Precedent.
Accepted. Settled law.
And Roe has become accepted law, and abortion on demand is the liberals' baby. Many of them accepted it as settled before the Supreme Court did, and before an overwhelming majority of Americans did. Today, we hear many of the same disco ball revolutionaries sounding the alarm in terms of safety and security of their baby.
The Republicans will put more bad men on the Supreme Court. And those bad men will kill our baby!
They didn't say it like this. They wrapped their baby up in precedent.
This is settled. And that's it. And that is why we are for this. Because it's a done deal.
You see, liberals aren't really about change; they're about the status quo.
Remember when owning slaves as a right was precedent?
Remember when women and Native Americans not being allowed to vote was precedent?
Remember when segregated schools were precedent?
Remember when the overwhelming majority of women becoming housewives or librarians... was accepted?
Remember when African Americans couldn't play in professional sports, and that was accepted?
Remember when black people sat in the back of the bus, and that found social precedent?
Remember how the liberals fought against all of these things because they were settled? They were done deals?
Let's all keep these things in mind now, while the liberals wrap their baby up in the Democratic (Party) American flag of precedence. And let's all commend these people on this clever satire of making us all open our eyes to the fact that there really is no Democratic candidate in this election. There couldn't be. Precedent ruled them out long ago, and the Democrats hold precedent as sacrosanct.
Liberals, now in danger of having their baby-in-the-abstract aborted, are in hysterics. In the meantime, there's an actual cost in real human lives, not abstract ones, being sacrificed at the altar of liberal hypocrisy. So their abstract baby can continue to be swaddled in an "evolving" and "living" federal constitution.
Their precedent.
Their baby.
Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare. If that's not a direct quote, it's very close. The speaker? President William Jefferson Clinton. He said those words many moons ago.
Just words.
And guess what? In this case, that's all they were.
What did this person actually do to make abortions more rare? If you look at his record, he made efforts to make them more available, not more rare. And now we have the nuts (and bolts) Mrs. Bill Clinton. So where are the nuts and bolts for these words? Where are the nuts and bolts for "rare" abortions in the US? Where is the LBJ of "rare" abortion?
Obviously, we all know the Democrats couldn't be this hypocritical. Maybe they were just words in this case, but that's because it's all about precedent. It's the precedent, stupid!
And they mean it.
Okay, we all get the point. So let's end the satire now. Get off the stage with Barack, Mrs. Clinton.
Because precedent would require that.
