A Logical Progression

I read an article today about a 6-month-old infant being thrown from a 6th floor apartment window in New York City.  She is the third such death in New York City in as many months.  I can't say that I'm surprised.  Well, maybe I'm a little surprised that New York City is the only place where it is happening.

The current trend is only an outgrowth of the recent disclosure through videos of the Planned Parenthood practice of 'harvesting' not only fetuses, but human babies who have traversed the birth canal and are all-but-born.  After all, if we can decide to kill them at the moment of birth, why should we stop there?  Some people might make the decision to 'terminate the pregnancy' a few months after birth, and what's to stop them?  We're told that there's no value to the first nine months of human life - the pre-breathing period!

Oh, I forgot to mention that those videos were 'heavily edited'.  That is Liberal-speak for 'they were reduced from an hour in length to 5-to-10 minutes to capture the germane facts', but let's not quibble over semantics, shall we.  There is little doubt that the practice is a daily one, and 'harvesting' is a good way of describing what Planned Parenthood is doing - growing crops of humans in the womb and then plucking the fruit for its ripe tissue.

I'm not sure with what crime the authorities should charge the woman in the above cited article.  Is it really murder, or should the charge be 'failure to recycle', as in failure to allow the harvesting of usable cells?

Why are we shocked that some people have taken our callous opinion of  what constitutes a human being and applied it to their own miserable situation?  And what's to stop us from applying the same logic to those elderly people who have lost their value; especially those who have dementia, Alzheimer's, or are otherwise unable to think for and care for themselves.  Look for articles about people throwing their elderly parents out of  high windows or off bridges in the near future.

Where does it stop? Hmmm?

(Now that I've opened the wound, I do hope you will realize that I am attempting to be facetious and satirical, and that I DO NOT condone the practice of throwing anyone out of a sixth-floor window.  Just so we're clear on that.  And, since I'm now in serious mode, I got to thinking that maybe my title for this column gave me insight into what the modern term, 'Progressive', as applied to some politicians, really means.)
