The best of a bad situation
Tanya Somanader fra Think Progress har et glimrende indlæg der viser lidt om, hvor ekstremt den amerikansk evangeliske højrefløj – personificeret af præsidentkandidat Rick Santorum – livssyn er:
SANTORUM: Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn’t have this baby, if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life. And this is not an easy choice. I understand that. As horrible as the way that that son or daughter and son was created, it still is her child. And whether she has that child or doesn’t, it will always be her child. And she will always know that. And so to embrace her and to love her and to support her and get her through this very difficult time, I’ve always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can’t think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation.
For de der er interesserede kommer klippet også på video:
Ytringsfriheden er hellig. Retten til at bære våben er hellig. Men abort, selv ved en graviditet efter en voldtægt. Glem det.
Amen.
