PRIVACY: Rights all wrong

So they charged two pro-lifers with multiple felonies for video recording their stings of Planned Parenthood’s negotiations to sell baby body parts.

Notice 1) this takes place in California (‘nuf said); 2) similar charges were dropped in Texas; 3) the state Attorney General is a “longtime Congressional Democrat” (‘nuf said); 4) one of the charges was for “criminal conspiracy to invade privacy” (well, heck yeah — ya gotta have privacy while butchering babies and selling their body parts); 5) the AG said the state “will not tolerate the criminal recording of conversations.” (‘course we’re flooded with all kinds of leaked secret recordings of conversations in the world of politics); 6) media operatives, whistle blowers, political moles — all heroes — pro-lifers? Felons. 7) the pro-lifers are charged with telling about ghoulish acts, but the acts themselves are protected.

It’s interesting that the Supreme Court in 1973 found a “right to privacy” in a Constitution where the word never appears and this California case relies on the same fantasy. There are a ton of things we can’t do while claiming privacy, but killing babies and selling their body parts ain’t one of them. The victims can’t complain.
