In response to Carla's post on abortion, I thought I would repost this piece I wrote at Loaded Mouth.

***

I saw Taz's post about me getting linked to Wizbang.

The comment by Bullwinkle at Wizbang made me shake my head.

Michael Hussey just proved that by not considering the post anything other than an attack on liberals. In his twisted way of thinking kids come somehwere further down the list than protecting liberals that steal from them.

Here is what I wrote.

I wouldn't be shocked if Rosen is responsible for wrongdoing or did something illegal. What I'm shocked about is why do conservatives think that the only people that commit crimes are those not registered as a Republican. That is so ridiculous that it doesn't even pass the laugh test.

If Air America owes money to the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club then I have no problem with this matter going to court. At the very least Cohen was gulty of a conflict of interest and Rosen used stupid judgement.

I have abso-fucking-lutely no problem with people on the left being held accountable for their transgression. What you won't hear is conservatives taking Jeb Bush to task for missing children and a raped 13 year-old girl he attempted to use as an abortion poster child.

Do Wizbang readers read the links? Other Wizbang comments talk about aborting sperm. These people are against a medical process that they don't even understand.

Paul accuses me of whining. What part of those statements is me letting Air America off the hook? Does Paul have anything resembling reading comprehension skills? Paul, I highly recommend you check out this website. It might help you out.

L.G. is a real sore point for the right. Paul doesn't bother mentioning that L.G. wanted an abortion. She became pregnant while she was a runaway by "a 28- or 30-year-old man." That is considered statutory rape in Florida.

I cover children issues in Florida on my blog. I got a hat tip from Skippy for this post. The post deals with Jeb Bush having 532 children missing from the welfare agency rolls and Florida losing track of sex offenders.

About 800 sexual offenders and predators unaccounted for in January had committed lewd acts against children, and about 130 had been sentenced for raping minors under 16, according to a review by the Herald. Most of the remaining 870 had committed sexual crimes against adults or teenagers 16 and older.

Officials say John Evander Couey, 46, has admitted abducting Jessica Lunsford on Feb. 23 from her bedroom and then raping and killing her. Couey wasn't listed as missing on the database because state officials were unaware he had moved and was staying near the Lunsfords.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement checks the whereabouts of sexual offenders once a year. Couey had last verified his address in July.

The one thing that I noticed is that lifers don't adopt. Lefty columnist John Sugg surveyed anti-abortion activist at a rally. The results are interesting.

I was thinking of that as I infiltrated a "right to life" march at Georgia's state Capitol last month. I started asking folks about adoption, and guess what? I couldn't find a single "lifer" who was an adoptive parent. I'm sure some are. But it underscored my longtime belief that these people love the fetus but hate the children. Or, at best, don't give a hoot for the children. (For a comparative sampling, I polled the first 20 people I encountered the same evening at a decidedly blue-state-leaning tavern, and two had adopted children from Georgia's child welfare system. Both of those people supported abortion rights.)

Sugg and his wife adopted five siblings when they lived in Tampa, Florida. Sugg wrote that his children "experienced unspeakable physical and sexual abuse while property of the state."

I'm amazed at how the the right are in love with fetuses in the bodies of other people. Yet, ignore the plight of children in the real world. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. Serious discussion and activism or required. Wizbang has the capacity for neither.
