RSSKnow Thy Source, Especially Thy Liberal Source: Part Two
Gene Lalor | June 8, 2009
Part One of this very mini series dealt primarily with the necessity of verifying sources before one believes anything read on the internet. Another focus was Ms. Bonnie Erbe’s background and studied indifference as to the recent Playboy filth promoting the “hate-f***ing” of a number of prominent conservative women: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1048.
Erbe’ is relatively prominent herself and I was attempting to determine what makes her tick in light of the view expressed in her article, published by ScrippsNews.com, that “Abortion Is Not a Tragedy.”
Her non-reaction to the Playboy piece went a long way in clarifying her ticking.
She argued in “Abortion Is Not a Tragedy” that America’s current hard economic times are driving women to abortionists as they try to make do with less money. As with “hate-f***ing” (conservative) women, Erbe’ adopts a blase’ attitude of, “So what!” or, as she writes, “The media have also been rife with stories portraying this trend as something of a tragedy. Let me propose a counter view: it is not.”
She supports her counter-proposal by offering the example of an unwed mother of three whose live-in significant other had lost his job. The mother had weighed all her options and decided to abort her fourth child: ”It’s actually a fact-based, rational decision that in the end benefits the three children they already have and society as well. . . It’s no tragedy: it’s a good decision.”
Erbe’ is a perfect representative of a liberal moral relativist, an obtuse, ignorant relativist, suggesting as she does that since times are tough and babies are expensive, why not just kill Number Four and all will be good for that mom, her boyfriend, and their progeny? After all, then the loving couple will be better able to tend to their brood and will be less likely to have “to rely on scarce public resources to raise their children.”
What an awesome perspective!
She goes on to say, based on something or other, that, “Abortion was not viewed as a tragic event in the early days after the Supreme Court handed down its Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion on a national scale.” The tragic essence of murdering a pre-born human being only gained tragic status after “the poster child” for pro-life, and the “Roe” in Roe v. Wade, became an advocate for life.
To make things even worse, ”the media [has] become a trumpet for the pro-life message that abortion is always a tragedy.”
I understand Bonnie Erbe’ was born in New York City but on which planet she now resides is something of a mystery. I have a slew of questions for her which, depending on her responses, will help establish whether she is or ever has been a bonafide Earthling:
. On what do you base your supposition that the unwed mom you cited, who has already birthed three legally-fatherless children, will become a more attentive, caring, responsible parent after she kills the fourth?
. Will she have no physical, emotional, psychological or even moral issues with which to contend after she goes through with the abortion? Most women do.
. With no ties to bind, will her live-in continue to live in and participate in the nurturing of their three living kids and keep their clan independent of “scarce public resources?” Many do not.
. After the next “oops,” and the probability is that there will be one, at the minimum, what then does the mom do? Go the abortion route again?
. Who told you that it was only after Norma McCovey went public as the pro-life “poster child,” that killing the innocent became “tragic?” To millions of Americans, abortion has always been both a personal and a societal tragedy.
. Last but far from least, where did you see or hear any instance to support your absurd contention that the media is somehow in cahoots with the pro-life movement? My hearing may be problematic but I have yet to hear a single media trumpet in defense of the truth that abortion is a tragedy.
I do have other questions for Ms. Bonnie Erbe’ but they are very personal questions relating to her own child-bearing or aborting history, to her marital status, to her sexual orientation, etc. but I will refrain from asking them.
I would ask, Ms. Erbe, that in the future you furnish substantiation, reliable and credible sources, for your cockamamie theories and anecdotes. Otherwise, many thinking people may come to believe you have no sources and what you propound is just typical, liberal pap. In other words, a crock.
One more thing, Bonnie, lose that picture: 
You’re long past the Barnard girl stage and long past your forties.
