Just Kill It

I didn’t watch the Democrat debates and from what I can tell, I didn’t miss much – a selection of rich White folk telling us how bad rich White folk are for the rest of us, all the while pretending to be one of the rest of us. Cute, really.

But, I did get a glance at an interesting ejaculation from Lizzy. Some background first though. It seems that Mike Blumberg waited awhile to participate in the debates until Lizzy had stumbled a bit. Then we found out that Mike is apparently the Democrat misogynist (if we don’t count Clinton, Clinton, Weinstein, and Epstein). Not only had Mike required NDA (non-disclosure agreements) from a handful of women who had claimed that he was well, a bit aggressive toward them, but at some point had applied the now standard Democrat understanding of unborn children to career choices for women who worked for him. Yes, Mike had dared to suggest to a female employee that for her career concerns, she should have an abortion. 

Well, normally this wouldn’t even have caused a stir because really, what’s a clump of cells compared to a career in the Blumberg dynasty? I mean Planned Parenthood burns, scalds, and tears apart those clumps of cells and then pulls, scrapes, and scoops them out of a (real) female’s body hundreds of times a day and no one seems to care. 

Until that night, on that stage. 

Lizzy’s exclamation was probably the one time I noticed that she had expressed any real emotion, any real energy, any real well, moral outrage. Every other time Liz had raised her voice it was clear that she was simply play-acting, practicing her Sophist rhetoric like the lawyer she was trained to be. It hadn't been clear to me that Liz had any significant amount of reality about her at all. 

Until that night, on that stage. 

I think that her level of reactivity was probably more than she had realized was possible and I think, if she was paying attention, she may have learned a bit about herself and reality. 

On that night, on that stage. 

Since I didn’t watch the whole debate and have only seen a clip of the outburst, I don’t know all of what Mike may have said to pull Lizzy’s chain quite so hard, but it likely had something to do with those NDAs and was probably associated with a bit of chauvinism. Anyway, Liz had to make a point against Mike and so she burst out with:

“At least I didn’t have a boss who said ‘Just kill it!’” 

And she said it with real passion, not fake interest like she does when railing against President Trump or Bernie Sanders. No, whether she meant them to or not, when Lizzy said those words, they came straight from her soul. 

Kill what, Liz? 

A clump of cells? 

Or a human child? 

You see, Liz, if it’s just a lump of cells, then certainly it can be disposed of in the interest of career and a woman’s boss can suggest that she dump it just as they might suggest any other career choice to an employee. If you want to soar in your career, you don’t really want that lump of cells getting in the way, isn’t that right, Liz? 

But Lizzy, what if it really is a human child? I mean, when did your children become real human beings? 

I think Liz knows the answer to that question, and it isn’t “sometime after birth, but we really don’t know when.” 

Is it, Liz? 

You see Liz, that reality that you know deep in your mother’s soul, that you have tamped down, ignored, and pushed aside for these decades of advocating for the killing of children, just exploded out of you, at Mike who had dared suggest that any woman could “just kill” a bunch of cells to advance her career. You were trying to score points, but you were too unguarded for just a few seconds, and you told the world the truth. 

On that night, on that stage. 

You told the truth. 

Isn’t that right, Liz?
