More choices at hand though, now in Canada.
I apologize in advance to the good Tom Brodbeck for hijacking his column for my own purposes today in this rant-a-palooza. I’m taking his very well-written (as always) column today, which was written with a law-and-order bent and a good one at that, and bending it to a different direction, and one with which I’m not sure he’d agree at all. So bear that in mind.
Liberal-appointed judges, who are therefore, let me assure you, liberals, make rulings such as that described in Tom Brodbeck’s column based not on common sense or even law, as I see it. It’s based on a horrible, immoral, liberal-left political attitude housed in a culture of death; and indeed with an underpinning that reeks of a pro-abortion bias, or at least one that places practically no value on life itself.
I have no idea what the judge in this particular case stands for in her elite life. I mean let’s face it: I don’t remotely comprehend where in tarnation this woman is coming from. So I’m not accusing her of anything, but it seems to me she doesn’t stand for life. And it’s not about protecting the innocent, nor protecting those who can’t speak for themselves; nor even for common sense, as far as I can tell.

[Winnipeg Sun]Apparently killing a newborn baby by suffocating it with a plastic bag and dropping it in a dumpster is not that serious a crime anymore.
At least according to Justice Deborah McCawley, who last month handed an 18-month conditional sentence—no jail time—to a 27-year-old mother who suffocated her own baby.
For that, McCawley is the winner of the latest Eight-Ball Award, handed out in this column to highlight some of the worst perversions of justice in our legal system.
McCawley said she saw no need to send Selena Odette Stevenson to jail, even though the woman knowingly killed her own baby.
Putting her behind bars would only harm the woman’s chances at rehabilitation, the judge said.
“All seem to agree incarceration would serve no purpose at all … I share that view,” said McCawley.
No purpose at all? How about the long-standing sentencing principles of general deterrence and denunciation?
How about the Criminal Code’s requirement that sentences be proportionate to the seriousness of the crime? Did McCawley rip those pages out of her copy of the Criminal Code?
It seems that more and more, judges are ignoring those principles. […]
It’s not enough that liberals in Canada promote abortion at any time in any pregnancy—even right up to a day before natural delivery —for any reason or even no reason at all whatsoever, all at taxpayer expense. Tune in ten years from now, and at this rate, we’ll be allowing abortion for 3-week-olds. It will be described as a woman’s “reproductive health” issue. “A woman’s right to choose”.
I noticed a poll they were conducting at Tom Brodbeck’s paper (the online version). Here it is:
But I wonder if the Euroliberals, whom Canadian liberals worship, would have other ideas for a poll. Read this:
Belgium to Consider Legalizing Under-18 Euthanasia
By Gudrun Schultz
BRUSSELS, Belgium, April 7, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) — The government of Belgium is considering a proposal to legalize euthanasia for children and youth up to age 18.
The Flemish Socialist party, a member of Belgium’s coalition government, has called for an extension to the country’s euthanasia laws to give teenagers under 18 the right to choose assisted suicide, and parents of younger children the right to “choose” it for them.
Euthanasia was legalized in Belgium in 2002. Under the current law, a patient must be over 18, terminally ill and in constant suffering in order to qualify for euthanasia. The country has considered extending the law to include children ever since the present law was first passed.
Last month the Netherlands announced it would allow the legal euthanasia of babies and children under 12 years. Dutch doctors admitted to the unauthorized killing of infants prior to the legislation; at least 15 babies were killed every year, many of them born with non-fatal genetic disorders.
You have to hand it to the liberals. I mean if it’s OK to kill a baby in the womb or even partially born as in a late-term abortion, then why not extend that to a day or two or three after birth?
And then what the heck is the difference between that and three weeks? A Month? Three months? Two years? What’s the difference?
