Obama Proposes Major Expansion of Abortion Rights

In his quest to continue fighting against the GOP's War on Womyn which he serendipitously discovered during the 2012 campaign, President Obama today proposed a major new expansion of Abortion Rights for Womyn.

The centerpiece of the new campaign is the legalization of so-called very, very, very late-term, aka "retroactive" abortions, which some deem controversial as they lead to a fetus being aborted long after it has left the womb, in most cases up to a century or more.

"This is of great value to society," said Dr. U. Jenics, abortion rights advocate at the University of Deth at Goolag. "Many incurable diseases, such as climate change denial syndrome or chronic gun ownership, do not manifest themselves until well after birth. Why should womyn and/or society be forced to care for these sad, hopeless cases?"

Dr. Jenics cited a recent story from the AP in which caring experts, frustrated by the futility of trying to treat diseases such as smoking and overeating, posited that a more viable option would be to simply let them expire. He proposed going the caring experts one better: "Why wait for their diseases to kill them? It would be more humane to simply abort the fetuses retroactively."

"Besides", continued Dr. Jenics, "now that the government is providing free universal healthcare as well as meeting all our other needs, they can't afford to waste their time fretting over a few sick people."

Critics charge that retroactive abortions are nothing more than thinly-disguised euthanasia, or "mercy killing."

"Nonsense!", says Dr. Jenics, noting that many advanced societies employed retroactive abortions to cull their populations of terminally-ill patients who were impeding social progress. "Humanity cannot move forward if it is going to be squeamish and puritanical about doing what needs to be done."

"As someone once said, you have to abort chicken fetuses to make omelets!" he quipped.

At a press conference announcing the new proposal, a reporter quoted a recent article by state-approved journalist John Dickerson of CBS, which urged the president to "Go for the throat" and "declare war on the Republican Party" and asked if the new legislation is in reality his plan to do so, literally.

"You must be insane," replied Press Secretary Jay Carney, telling the assembled reporters that "this is exactly the type of diseased thinking that we hope the expansion of abortion rights will rid us of!"

Civility experts writing at major newspapers wryly noted the hypocrisy inherent in critcs' complaints. "It's OK for Sarah Palin to 'target' politicians that don't agree with her radical agenda", quipped one NY Times columnist, "but President Obama's desire to rid the country of mental illness is somehow some kind of 'death squad'."

"Reminds me of the old children's story, The Racist Who Cried 'Nazi!'", chortled another.

Controversial or not, legislative experts expect the new legislation to pass easily through Congress. "ObamaCare is the law of the land but it is also badly flawed", noted one Capitol Hill insider. "The public would not accept 'taking the pain pill' as a path to cost reduction but will not put up with us taking back free stuff once it has been proffered. Retroactive abortions are the only solution to the budgetary mess we've made."

"Presenting it this way, as a new additional benefit, is an excellent way to get the important interest groups on board. In the end, nobody will complain about receiving a new government benefit. Nobody who's sane, anyway."

No use having those billion Homeland Security bullets (and 7k personal defense weapons that are not assault weapons because bought by the guvmint) sitting around collecting dust. All those rethuglikkan gun-toting bible-clingingers smoke and/or are fat ... right?

I wonder, Comrade Opiate, if His Highness will set up a Web link where I can submit nominations for these RA's?

I remember last summer when these DHS ammo solicitations were considered "conspiracy theories" by most people I spoke with at the time. Lol, I saw one of them at the gun show this weekend; he's not so sure it's a theory anymore.

While not really humorous, Philip K. Dick had something to say about retroactive abortion and abortion rights in his story, The Pre-Persons.

“When you eat yourself to death, you're pretty much just harming yourself,” S. Jay Olshansky, a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago's School of Public Health, said.

But that viewpoint doesn't factor in the burden to everyone else of paying for the diabetes care, heart surgeries and other medical expenses incurred by obese people, John Cawley, a health economist at Cornell University, noted.

“Your freedom is likely to be someone else's harm,” said Daniel Callahan, senior research scholar at a bioethics think-tank, the Hastings Center.

And to the collectivist that is an argument for more collectivism. Society simply can't afford the terrible externalities of freedom. It's all so very logical.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

You damn commies have a million and one rationalizations for why we can't live in a free society.

I wonder what Daniel Callahan's opinion will be when his beet ration is cut in half - the third time - for the good of the people.
