Of license plates and pain

There is currently a tale of two tiffs on the pro-life/pro-abortion front in America.  Each points to just how distracted and downright depraved the pro-abortion side is.

I hope these two images look as ridiculous side-by-side as they should.

In Virginia, AP reports:

Abortion-rights advocates have been unable to halt the “Choose Life” license plate variations in nearly two-dozen states, so now they’re working to balance the bumper debate.

Activists are pushing a “Trust Women/Respect Choice” license plate in Virginia, which would become only the fourth state to offer a pro-choice plate and the first to require legislative approval for it. Supporters have threatened to sue if lawmakers don’t give drivers the option.

In Nebraska, pro-life leaders there are backing legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks gestation based on the ability of the unborn child to feel pain, and by all accounts they are succeeding.  Senator Mike Flood introduced this legislation on January 21 when he explained:

“The latest science on fetal pain is clear: after 20 weeks, and perhaps even earlier, unborn babies feel pain. All the essential components to feel pain are there. They react to invasive procedures like we do. There is a spike in stress hormones; their bodies shunt blood flow to the brain to protect it from threat. Today, in light of our increased medical understanding, doctors use anesthesia when they perform fetal surgery, when they remove lung tumors, clear urinary tracts, and carry out other procedures. These surgeries that were once thought to be highly experimental are becoming more and more routine as scientific knowledge expands.”

How typical.  Pro-lifers are working hard to ensure the rights of an unprotected class of humans while pro-aborts are playing petty games, losing their cool when they hear money that could be going to them to promote money-making abortions is going to life-affirming, woman-helping crisis pregnancy centers.
