Forced birther claims fetuses are ‘burned to power the lights of the city’s homes and streets’

Foster explains that these abortions develop into “our bodies which can be thrown away in medical waste bins,” after which she reveals one thing that nobody in Washington, D.C., or wherever on this planet knew: Washington’s electrical grid relies on abortions. What, you say? Am I speaking about, you ask? Right here’s Foster to elucidate that fetuses, “in locations like Washington, D.C., [are] burned to energy the lights of the town’s houses and streets.”

Washington state Sen. Emily Randall and RuralOrganizing.org’s Matt Hildreth discuss what they’re seeing and listening to whereas knocking on doorways, this week on Day by day Kos’ The Transient podcast

Is that presumably true? Had you heard that made-up truth earlier than? As a result of it’s utterly made up. However you understand who else believes that liberal cities use incinerated fetuses to mild their houses and streets? The pressured birther “activist” who was arrested after a stash of fetuses was found in her D.C. house. That’s the identical lady whose anti-abortion group is now “claiming” that the group acquired these 5 fetuses saved in her house off of a medical truck that had 115 fetuses. The place are the lacking fetuses? The pressured birther group says they buried all however 5, after which I assume determined to cover 5 fetuses, unburied, of their house? Acquired it. The story is doubtful, to say the least. Isn’t there one thing in a bible or two about not bearing false witness?

The place did this wild speaking level come from? It comes from the identical misinformation bubble that led Republican Nebraska state Sen. Bruce Bostelman to announce on the ground of the Nebraska state Senate that elementary faculty lecturers had been spending cash on kitty litter with a view to cater to youngsters who recognized as “furries.” They weren’t they usually nonetheless aren’t.

Nobody is powering something with organic waste. As Salon factors out, this sort of disinformation is in step with basic, soggy, right-wing conspiracy theories. This delusion is like a “a janky model of the Matrix” the place our society is being powered by abortions as a substitute of individuals. Probably the most pathetic features of those sorts of conspiracy theories is how poorly they’re written. At the very least The Matrix retains some logic inside its personal fictional universe.

For the entire discuss “non secular freedom,” the actual fact stays that the pressured birther place is a spiritual one which’s not supported by many even older religions, and most Christians don’t maintain the views on the matter that evangelicals do. You possibly can try to inaccurately describe surgical procedure and medical procedures all you need, however it doesn’t change what most Individuals consider are inalienable human rights.

The issue right here is that what these right-wingers need to consider is simply too good to be true of their estimation. Once you solely can see monsters, it’s worthwhile to discover proof, and quick. In any other case, after a time, you may understand there’s just one monster—and it stares again at you in your rest room mirror each morning.
