The Logic of the Left

I had the most interesting discussion today with someone on a Facebook group; this person made the following statement regarding Barack Obama's opposal to a ban that would make partial birth abortions illegal:

"Okay, let's tackle the abortion issue. When I said nobody supports partial birth abortion, I meant just that. Don't confuse the law that wants to ban it with the actual act itself...."

I was dumbfounded. I find it amazing that there are people in this world that actually live by this sort of logic; by this sort of idealogy.
It's simple logic here.....if someone (and in this case, Barack Obama) wants to BAN a law that would PREVENT the act of partial birth abortions, then whether or not the person has verbally said he or she supports partial birth abortion is IRRELEVANT.....the statement is in the action!

If the man opposes a law that would BAN partial birth abortions, that man is supporting a person's so-called "RIGHT" to partial birth abortion. Why else would he take the trouble to publicly OPPOSE the ban? It's ridiculous to even try to argue that someone would say "Well gee....I don't like the ban on partial birth abortion.....and I also don't support partial birth abortion." It doesn't work that way........the ban doesn't involve anything else BUT partial birth abortion and to say that though he opposes the ban AND at the same time is NOT for partial birth abortion is absolutely ludacris.

On the topic of abortion, and for all you pro-choicers out there (including, God-forbid, the possible McCain VP pick Tom Ridge), explain to me please what IS abortion, anyway....if it isn't taking away someone's life. It is just the removal of some superferlous tissue; some annoyance in the form of a blob inside a woman's body? Ok, ok....the big argument here is "When does it become a life, etc. etc. Some scientists have determined, or so they say, that at a certain week in the pregancy it is officially a life. Some doctors claim that it is until the "fetus" is exiting the birth canal....THEN it is a child. (So, to all you partial birth supporters out there......when does it become a child to YOU?)
Here's my argument....here's my case. Regardless of whether or not you are a Christian; regardless of when you believe that a fetus "becomes a child".....regardless of any of the "fine print," would you, or would you not agree that the so-called "tissue" inside the woman's body will, after the usual span of 9 months, exit into the world and grow up as a human? You'd probably say yes, correct? So, wouldn't taking that fetus and throwing it away being essentially throwing away that fetus' chance at life outside the womb? Hmm?? There you have it.......regardless of what you think.....that is something that one HAS to admit. Regardless of when a person believes a fetus becomes a life.....(and let's use Barack Obama here)....he has to admit that if his mother had decided that that "lump of tissue" inside her was, well, just a little annoyance easily removed, then the now presidential candidate would NOT have exited the womb into the world to grow and up one day run for president. (darn) RIGHT? Right.
