As we await finding out whether the recently leaked draft Supreme Court ruling on the Mississippi abortion rights law portends a final ruling or not, I decided it was time to revisit one of Ted Rall's more famous, or infamous, statements, which I blogged about more than a decade ago.
Here you are:
Abortion is murder. In my view women have--and ought to continue to have--the right to murder their unborn babies. Each abortion is a tragedy, some necessary and others not, and all of them are murder.
At one time, I thought that was semi-profound and maybe at least approaching being fully so. That was before I realized that Ted Rall was a self-aggrandizing bullshit artist far more than a font of profundity.
The reality?
Ted Rall doesn't believe abortion is murder. If he thought it were, in either a legal or a sociological sense, he'd be a full-on pro-lifer, and he's not.
Don't step in Ted Rall's bullshit, people, and don't let others peddle his bullshit as pancakes.
