from post #33

To see infant babies die because they can't get water that's not human beside that ayoung lady had a baby in the dome and the baby died and she went into toxic shock because infection and also died.

1. "Culture of life" my ass

let the repuke bastards parrot "culture of life" just one more time and watch me work out on 'em...

[Waya]

2. The baby was already born - then died....

...right to life only applies to the 'unborn'. They have a right to be born - as soon as they are, well, that's a different story. Any Robertson, Dobson and Falwell supporter can tell you that....

[MidwestTransplant]

3. Exactly. Right to be born then you are on your own.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. ...until you're brain dead...

Then everybody wants you to stay on life support.

19. I call them

pro-fetus. That's what they are. They don't deserve to be called "pro-life" because of the policies they believe in that do not make life. It's all for selfish reasons.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Excellent!!!

I'm going to remember that term for all future references to them! :yourock:

[leftchick]

30. yes pro-fetus

and pro-embryo. I have been calling them that for years. They only care for the PRE born not the human after birth.

6. Yup -

A Gawd given right to be born and die in poverty and misery - but,ya can't expect good Jaysus fearin', hard workin' Repukes to care about those ol' lazy poor people and "welfare babies", do ya? The hypocrisy of those sorry pieces of maggot infested fecal matter knows no bounds. I'd vote for a piece of stinking road kill before I'd vote for a god damn Republican.

[SofaKingLiberal]

18. True

Maybe if someone started perfoming an abortions with a coathanger on the first day, you might have seen action.

[bliss_eternal]

4. Oh no...

I don't know what to say about this... The utter horror of such a thing to happen--

:cry:

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. It's surreal.

:mad: :cry:

7. Welcome to America

"The greatest country in the world" - bull fucking shit. Fuck this disgrace of a nation.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. And the Whole World is Watching.

I am ashamed! :cry:

[nookiemonster]

14. Please, let's bring back the guillotine.

I'm so angry, and I really don't give a fuck about being politically correct.

Or a pike. Whatever's easier.

[libhill]

20. Liberty / equality / fraternity

I've always had a greater affinity for the French Revolution than for our own, anyway. A great leveler of classes.

8. The hell ?? How long were mother and baby in the Stench dome?

The mother and baby should have been airlifted to a hospital asap after birth.

Shit, only fetuses and brain-dead people have a right-to-life. All others are on their own. :cry:

[MadeinOhio]

26. I wish the media would get answers to these questions....

Time to mail them and figure out if they can answer to this!

10. Right to life for white babies

Poor brown women dying in childbirth or from botched coat-hanger jobs? They never had much to say about the evils of those.

Hell, there are areas of this country that have infant mortality rates worse than countries like Afghanistan and Somalia. I don't hear the pro-birthers taking any action about that, do you?

[rbnyc]

11. This is so fucking horrible!!

This is almost to hard to know. But people better damned well know it!

[nonconformist]

12. Horrible. Inexcusable.

May they rest in peace. They did not deserve this.

:cry:

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Oh my gosh

:cry: Damn them all!

[ohio_liberal]

16. I can't wrap my brain around this kind of stuff

There were so many stories of women just out of childbed who were stuck outside the convention center and inside the dome. All those elderly people without medications stuck outside in the heat for days on end. This happened inside the United States? It's fucking criminal.

[Cleita]

17. These are the stories that should be gathered together

in one place and not allowed to die. They should be brought up every time * makes a stupid remark about this. We can't let the memory of these people die.

[bobbieinok]

21. a DU group maybe????

I've seen a lot at DU, but I'm not sure I could locate them all

[Erika]

23. This is America?

Or the death of America? Racial prejudice seems to have a new dawn. Thanks W.

[MadeinOhio]

24. Wow I wonder how many we don't hear about....

Tip of the iceberg....I hope it isn't.. :think:

[bobbieinok]

25. kick for late-late night

[psychopomp]

27. A hell that need not have been

The facade is wiped away!

[Iris]

28. kicked and nominated.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. The referenced post has no source and is disrespectful of AfricanAmericans

I don't exactly believe it. I believe things like that might happen, but let's have some traceable sources not some anonymous fourth-hand reporting. And the language used seems to be very disrespectful of African Americans.

[Blue Diadem]

31. I didn't read the referenced post, but I did hear on one of the news

stations(CNN or MSNBC) that a baby was born and died in either the dome or the center. It was a brief statement made sometime over the weekend. I don't remember hearing what happened to the Mother.

Going to read the referenced post now..
