Juxtapose these two stories. The first being that of a British TV star who could be jailed because a “Down” baby squeaked by and was born, thus avoiding abortion, and should be “put down” against a Jonathan Gruber clip who testifies in support of the Obamacare “Death Panels” and abortion. He terms it “positive selection.” Here we go:
A BBC reality TV star could be jailed for posting on Facebook that children born with Down’s Syndrome should be ‘put down’.
Ursula Presgrave – who appeared on BBC3’s The Call Centre – was taken to court after saying disabled children should be killed instead of living the ‘pointless life of a vegetable’.
The 23-year-old pleaded guilty to an offence under the Malicious Communications act and now faces a maximum sentence of six months in jail or a £5,000 fine.
Presgrave, who was known on the BBC show for her tattoos, piercings and foul language, told Facebook followers: ‘Anyone born with down syndrome should be put down, it’s just cruel to let them lead a pointless life of a vegetable.’
The call centre worker, who appeared alongside Nev Wilshire in the BBC Three fly-on-the-wall series, was arrested after police also found photos joking about the disabled on her phone, Swansea Magistrates’ Court heard. Keep Reading…
Here is a previous post Obamacare Gruber: ‘Abortion of marginal children’ a ‘social good’ UPDATE December 8, 2014
Embattled MIT professor Jonathan Gruber has not only gotten in trouble for bragging about helping President Obama put one over on the American people with Obamacare, he’s also been uncovered as an abortion advocate—but not a run-of-the-mill advocate of “women’s rights.”
No, Gruber’s abortion advocacy is of a particularly pungent eugenics variety. He’s on record repeatedly making the case from social science that abortion is a “social good” because it reduces the number of “marginal children,” by which he means urban poor—those he says can be counted on to commit crimes if they were ever born.
Gruber co-authored a paper during the Clinton years which argued that legal abortion had saved the U.S. taxpayer upwards of $14 billion in welfare benefits and that it also lowered crime.

I have never known a family with a Down Syndrome child who didn’t say that child brought immense joy to their lives…compare that child to a tattoo’d, pierced dumb actress.
No contest.

As Americans (and Brits) become more unthinkingly fascist in their underlying morality, this will cease to be an issue except for those increasingly fewer people who cannot split their Christian or Jewish faith from their everyday thinking. By 2030 I’d be surprised if any Down’s Syndrome children are allowed by law to live in Europe or the USA.

The constant drumbeat is to make the unreasonable seem rational.

The difference is the Brit chick (that’s sexist so hopefully these comments aren’t monitored) is speaking as a private citizen. The arrogant elitist piece of shit Gruber would have terminated guys like me who were born out of wedlock. This prick is in a position to influence fellow travelers like Obama who has the unfettered power to kill us all…probably with no pushback from any quarter.

A very good point. There is no question that if we can accept selling baby parts without regret, pushing grandma to get her organs and her money is the next step.

IDK about “push back” but the liberal delusion is predicated on the belief that none of us will return fire. More fools they!
