Democrats insist that murdering children in the womb is legal and moral because it’s a matter of privacy.
And yet Democrats also insist that it’s my responsibility to pay for this mass murder — mostly of black babies, which constitutes not just a war on babies, but a race war.
So: abortion is private, but not really.
Democrats inform us that this inverted logic is in the Constitution.
I can’t find it. Anywhere.

You are a law-abiding citizen.
You own a legally purchased firearm. When you are confronted with a sign like the one above, which is posted in the Maryland Mall, you obey the law.
But the killer who is intent on murder sees that same sign and smiles, saying to himself: “Perfect place to kill.”
Gun-free zones are a Democrat delusion.
Just as the Democrat war on poverty has created more poverty, and just as ObamaCare is destroying the world’s greatest health care system, gun-free zones invite and enable mass murder.
Here in California, Governor Brown has signed approximately 800 new laws and regulations. We cannot buy the light bulbs of our choice. We cannot purchase toilets that flush properly. We must install a conservation filter in showers which turn a powerful spray into a pathetic dribble. Now, when I go to my local grocery store, convenient plastic bags have been banned. And there’s a 10 cent tax on paper bags.
In CA public schools, children as young as kindergarteners can now choose which bathroom, shower or locker to use. Bathrooms, showers and lockers are, ahem, gender neutral.
Seraphic Secret wonders: Does this mean that a boy can choose to go to a girl’s bathroom on Monday because he feels like a girl, and then on Tuesday it’s into the boy’s bathroom because he now feels like a boy? Is there a statute of limitations on gender identity? We assume not. After all, it’s all about how you feel. Physical facts have been relegated to the realm of metaphysics.
The law also require students be allowed to participate in sports programs as the gender to which they identify.
We can look forward to some pretty dopey sports events, hundreds of thousands of deeply traumatized children, and endless litigation.
This new law is institutionalized child abuse.
The minimum wage in CA is also rising, which will create more unemployment and higher costs for services. These costs which will be passed on directly to the consumer. In short, the income inequality Democrats kvetch about is caused by government.
A raft of new anti-gun laws go into effect here in California. Liberals will not rest until the Second Amendment is neutered thorough endless regulations.
“The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.”
—Thomas Jefferson
Make no mistake about it, Democrats seek to centralize all power in government. And they will not stop until everything that belongs to you, is under their control.
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
—Benjamin Franklin
Of course, ObamaCare, continues to cruelly disrupt the lives of millions of Americans, and to shatter their financial security.

Good grief.
You know the world is shifting off its axis when a Harvard study comes to the conclusion that more guns means less crime.
As a reminder of how this plays out in the real world, here’s Jew Without a Gun, Seraphic Secret’s most widely read post about the 1992 L.A. riots, in which Karen and I and the children were trapped for several frightening hours. We were unarmed, helpless save for our wits. The police were conspicuously absent, and the bad guys, frequently armed with heavy weapons, owned the streets. It was a defining moment in my life.
Anyhoo.
Ordinarily, Seraphic Secret is not a fan of academic studies. Most of them are nonsensical. But when a study comes to a common sense conclusion, we do sit up and take notice.
This is because we are big fans of common sense — which is in rather short supply these days.

It happened in Texas.
A free citizen under siege by two criminals defended himself and his wife by force of arms.
Will Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or Barack Hussein Obama now lecture us about the evils of guns? Will they tell us that they could have been these two kidnap victims who fought back?
Will The New York Times cover this story?
No, no, and no.
The race hustlers and gun control advocates will never acknowledge that the Second Amendment is a constitutional, G-d given right that allows free citizens to stay free from the tyranny of government and the tyranny of criminals.
