I posted an article before dealing with the right-wing's argument against abortion (
Right Wing Anti-Abortion Movement) and while continuing to look into the Trayvon Martin case and those that are defending Zimmerman, mainly on the right, I had a thought. Isn't what Zimmerman did to a defenseless, innocent young man the same thing that the right-wing abhors when it happens to the unborn? The emphasis on the inability of the fetus to defend itself, the innocence of the fetus and the cruelty of the doctor that performs said procedure has been the mantra for the right wing's anti-abortion campaign for years. Well, I submit that Trayvon Martin was innocent and defenseless. Zimmerman had a 9mm, Martin had a bag of skittles.
ANYONE on the "right" that is NOT outraged at this murder "late term abortion" better not EVER say another word about abortion, ever. That's exactly what this is equivalent to, a late term abortion performed by George Zimmerman. He extinguished a life that had so much potential but, to use the right's argument, because he killed Trayvon Martin, we will never know what that potential would have been. That's their new argument against abortion, the potential of the unborn to do whatever it is that they would do had they lived. Zimmerman aborted the life of Trayvon Martin and we may never know what Mr. Martin could have accomplished had he lived. He could have been our next president, he could have been the person that developed the cure for cancer, he could have been the next great African-American writer or poet- we will never know thanks to Zimmerman.
I say this in response to Fox News and the Blaze that have tried to paint Zimmerman as the victim in this case. Zimmerman is in an indefensible position and anyone that seeks to defend him by assassinating the character of Trayvon Martin is just as sick as Zimmerman is.
