Terrorism by Another Name

In a recent Democratic presidential debate, all three candidates came down hard on terrorism:

Hillary Clinton said that terrorism shows “the total disregard for human life.”

Martin O’Malley noted that “All lives matter,” adding that he shared “the goal of protecting human life.”

Bernie Sanders noted how awful it is “that we should allow children to be sexually assaulted and kidnapped.”

All three of these pro-choice candidates are hypocritical because abortion is just terrorism by another name. Abortion shows the total disregard for human life. Don’t unborn lives matter? How can we claim to protect human life when we kill one million of our own children each year? As horrible as the crimes of sexual assault and kidnapping of children are, is it a lesser crime to snuff out a child’s innocent life? How is the murder of a victim of terrorism worse than that of an innocent child?
