The Dems' Mask Slips---So Soon!

The Supreme Court battle is all about abortion, of course, as Cap'n Ed notes:

However, if Kennedy gets hyperbolic, then the abortion-rights groups sound positively insane:

A group of liberal activists reserved a room across the hall from the Senate chamber yesterday to add their warnings, calling the abortion rights as upheld by Justice O'Connor the most fundamental American freedom.
"On Independence Day weekend -- as we all celebrate the freedoms that make America so special -- there is no freedom more fundamental to our rights than the ability for women to decide whether and when to parent," said Karen Pearl, interim president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.


So that's why our Founding Fathers created the first representative, democratic republic -- so that women could get abortions! Now I recall that every Fourth of July, we set off those fireworks and gave thanks that we escaped the evil tyranny of England, who had outlawed Planned Parenthood. Meanwhile, the FEC restricts political speech and New London confiscates private property to give it away to rich developers, but thank God some generic Higher Power that we can celebrate our most fundamental freedom, one that is so fundamental that one cannot even find a mention of it in our Constitution.

Why would George Bush take advice from this gang of idiots? In fact, why does anyone?

This post is a great example of why Ed Morrissey's a mover and shaker in the Blogosphere.

Why do you think the professionals fail to get to the heart of the matter like Ed does?
