Humans or Beasts?

Have you ever watched a cat play with a live mouse? The cat playfully swats the mouse around. If the mouse tries to escape. the cat secures it with one paw, then releases it and swats it around some more. Eventually the tiny creature succumbs... perhaps to physical injuries. Perhaps to a heart attack.

Have you ever watched video of an Orca swim close to shore, grab a live seal and swim back out to deep water. There the orca playfully tosses the seal into the air and catches it. Eventually consuming its prey.

At least these beasts are driven to food. Apparently not hungrily, or they would quickly devour their catch. Humans don't do such things.

Yes, they do!

In the early years of World War II, Japanese soldiers in occupied Nanking, China, reportedly tossed Chinese babies into the air and caught them on their bayonets. The catching soldier in return removed the infant from his bayonet by tossing the bleeding child into the air again for one of his comrades to catch. When they tired of the game, they left the tiny carcass lying in the street.

Equally, or perhaps in an even more grotesque accusation, Japanese soldiers, upon spotting a pregnant Chinese or Korean woman, placed bets on the sex of the unborn child. They then slit the pregnant mother's abdomen, ripped out the fetus, determined its sex and collected on or paid off their bets.

Inhuman? Yes, but is it more so than the abortionist who clinically does essentially the same thing? Not placing a bet on the unborn child's sex, but perhaps because of it?

Now we hear of another act of inhumanity by humans, this from the halls of academia. At Hunter College in Manhattan, the most populated school in the CUNY group, students (identified as 'mostly boys', so apparently some girls participate) have devised an 'abortion game'. Opposing players inflate a balloon and stick it under their T-shirt. Each player is armed with a plastic fork, and the objective is to pop your opponent's balloon.

As two players dance around, stabbing at each others 'belly', onlookers chant "Kill that baby." If you have the stomach, you can watch it here.

Even the most ardent pro-choice Liberal has to shudder at this story.
