So is killing a newborn the same as abortion?

Hitt again: All the abortion lies fit to reprint
Blogger Gene Miller notices the British debut of Jack Hitt’s NYT magazine piece on El Salvadoran abortion law. It appeared in the Observer this Sunday with no corrections or clarifications of its false claims about Carmen Climaco.
Climaco appears, just as in the NYT piece, as a sympathetic figure serving 30 years for having an abortion at 18 weeks when, in fact, a court ruled that she had a full-term live birth, “and the official cause of death was asphyxia by strangulation.”

Why Liberals are not "Retarded."
Retarded is a diagnosis that means slow or in most cases slow to learn. It is not really synonymous with the word “stupid.”
- Typically, someone who truly has the diagnosis of mental retardation works more than twice as hard to accomplish those tasks that come quite easily to most of us.
- Just learning to walk the proper way may take tearful sessions with a Physical Therapist at only the age of 2.
- Learning to talk might require learning not only verbal speech but sign language as well. In other words, going the extra mile just to communicate in the best way possible.
- Many people with the diagnosis of mental retardation are truly accepting of those who are different.
- Nearly all people with the diagnosis of mental retardation spend every day of their lives working toward as much personal independence and personal responsibility as possible.
:: Most Liberals on the other hand seem to give up or make excuses (or come up with new and exciting diagnoses) as to why they can’t even TRY to accomplish something. Many Liberals are not slow to learn – they refuse to TRY to learn.
:: Most Liberals believe learning to communicate in the best way possible (learning the language of the land) is unfair.
:: Most Liberals do not accept those who do not think as they do.
:: Most Liberals are afraid to be independent and definitely can’t handle being personally responsible for anything.
:: Also – Most Liberals not only think it is okay but it is THE DUTY of women to test their babies prenatally for issues like Down Syndrome and to abort that child so as to save the child from “suffering.” Right now, 9 out of 10 babies diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are aborted.
I could go on and on…but hopefully you all see where I’m coming from. I’m not really offended when people call liberals “retarded” or “tards” but I have to admit that it bothers me when you elevate them to the level of my beautiful son who happens to have Down syndrome – especially when I know how very hard he works for his accomplishments. Really – there is no comparison. So if you think a liberal is stupid – using the word “stupid” would be more meaningful than the word retarded.
More hangings in Iraq
This time it was a little more gruesome as the head of Barzan Ibrahim, Saddam’s half brother and former intelligence chief, was actually severed during the hanging. The other man hanged was Awad Hamed al-Bandar, head of Iraq’s Revolutionary Court.
Sunni leader, Khalaf al-Olayan, is outraged claiming that a head cannot be severed during a hanging and is demanding to see any video to prove that the severing happened during the hanging. It is not known if there is an official Iraqi government video of the execution this time and it’s pretty certain that there were no amateur videos either.
Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh:
Those present signed documents pledging not to violate the rules or otherwise face legal penalties. All the people present abided by the government’s rule and there were no violations. No one shouted slogans or said anything that would taint the execution. None of those charged were insulted.
It is interesting that people are up in arms about a head being severed. My daughter is learning about irony in language arts. Would this be a good example?
