Hey, Michael Moore You Got Some Splainin' to Do!

In what kind of twisted world do the rights of a known terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent lives trump the rights of an unborn child? In Michael Moore's world, is the answer. Today, on The View , Michael Moore presented his new book. I don't know what it is about, although there is a charming picture on the cover.  But, no interview with Michael Moore is complete without asking him his opinion on the Iraq war and the fate of Osama bin Laden.  Apparently, he is the beacon of truth and honor when it comes to right to life issues.  Except when it comes to abortion.  What?! Uh, yeah. He declared with grand arm gestures, "As a catholic, it is wrong to take the life of a person unless it is in self defense!"  Good.  Me, too.  I'm right there with ya, Michael.  But when the blonde co-host asked him if that meant he was pro-life, he hesitated and mumbled and tried to recover, saying, "I'm pro-life in the sense that I don't believe you should kill people."  Good.  Me either.  Killing people is serious, wrong business.  If he was sitting next to me, I would have fist bumped him.

But, then, I heard the words..."Not when it comes to abortion."  And, Joy Behar could be heard giving an assist to the stumbling guest, by saying..."When they're alive.  When they are alive. He's pro-life when they are alive."  Okay.  Awkward.  Michael Moore is right to life when people are alive.  But that does not include abortion.  Does that mean, Michael Moore, that you came on The View today to say that Osama bin Laden deserved his day in court but these babies are not alive?

Agreed. We have no right to take a life ... neither the life of an innocent in the womb nor the life of a convicted murderer. Maybe Michael Moore will tell us where he was taught that the innocent growing in the womb is not alive?
