Despite its shocking evil, <a href=\"\/news\/gay-marriage-dead-babies-and-the-hypocritical-emptiness-of-liberal-morality\/\">unmatched<\/a> by any other contemporary political issue, pro-life elected officials tend to speak in overly diplomatic and sometimes even timid terms about the practice, sounding more like they\u2019re debating where to put a new road than state-sanctioned baby execution.<\/p>\n<p>Shamefully, this is largely due to the culture that political careers foster &#8211; when that evil happens to be a core value of the party to which half of the people you pass in the hall and have lunch with every day belong, moral candor often takes a backseat to comfort and etiquette.<\/p>\n<p>But sometimes the stench is too much for false pleasantries to handle. On Wednesday, the Wisconsin State Senate played host to one of the most refreshingly honest performances from an elected official in recent memory, as Republican Sen. Mary Lazich simply could not abide the malicious hyperbole of Democrat Sen. Kathleen Vinehout. (Video of both lawmakers\u2019 remarks can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/2013\/06\/12\/debate-over-anti-abortion-bill-erupts-into-intense-shouting-match-on-wisconsin-senate-floor-youre-out-of-order\/\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>The debate centered around <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/2013\/related\/proposals\/sb206\">SB 206, Sonya&#8217;s Law<\/a>, which requires abortionists to provide women with ultrasounds and basic medical information about their babies&#8217; humanity and heartbeat. It does not force women to view the images; contains exemptions for rape, incest, and medical emergencies; and does not require that the ultrasound be administered trans-vaginally.<\/p>\n<p>After a shouting match erupted over Democrat efforts to delay the vote (which Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenbaypressgazette.com\/viewart\/20130612\/GPG0101\/306120288\/State-Senate-passes-abortion-bill-requiring-ultrasounds\">explains here<\/a>), the Senate passed the bill on a party-line vote. It was then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2013\/06\/14\/wisconsin-assembly-passes-three-pro-life-bills-stopping-abortions-funding\/\">passed<\/a> by the Assembly alongside other pro-life measures on taxpayer abortion funding and sex-selection abortions, and it will soon be signed into law by Gov. Scott Walker.<\/p>\n<p>In response to granting innocent, defenseless babies this modest, non-binding consideration (seriously, we can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deathpenaltyinfo.org\/costs-death-penalty\">spend millions<\/a> on appeals for convicted murderers on death row, but babies can\u2019t even get a picture on their own green mile?), Vinehout angrily and tearfully <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/rs\/2013\/06\/12\/ruckus-in-wisconsin-senate-republicans-push-through-ultrasound-bill-after-silencing-democrats\/\">deployed<\/a> the usual emotional blackmail.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on behalf of constituents whose messages she was relaying, Vinehout claimed that rape victims would suffer under the law since only 16% of rapes are reported, sneered about alleged hypocrisy &#8211; \u201csmall government is in direct conflict with big government Republicans sticking their nose my vagina\u201d &#8211; recounted her own rape at age 15, wondered why we\u2019d defund Planned Parenthood \u201cif we truly want to make abortion rare\u201d (hint: why shouldn\u2019t we put cigarette companies in charge of anti-smoking campaigns?), and asked, \u201cHow can we get the conservatives \u2014 mostly men \u2014 to quit blaming women, many times girls, solely for unwanted pregnancies?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is typically the part where the Republican stumbles over himself to clarify how much he respects the perspective of his good friend from <em>blah blah blah<\/em>. Not Mary Lazich. Reminding her peers about the bill\u2019s rape exception and promising that \u201cyou\u2019re probably going to see a lot more laws from me because these clinics pull this crap: \u2018It\u2019s a blob of tissue. It\u2019s the best thing you could do. You\u2019re too young,\u2019\u201d she made perfectly clear that she would not be intimidated for doing the right thing, her tone intensifying as she went on:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The theatrics surrounding the former presentation, as we all know, those of us that look at the bill and read the bill, it exempts rape and incest. So some of the theatrics please, please know that as those that read the bill and understand that.<\/p>\n<p>We had a lady testify, her name was Carol, she testified that a number of years ago she went to a clinic, found out she was pregnant. I believe her location was Kenosha. The testimony\u2019s out there. We can track that down. She was told to go to Milwaukee and get her abortion. She described the very cold, cold procedure and what happened, and the cold environment. She went to this cold environment. Someone was sitting there passing around Valium. She goes in. She\u2019s crying through the procedure. She told her, don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s a blob of tissue, you\u2019re doing the right thing, get it over with quick.<\/p>\n<p>She goes home and lives with this day after day after day after day. The rest of her life she lives with this trauma. And it\u2019s time for that to end. It\u2019s time for women to know the facts. It\u2019s time for them to know what they\u2019re carrying in their womb and what they\u2019re doing. They get those full facts, they make that decision, it\u2019s legal, they do it, they terminate their pregnancy. If you have a loved one that\u2019s thinking about terminating their pregnancy, for crying out loud, you want them to have full information. You want them to have an ultrasound. You want them to know what\u2019s going on in that womb and what they\u2019re doing and that they\u2019re not going to be able to change that for the rest of their life. They make that decision; it\u2019s over. It\u2019s over in a few minutes and then later on they can live with the fact that they terminated their pregnancy and it was the best thing for them; or they killed their child and they made a horrific decision and they regret it and they wish they never would have done it. And for those that want that information and wish that they never would have done it, that\u2019s what Sonia\u2019s law is about.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bravo, Senator. Vinehout\u2019s tirade was demagoguery of the worst order. She knows what abortion is, knows what Planned Parenthood\u2019s really about, and knows that conservatives don\u2019t \u201cblame women solely for unwanted pregnancies.\u201d And though it\u2019s vile enough to exploit rape in the interest of victimizing somebody else, for her to do so <em>knowing<\/em> that the bill exempts rape victims is doubly despicable.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Senator Vinehout, I\u2019m sorry you were raped. I\u2019m sorry for anyone who gets raped. But it\u2019s not a license to defame, murder, or pretend you don\u2019t know better.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Lazich\u2019s response should be a model for all pro-life politicians. You\u2019re talking about <em>murdering our young<\/em>, not budgetary minutiae. It\u2019s not humane, not compassionate, and not deserving of respect. Show a little righteous indignation about the fact that anyone given the honor of walking government\u2019s halls would dare stain them by advocating such barbarism. Raise uncomfortable implications about the character it takes to shill for abortion. Give voters a <a href=\"\/news\/the-case-against-nice\/\">reason to notice<\/a> that something\u2019s going on that\u2019s worth getting worked up about. And for God\u2019s sake, start worrying more about the poisoning and dismemberment that goes on every day than avoiding awkward stares at cocktail hour.<\/p>\n<p>In short, evil is evil.
