This is from Stacy Campfield, a state legislator in Tennessee (via Can't Stop the Bleeding):
Does anyone besides me see the hypocrisy of some on the left who go nuts about Michael Vick and the whole dog fighting thing and yet are the same people who don't care about the loss of human life caused by illegal aliens or are the same people who fight for the right to kill unborn babies?In fact, most dumb arguments about Vick include the phrase "dog fighting is cruel and inhumane, BUT..." Either that, or "Vick is terrible, BUT... not as terrible as my particular pet cause." No pun intended.I hear the battle cry of: "It is my body, it is my property, I can do with it what I want"
From the pro aborts, but the opposite cry from the same person against a person who's property is a dog. Do they respect the life of a dog more then they respect the life of a human...
Dog fighting is cruel and inhumane. But if Vick could have figured out a way to pit two unborn babies against each other in a fight to the death, maybe we'd outlaw killing children as quickly as we rushed to enhance penalties for crimes involving our pets.
UPDATE: To be fair, Jemele Hill's column Tuesday is one of the smartest things written about the Vick mess.
