While I understand a woman wants to be in control of her body.\u2013it\u2019s certainly the feeling that\u00a0I had when I was a cancer patient, I wanted to be in control of the decisions that were made concerning my body\u2013there is another fundamental issue at stake. \u00a0And that\u2019s the life of the unborn child. And I hold that life dear and precious and believe we have to do everything we can to protect the life of the unborn.<!--more--><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Colorado journalist Jason Salzman (linked above) characterizes this as hypocrisy: \u201che wants state control over women\u2019s bodies but not his body.\u201d Salzman also did a <a href=\"http:\/\/rhrealitycheck.org\/article\/2014\/01\/16\/anti-choice-senate-candidate-ken-buck-cancer-wanted-control-body\/\">write-up<\/a> for RH Reality Check, quoting Karen Middleton of NARAL\u2019s Colorado affiliate as calling Buck \u201cout of touch\u201d and threatening to a woman\u2019s \u201cfundamental right to have control of her body.\u201d <em>Salon<\/em>\u2019s Elias Isquith <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2014\/01\/15\/tea_party_senate_candidate_compares_being_prengant_to_having_cancer\/\">says<\/a> it sounds \u201cstupidly and overtly sexist.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/health\/2014\/01\/15\/3168071\/republican-senate-candidate-cancer-pregnancy\/\">According to<\/a> Adam Peck at ThinkProgress, this is somehow \u201cgoing after women\u2019s reproductive rights\u201d and \u201ccomparing a woman\u2019s pregnancy to his own cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.<\/p>\n<p>First, the critics are acting as if Buck conjured this out of nothing, when in reality it\u2019s the pro-choice movement who insists on defining abortion as a \u201cmedical procedure.\u201d \u201cHealth care,\u201d \u201creproductive care,\u201d \u201cwomen\u2019s medicine,\u201d and various variations thereof are <em>their<\/em>, not our, chosen euphemisms for killing the unborn. It&#8217;s <em>their<\/em> world where pregnancy is a disease. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.alliancedefendingfreedom.org\/2012\/11\/27\/planned-parenthood-a-rose-by-any-other-name%E2%80%A6\/\">Care. No matter what<\/a>\u201d is Planned Parenthood\u2019s motto. Women\u2019s \u201chealth care decisions\u201d are what they accuse us of opposing. Buck didn\u2019t chose any of this terminology; he simply took his opponents\u2019 own formulation and responded to it.<\/p>\n<p>And his response brings us to this manufactured scandal\u2019s second bit of inanity. Buck expresses sympathy with the desire to control one\u2019s health decisions, but then points out that abortion is not analogous to cancer treatment because the woman is not the only interested party in pregnancy; the \u201clife of the unborn child\u201d is also present and must be considered.<\/p>\n<p>Now, to those unscathed by overexposure to abortionism\u2019s mind-altering properties, a procedure killing someone other than the patient is kind of a big deal requiring quite a bit of discussion. But the aforementioned freakouts by Salzman, Isquith, and Peck <em>don\u2019t even discuss it<\/em> &#8211; even though <em>they printed that part of Buck\u2019s quote right in their pieces<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The very remarks they\u2019re criticizing contain the counter-argument to the criticism. They publish that counter-argument, which presumably means they\u2019re aware of it because they had to read it at least once\u2026and proceed to editorialize as if Buck never uttered the words or the words weren\u2019t readily visible on the very same page.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as if you reported that a murder suspect was on video six states away at the time of the crime, then went on to predict that he is guilty. Or claimed there is no evidence of somebody\u2019s racism three paragraphs after reporting his publicly admitted membership in the Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, this idiocy was <a href=\"http:\/\/gazette.com\/editorial-media-stupefy-smart-political-rhetoric-to-handicap-the-right\/article\/1512880\">too much<\/a> for the <em>Colorado Springs<\/em> <em>Gazette<\/em> to put up with:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Those who disagree should feel free to have at it. Take Buck on for his view of the unborn. That discussion would at least have a nexus with Buck&#8217;s point.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not what we do in a political idiocracy that gets stupider by the day. A majority of the mainstream media won&#8217;t allow an honest discussion on the merits of Buck&#8217;s point. They&#8217;ll prefer to incite hostility about a deliberate distortion of what the candidate said. It&#8217;s just a little white lie, and it goes like this: Buck compared pregnancy to cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Buck did precisely the opposite by explaining that one condition involves another life. But don&#8217;t let facts stand in the way of an opportunity to mislead. The audience, assumed ignorant by the messenger, is supposed to respond with outrage. By golly, a pregnancy is not cancer. This is an insult to pregnant women and cancer patients alike. Bad, bad Ken Buck [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>What Buck said and what he meant are perfectly clear in the absence of dishonest messengers who assume low information and vulnerability on the listener&#8217;s part.<\/p>\n<p>Hit &#8220;reset&#8221; before this campaign proceeds. Stop stupefying the audience by dumbing down and distorting honest political exchange. We should value thoughtful statements above the surplus of safe political platitudes that teach us nothing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(Of course, some of the critics\u2019 commenters managed to <em>out-dumb even that<\/em> by equating living, unborn human beings with cancer &#8211; the sort of <a href=\"http:\/\/lti-blog.blogspot.com\/2012\/10\/condic-on-difference-between-embryonic.html\">anti-scientific sloppiness<\/a> that the late atheist thinker Christopher Hitchens <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abort73.com\/abortion\/mothers_body\/\">called<\/a> \u201cnonsense\u201d which the findings of modern embryology \u201cseem[ed] to have stopped.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Come on, guys.
