Is the Name Sly, Too?
01/07/2004

I don't know that I've ever seen a more apt example of the thinking behind the "pro-choice" abortion position — whether it's out of a lack of deliberate consideration or derives from evil impulses — than this tidbit from Howard Dean's past, offered in passing in a George Neumayr piece:

Such lies and schemes are familiar to Vermont pro-lifers. They are still shaking their heads over Dean's "Dr. Dynasaur" health care program which allowed low-income mothers to claim their unborn child for eligibility in the program, then gave them funds to abort the child.

Children when convenient, unwanted growths when not. I wonder, though, whether it occurred to anybody who participated in the naming of the program that the dinosaurs are extinct.
