Hattip to Mary Katharine Ham at Hot Air. Wendy Davis, Texas State Senator, who won her Senate seat running as a pro-abort with the help of the man who was and is the head of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, and who is campaigning for governor of the Lone Star State on the strength of her ultimately futile filibuster against restrictions on abortion passed by the Texas legislature, has proclaimed herself pro-life.
Emily at Naked DC gives us the gruesome details:
She’s lagging because of a few key features of her campaign. First, it makes gun control a key issue in a state where not only are the people heavily armed, but the livestock as well. Second, she’s allied her communications with Organizing for Action’s Texas arm, which promptly ran an ad making a joke about Greg Abbott walking into the legislature, when it is abundantly clear to everyone who has ever seen Greg Abbott that he cannot walk. She had yet to talk about the cornerstone of her political career, her filibuster of a Texas law that prevents abortions after 20 weeks, which rolled the Texas abortion deadline back from 24 weeks.
She’s since corrected that oversight. Today, Wendy Davis, says she’s “pro-life.”
Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth), best known for her 11-hour filibusteragainst a controversial bill aimed at severely cutting access to abortion services across the Lone Star State, said her views on abortion make her “pro-life.”
“I am pro-life,” Davis said during a campaign stop at the University of Texas at Brownsville, according to the Valley Morning Star.
“I care about the life of every child: every child that goes to bed hungry, every child that goes to bed without a proper education, every child that goes to bed without being able to be a part of the Texas dream, every woman and man who worry about their children’s future and their ability to provide for that future,” Davis said. “I care about life and I have a record of fighting for people above all else.”
B—h, please.
Go here to read the rest. Orwell, a man of the left, was fascinated by the tendency of much of the left to attempt to transmute the meaning of words. In 1984 he explained why the ruling part IngSoc (English Socialists) had invented Newspeak:
The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of IngSoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meaning and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meaning whatever.
We see examples all around us of this today.
Marriage Equality instead of Gay Marriage. Affordable Health Care Act for an act that dramatically increases the price of health care for most people. Pro-Choice for being in favor of killing kids in utero. Homophobic as the description for people who view homosexual sex as immoral. Hope and Change for a regime that has brought only hopelessness and a reactionary adherence to the welfare state. All politicians, whatever they call themselves, attempt to apply pretty catchwords to whatever policies they promote, but the left, aided and abetted by the media, have mastered the art of attempting to alter reality with words. Alas, reality is reality and words cannot change that.
A number of years ago, a pro-abortion colleague of mine tried convincing me that he was pro-life because he was anti-war, anti-poverty, anti-gun, and anti-death-row. I was shocked then that he was trying to twist the meaning of the word; I am not shocked now when I see politicians stating it.
“Wordsmiths.”
Another description….”liars.”
Many mill stones being gathered for the bottom of the lake. Maybe as they tie the stones neatly around their neck they’ll reassure themselves by saying it’s fashionable ballast for the “enlightened.”
Isaiah 5:20
Ah, you who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!

Much of the problem consists in the denial of the human being composed of body and soul; the denial of the human soul. Acknowledgement of the human soul is the basis for freedom, for it is in the human soul that all endowed unalienable human rights are vested.The devil’s strategy is divide and conquer. Having darkened the mind of man to the reality of the human soul, the devil proceeds to gain control, ownership of the human soul, to the detriment of man knowing God as our Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier.
Wendy Davis is a good example of an individual already sold into slavery by the devil. ““I care about the life of every child: every child that (WHO, not that, as WHO denotes sovereign personhood as the beneficiary of all unalienable human rights by virtue of the human being’s existence as a child of God, made in the image of God with free will from God and freedom from the state.) goes to bed hungry, every child that -(WHO)- goes to bed without a proper education, every child that -(WHO)- goes to bed without being able to be a part of the Texas dream, every woman and man who (finally; -WHO- as acknowledging the rational, immortal soul of the adult member of society, the voter, while downgrading the child to a thing, a chattel, owned by the state. Yet the innocence and virginity, the sovereign personhood of the newly begotten child constitutes the state, our government, even before the unborn are certified as citizens, for the innocent soul establishes JUSTICE for the state and is the standard of JUSTICE.) worry about their children’s future and their ability to provide for that future,”
Acknowledgment of the innocent, virginal soul of the newly begotten person in the womb will assure that our constitutional posterity will have a decent future, steeped in unalienable human rights, the freedom to reason and acknowledge almighty God as the Endower of human rights.
Davis said. “I care about life and I have a record of fighting for people above all else.”
Speaking to God is a human right of the First Amendment. The will to live is an act of the free will of the sovereign person. If the unborn is alive, he is thinking about God.
The right to life is the most fundamental right. On this right all others rest. Without it, all others are threatened and ultimately meaningless. Being “pro-life” is respecting and promoting human life from the moment of conception until natural death.
In various periods of Church history,, the Church has had to grapple with doctrinal crises and arrive at a formula that would best express the saving truth under threat. Thus we brought. Forth such dogmas as: ” begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father”, “One God in three Persons”, “Jesus Christ, true God and true Man”, and many others.
In today’s Church, the crisis is ultimately the “anthropological crisis”. While the actual phrase did not arise within a Council (Vatican II was not faced with the full anthropological crisis) the new phrase is based on its teaching and further developed bt Blessed John Paul II ‘s Evangelium Vitae ( theGospel of Life). That ‘doctrinal’ statement is: ” from the moment of conception until natural death”.
With it, we confess and further the Gospel of Life; without it we are lost.
Check this out “Texas Democrat Wendy Davis claimed mental health issues in court” and see why it all makes sense to her.
“from the moment of conception until natural death”. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, God creates an immortal soul for that individual. “Ensoulment of the soul in the newly begotten, single celled (as the soul is begotten) human being enjoying his existence is aptly named “conception” as in Immaculate Conception.
“from the moment of conception until natural death”. I might mention here that life begins when the soul enters the single celled individual human being and life ends when the soul can no longer abide in the human body (when decomposition sets in )several days after cessation of all symptoms of life
