Anti-abortion rally praises new Kentucky laws

With a pair of brand-new laws restricting abortion on the books in Kentucky, the people who gathered in downtown Louisville on Monday for an annual "Rally for Life" had more to celebrate this year than in years past.

An organization called Right to Life of Louisville holds this anti-abortion event every year to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion that is lauded by many Americans and reviled by others.

For the 2017 event, around 100 people stood in front of Metro Hall and held signs with messages like "Pro-life and proud" and "Women do regret abortion."

They cheered when speakers mentioned the laws Kentucky's Republican-controlled legislature just approved, which instituted a 20-week ban on abortion as well as new restrictions requiring doctors to perform ultrasounds and describe the results to their patients before performing the procedure. Gov. Matt Bevin, who opposes abortion, signed both laws into immediate effect earlier this month.

Or in other words - when they can actually help with money. As you can't really stuff dollar bills in the mother's mouth when she is pregnant but you can definitely help her financially when the fetus actually becomes a human. Then all of the so called pro lifers immediately disappear. And then of course they come back - just when the child has reached military age. Then they aren't so pro life anymore. George Carlin pretty much nailed it many many years ago. Sad that we have to witness this stupidity today.
