The limited legislation lie
In the Sunday, March 10 Des Moines Register, columnist Kathie Obradovich wrote "There's no such thing as a limited death penalty. Politicians like to use that phrase because they think it makes state-sanctioned death more politically palatable."
Obradovich was right. Once legislators get a foothold, they (or successors) seek to broaden what has been established.
I've written of my own lifelong opposition to capital punishment numerous times, most recently, only yesterday (see below).
Another example of the exact phenomenon of which Obradovich warned is illustrated by recollection of Roe v Wade-era abortion proponents.
Like current Iowa execution advocates, they sought public accommodation for 'limited' procedures by highlighting horrific instances of rape. They also wove tales of medical misadventures in proverbial back alleys.
Even in the 1990s, Bill Clinton and other leading Democrats urged that abortions be safe and rare. But liberals have come a long way, baby -- in a monstrous direction.
2019 Democrat presidential nomination candidates like Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Cory Booker proclaim at every opportunity their whole-hearted devotion to the deceptive "reproductive rights" and "women's health" causes.
(It is surely hoped that, like "limited death penalty," those deceptive slogans make calculated inhumanity politically palatable.)
Entertainers encourage fans to "shout your abortions." Lena Dunham even expressed regret that she has never killed a baby.
Abortion enthusiasts today press partial and post-birth infanticide with gruesome fervor. Related legislation was proposed in Virginia by Democrat state Del. Kathy Tran. It was applauded by that state's wicked Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam. A similar bill was recently signed into law by NY Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
In video of Cuomo's signing event, his allies were seen cheering the evil act. It was the stomach-turning product of the limited legislation lie.
