pro-lifers as pro-aborts.
