NEW YORK, July 14, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – At most times, according to the international news service Reuters, and a Democrat Congresswoman, they are “products of conception” or “fetal tissue” that can be disposed of at a whim. But when an environmental issue is involved, they are transformed into “unborn babies,” and “babies who have not yet lived outside the womb.”
Reuters is a steadfast promoter of abortion and is particularly adept at following the abortion lobby’s tactics of linguistic manipulation. But today’s story of a report showing environmental toxins in umbilical cord blood starts with the news that “unborn babies are soaking in a stew of chemicals.”
The report by the Environmental Working Group shows as many as 287 chemical pollutants were found in ten samples of umbilical cord blood, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides.
Rep. Louise Slaughter, a Democrat with a nearly perfect record of abortion support in Congress, shared her shock and outrage that “These 10 newborn babies … were born polluted.”
“If ever we had proof that our nation’s pollution laws aren’t working, it’s reading the list of industrial chemicals in the bodies of babies who have not yet lived outside the womb,” Slaughter said.
Slaughter might be called to task for her logic however, since she has voted no on making it a crime to harm an unborn child during another crime, on banning partial-birth abortion, on banning cloning, on banning federal funding for overseas abortion and sterilization programmes, and on barring transporting minors to get an abortion.
This record of steadfast determination to enact laws ensuring that as many unborn US citizens as possible will be killed, in many cases by injection of deadly chemicals into the womb, might have been expected to put a damper on her speech in New York.
