Margaret Carlson: Pro-Life Extremist [OregonMuse]

OK, so this article here I pulled from the sidebar a few days ago is Margaret Carlson's defense of Wendy Davis' lying lies about the narrative of her life story which is a bunch of lies. As you might imagine, Carlson's piece is a boiled-down, gooey tar pit of concentrated stupid (think of that oil slick that ate Tasha Yar), that'll lower your IQ by several points if you so much as glance at it.

But, buried deep in the dumb, there is something kind of interesting. In the midst of her defense of Wendy Davis' serial lying, she suddenly switches gears and says:

I don’t agree with Davis on the filibuster that made her famous. Abortions should be illegal after viability, which is coming earlier and earlier as neonatal care improves.

Really, Margaret? You really believe there should be actual *limits* on abortion? You're saying that after the pregnancy progresses past a certain point, abortion should be illegal? That women should be *forbidden* from having them? You mean you would deny a woman her constitutionally protected "right to choose"?

Holy crap. How dare she?

So what's viability these days? 22-25 weeks? That's getting down to almost the second trimester, isn't it? That's pretty early.

So how has Margaret Carlson been able to get away with such heresy? Why hasn't she been asked to turn in her Sisterhood card? Where is the Legion of Outrage and why haven't they burned Ms. Carlson in effigy?

She is obviously not of the Body.
