Ace of Spades HQ:
Pretty Horrifying: It's a 200+ page read but they're short pages and it reads, yeah, like a horror movie, except it's real, and except that there will in fact be apologists for it.


I didn't dare follow the link. The excerpts were enough to almost make me vomit, which hasn't happened since I saw the napalm scene in We Were Soldiers.

How can anyone possibly defend this? What sane person who has even a gram's worth of love for their fellow man could think this horror needed to continue, year after year? I sincerely wish all of them could be fried slowly to death, from that vile excuse for a doctor all the way up the chain to the lazy scum in the Pennsylvania state government who knew what was going on and didn't lift a finger to stop it, even after a woman died in this charnel house. Shit, I'd pedal the bicycle myself to power the electric chair.

"Safe, legal and rare" my ass. This is straight-up genocide. The only difference is that nobody's flying over the ghettos and barrios and dropping cluster bombs; they're doing it one baby at a time. Probably the best comment on this whole wretched mess, from Oldcat at AOSHQ:

They said we needed to legalize abortion to avoid dingy, dirty back alley operations that would result. Looks like we kept them anyway.


EDIT: Props to [livejournal.com profile] polaris93, who beat me to the punch on this.

No sort of abuse of human beings by members of the medical profession surprises me.

Bear in mind who perpetrated the worst atrocities of the Holocaust.

The Soviets, actually, but for some reason they get a pass from most folks. :(

Well, yes, but I meant more specifically. The worst war criminals were all MDs.

Very strange, considering that "first, do no harm" part of the Hippocratic Oath, no?

I'm reminded of an old Freak Brothers cartoon:

"I've shot lots of people! It doesn't hurt!"

Indeed. Gilbert Shelton, where are you when we need you?
