First things first… what the hell is wrong with Kerry Burt?
He represents everything that people hate about politics and politicians. And, the sad thing is that his leadership knows all about this, and they still won’t do anything. (I’m talking to you Pat “100%” Murphy).
That tells you a lot about their level of character and leadership.
Four-year-old murdered by father
And now for an even more upsetting news story…
Apparently, he had wanted her mother to abort her before she was born, but her mother had refused.
Do people not see how the legality and availability of abortion devalues human life? In this “father’s” mind, he didn’t see any difference between getting rid of his child before she was born or after she was born, and, if we’re honest, that’s not really an illogical viewpoint.
What is illogical is that we allow any child, born or unborn, to be slaughtered. But, until we take the logical stance that all children should be protected, are we really surprised when atrocities such as this happen?

I agree with you on Kerry Burt. This guy is a disgrace to the entire legislature. Republican or Democrat, this should not be tolerated from either party.
On the issue of the father killing his daughter, I agree that her murder is very atrocious. However, it’s a stretch to associate it with his alleged desire to abort her during the mother’s pregnancy.
Remember, correlation does not imply causation. I also heard that he started eating mango’s from Thailand at the time he murdered her. Clearly there is now an established connection between eating Thai mango’s and disregard for human life….see, that sounds crazy doesn’t it.
Sure, he wanted to abort her. But most people that would consider an abortion don’t murder their children if the mother doesn’t have an abortion. Your statement that he has no regard for human life is silly at best.
I understand you are passionate about the issue of abortion, but there are well reasoned arguments that can be made. However, you are trying to associate unrelated ideas without any evidence or reasoning.
And I’ll repeat it because you seem to violate it quite often: Correlation does not imply causation.
burt is crap, but honestly, more ill conceived logic, trying to compare the murder of a 4 year old by a horrible human being and relate it to abortion??? Emily, you need help.
Silence
Those who need help are those who refuse to accept that an unborn child is a child. Yes, the murder of a 4-year-old child is horrible, but so is ending the life of a child who doesn’t even get to take one breath. If people believe that a child’s life has no worth before it is born, then it is easier for them to accept that a child’s life has no worth after it is born.

This would *seem* to be true, but not if you step through it logically. So if a woman has an abortion at 15, she would no problem killing her 4-year old child when she is 32? That is exactly what you are saying. Silly.
