And by stupid I don&#8217;t simply mean wrong and hilariously illogical; that&#8217;s always been the case. No, here I refer to that delectable style of stupidity that takes the form of snobbishness. And by their snobbishness I mean the devolution of their cause into such an\u00a0awkward and\u00a0embarrassingly desperate\u00a0series of memes, inside-jokes, slogans and arguments, that the average human being is entirely isolated from their ranks. They&#8217;ve developed the Aristocracy of Vulgarity; they&#8217;ve perfected in the mirror their elitist sneers.<\/p>\n<p>And nowhere is this more apparent than the &#8216;women&#8217;s&#8217; website <a href=\"http:\/\/jezebel.com\/\">Jezebel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jezebel is, quite frankly, hilarious. They\u00a0received\u00a0news that Clara Taylor, an abortionist who wears a mask to perform late-term abortions around the country, was identified as Nicola Louise Moore by Operation Rescue. <a href=\"http:\/\/jezebel.com\/5849661\/operation-rescue-reveals-identity-of-anonymous-abortion-doctor-because-abortion-is-like-bank-robbery?popular=true\">They became indignant,<\/a> as they are wont to.<\/p>\n<p>This is the woman Jezebel was defending:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/blog\/nicola-moore-and-the-snobbery-of-the-pro-choice-movement\/screen-shot-2011-10-15-at-5-41-37-pm\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7076\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7076\" title=\"Screen shot 2011-10-15 at 5.41.37 PM\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Screen-shot-2011-10-15-at-5.41.37-PM.png\" width=\"232\" height=\"352\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nNow Jezebel was shocked, absolutely shocked, that people would try to expose her for who she is. After all, this is entirely normal! You don&#8217;t want pro-lifers &#8211; that notorious bunch &#8211; interested in\u00a0assassinating\u00a0you, so you go to your local halloween store, pick out the scariest crap you can find, and <em>then<\/em> go out and kill babies. Of course! (That my, my friends, is how we avoid attention and stay\u00a0<em>classy<\/em> in the 21st century.)<\/p>\n<p>The reason I was laughing: The site&#8217;s desperate attempts to make the fact that Operation Rescue compared the wearing of a mask &#8211; in Moore&#8217;s case &#8211; to the guilty wearing the mask of a bank robber seem like the most ridiculous bit of rhetoric they had ever come across. Note the title:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h1>Operation Rescue Reveals Identity of Anonymous Abortion Doctor, Because Abortion Is Like Bank Robbery<\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Subtle. The article helpfully neglected to include a picture of Moore, for if it had, the rather obvious point against Operation Rescue would not have been their comparison of her with a bank robber, but their lack of comparison of her with an Orc. But here&#8217;s where the snobbishness rears its pompous head. So out of touch is the pro-abortion movement with basic human awarenesses &#8211; good and evil, beauty and ugliness, common sense etc. &#8211; that this woman and her actions seem entirely normal.<\/p>\n<p>A quick thought experiment. You are at home. There is a knock on your door. You open it. Moore is standing there, in her super-professional\u00a0mask. She needs directions to the abortion clinic. Is your first instinct to a) run like hell, b) remain in shocked silence, c) curse loudly, d) reflexively tackle her, e) back away slowly, attempting to figure out what on earth is wrong with this woman, and for that matter, what on earth is wrong with the 21st century, or f) think to yourself, <em>This woman must be protecting herself from pro-lifers, that&#8217;s why she&#8217;s dressed as a troll. Luckily I &#8211; being an individual aware of my reproductive options &#8211; know where the abortion clinic is, and will direct her there.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jezebel assumes that the greatest idiocy would be for some one to compare her to a bank-robber, never mind comparing her to the monster that eats them in their\u00a0reoccurring\u00a0nightmares.\u00a0Jezebel assumes &#8211; in their elitist fashion &#8211; that the\u00a0majority\u00a0of Americans are as high-minded as themselves, and would choose &#8216;f&#8217;.\u00a0In completely unrelated news, the majority of Americans have recently and inexplicably decided to be pro-life.<\/p>\n<p>The comments are\u00a0similar. Have a few, so you can see how open-armed these individuals are.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Do you think she wears the mask while performing abortions? lol&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But then I see this, these sick fucks who stalk and threaten doctors in the name of &#8220;god&#8221; and their pro-&#8220;life&#8221; beliefs, and its like, what the fuck are we doing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mmmm I like my blackened fetus with rice and beans. Ok that&#8217;s enough.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Enough, yes, it has been enough for quite some time. A question for the pro-choice movement: Do you think it&#8217;s entirely by accident that America is its most pro-life at a time when you are your most freaky weird? Or are you just getting freaky weird in a desperate panic over the fact that America is pro-life, Planned Parenthood is falling, and ultrasounds work?<\/p>\n<p>As far as I can tell, this is the delight of the pro-choice crowd: To have a bitter, awkward aristocracy in which to spin the same jokes and rants round and round in little spirals. But the problem with spirals is that they tend to spin inwards, getting smaller and smaller until they&#8217;re a\u00a0minuscule\u00a0dot no one listens to. So Jezebel please, keep doing what you&#8217;re doing. Don&#8217;t open your minds, just keep making the eating babies jokes. We are reaping what you sow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s becoming painfully obvious just how stupid the pro-abortion movement has become.
