“Anti-Choice” explained. And it wins a PTBC award

Our own columnist Mike Adams wins our not-at-all-weekly Paragraph of the Week Award today, for a segment of yesterday’s column

PTBC Paragraph of the Week Award

…I am often asked by Libertarians some version of the following question:

“How can you describe yourself as a Republican with some libertarian leanings when you are pro-life?” – although some foolishly say “anti-choice.”

The answer to that question is pretty simple. The true libertarian is pro-life because what has come to be known as the “pro-choice” position is actually “anti-choice” – in a classically Orwellian sense. This is true for a couple of fairly simple reasons.

… [A]bortion is fundamentally anti-choice because the decision to abort is only one choice. Whenever that choice is made a lifetime of choices are prevented. The average life is over 27,000 days long and we all make dozens of choices daily. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that each abortion results in an average net loss of at least a million choices.

Libertarians, therefore, should be adamantly opposed to abortion as a matter of principle. That most of them are not suggests that it is not the brain but another part of the body that is guiding their decision on the issue. …

“I’ve Had Choices”

EXTRA CHOICE FACTS

• Abortion is the most disgusting, most egregious thing ever thought of by humans. 

• In Canada, most Canadians do not realize that Canada has absolutely no abortion laws.  Except possibly that all abortions are funded by all taxpayers under Canada’s North Korean-style “healthcare” (wink!) system.  There are absolutely no restrictions on abortions in Canada.  Women can get abortions at any time in any pregnancy including even at 9-months’ pregnancy just before natural birth, for any reason or absolutely no reason whatever.  As many times as they like.  It’s all perfectly legal in Canada, and all paid for by all taxpayers. 

• Canada’s progressive Conservative Party is in favor of this status quo, and refuses to act on it in any way, shape, or form.  Naturally (ooh!  bad choice of word, huh?!), all the even more progressive parties, including the socialist you’ve got to be kidding party, the Liberal Party, and the Communist Party —all support the pro-abortion, anti-life (and anti-choice as it turns out!) status quo.  But this flies in the face of the opinion of many Canadians within what is clearly a massively and purposefully uninformed Canadian population, as seen below in this recent Angus Reid survey which no media reported on, on purpose:

Many Canadians Would Like to See Restrictions on Abortion Procedures
Respondents are almost evenly divided on whether the health care system should fund abortions whenever they are requested.

[VANCOUVER – Jan. 15, 2010] – A significant number of Canadians would support changes to the country’s status-quo on the subject of abortion, a new Angus Reid Public Opinion poll has found.

The online survey of a representative national sample of 1,002 Canadian adults sought to review the opinion of respondents on a wide range of topics related to abortion.

The Status-Quo

Only one-in-five Canadians (20%) are aware of the current status-quo of abortion in Canada: a woman can have an abortion at any time during her pregnancy, with no restrictions whatsoever.

A large proportion of respondents (43%) mistakenly believe that, under current guidelines, a woman can have an abortion only during the first three months of her pregnancy, with no other restrictions.

Two other incorrect responses also garnered mentions. Ten per cent of Canadians think a woman can have an abortion at any time during her pregnancy, but only if her life is in danger, if she has been the victim of rape, or if the fetus has serious defects, and 14 per cent believe a woman can only have an abortion during the first three months of her pregnancy, and only if her life is in danger, if she has been the victim or rape, or if the fetus has serious defects. …
