ReasonableLA Times calls Evil Good. Again.

Hat tip to Mark Shea.

What a surprise. A hagiography of one of Moloch's Archpriests and disciples. And why not? He's doing the Reasonable thing: "Offering Abortion, Rebirth" sayz the Los Angeles Times

Yeah, a real life savior. Sure.

Behold the carnage:
Harrison opened an obstetrics and gynecology practice, but after the Supreme Court established abortion as a constitutional right in 1973, he decided to take on an additional specialty. Now 70, Harrison estimates he's terminated at least 20,000 pregnancies.

His clinic has not been picketed for years, but Harrison feels very much on the front lines these days.

(snip)

He calls himself an "abortionist" and says, "I am destroying life."

But he also feels he's giving life: He calls his patients "born again."

"When you end what the woman considers a disastrous pregnancy, she has literally been given her life back," he says.

Before giving up obstetrics in 1991, Harrison delivered 6,000 babies. Childbirth, he says, should be joyous; a woman should never consider it a punishment or an obligation.

"We try to make sure she doesn't ever feel guilty," he says, "for what she feels she has to do."
"Dr." Harrison has murdered at least 20,000 unborn children. He acknowledges that he takes life--and justifies it because it serves the purposes of his patients. This may be all well and Reasonable to Moloch worshippers.

Fools probably would have trouble keeping their dinners down. I know I am. The darkness in which this man lives frightens me. I can only look on in horror as he twists his rational to utter insanity in the pursuit of his twisted ideology. And the patients, the women that come to have their children murdered by him. How heart-breaking!
The abortion takes two minutes. The patient lies still and quiet, her eyes closed, a few tears rolling down her cheeks. The friend who has accompanied her stands at her side, mutely stroking her arm.

When he's done, Harrison performs another ultrasound. The screen this time is blank but for the contours of the uterus. "We've gotten everything out of there," he says.

As the nurse drops the instruments in the sink with a clatter, the teenager looks around, woozy.

"It was a lot easier than I thought it would be," she says. "I thought it would be horrible, but it wasn't. The procedure, that is."

She is not yet sure, she says, how she is doing emotionally. She feels guilty, sad and relieved, all in a jumble.

"There's things wrong with abortion," she says. "But I want to have a good life. And provide a good life for my child." To keep this baby now, she says, when she's single, broke and about to start college, "would be unfair."

A high school volleyball player says she doesn't want to give up her body for nine months. "I realize just from the first three months how it changes everything," she says.

Kim, a single mother of three, says she couldn't bear to give away a child and have to wonder every day if he were loved. Ending the pregnancy seemed easier, she says — as long as she doesn't let herself think about "what could have been."

The 17-year-old in for a consultation this morning assures the nurse that she does not consider the embryo inside her a baby.

"Not until it's developed," she says. "That would be about three months?"

"It's completely formed about nine weeks," the nurse tells her. "Yours is more like a chicken yolk."

The girl, who is five weeks pregnant, looks relieved. "Then no," she says, "it's not a baby." Her mother sits in the corner wiping her tears.

Amanda, a 20-year-old administrative assistant, says it's not the obstacles that surprise her — it's how normal and unashamed she feels as she prepares to end her first pregnancy.

"It's an everyday occurrence," she says as she waits for her 2:30 p.m. abortion. "It's not like this is a rare thing."

Amanda hasn't told her ex-boyfriend that she's 15 weeks pregnant with his child. She hasn't told her parents, either, though she lives with them.

"I figured it was my responsibility," she says.

She regrets having to pay $750 for the abortion, but Amanda says she does not doubt her decision. "It's not like it's illegal. It's not like I'm doing anything wrong," she says.

"I've been praying a lot and that's been a real source of strength for me. I really believe God has a plan for us all. I have a choice, and that's part of my plan."
(emphasis mine)
The consumerism, utilitarianism and Absolute Individualism these young women demonstrate are the walls of their own prison. They enclose themselves in denial, but their consciences will eventually confront them with the inevitable consequences of their act. They hired a "doctor" to murder their children. To save their body, their future, their whatever: their child is dead.

If this is how the Reasonable moloch-worshippers hope to promote "choice," they'll succeed only in disgusting Joe and Jane sixpack. All they need now is video-streaming!

Lord, enlighten your people!
