Uncommon Commentary #376: UC #367 Follow-Up
Wendy
Davis, the Texas State senatrix who became a heroine of the pro-fœticide camp
and an enemy of God with her filibuster that thwarted the first attempt to
restrict the practice of inducing abortion in the Lone Star State, called
herself "pro-life" in an oration to her supporters. She justified the self-designation by saying
"I care about the life of every child; every child that goes to bed
hungry, every child that goes to bed without a proper education, every child
that goes to bed without being able to be a part of the Texas dream
…." I don't know how Davis expects
children to get a proper education or to be part of whatever she means by
"the Texas dream" if they're never born, but the point of this
posting is to note how what one newspaper story calls her "semantic switch"
illustrates a conclusion that I drew in Poll Results that Get the Gall Up (Part One).
