Globama looking to get in on the left wing mud-sling at Brazil

Perhaps not a widely known story is that of the little 9 year old Brazilian girl who was raped and impregnated by her stepfather. When her pregnancy was discovered doctors quickly and rightly terminated her pregnancy. Abortion is illegal in Brazil except to save the life of the mother. Obviously, this was one of those cases in which an abortion was completely justified. The little girl's stepfather, who admitted to sexually abusing the child since the age of 6, is now under arrest.

The sad reality though, is the Catholic church in Brazil has ex-communicated the child's doctors and mother for agreeing to and performing the abortion, which is, in any reasoning person's opinion, reprehensible on the part of the Church. However, the Church in Brazil doesn't govern the nation of Brazil. The Church in Brazil does not put people in jail. The Church in Brazil does not govern one's going about to do business, work and live their lives. If the Church wishes to be so harsh as to condemn a 9 year old child to death for the sake of a child she carries from her abusive stepfather, they do so in thought, not in law. Screw them.

However, the political left wackos have seized this opportunity in order to attack, as usual, anything and all "religious" (excepting Islam, New Age, Buddism and Wicca of course).

This has become a "HUGE" story with the left wing anti-judeo/christian, atheist nutcases. Not because it involves the horrific abuse of a child, but rather because it involves the Catholic Church and its coldness towards the plight of a little girl. The real reality is, to the left this is not about the abuse of a little girl, but rather about abortion, birth control, getting the UN girl-child program involved, kicking the Church in the arse, forcing morality legislation upon society, parents, individuals and governmental systems.

To the left, this has nothing to do with child abuse. This is just another opportunity to launch an attack - weep, wail and lament against the evil Judaic/Christian empires of the world.

And it looks like Globama just found himself a new opportunity to strenghten his image as the left's anointed one. He has suddenly become interested in a parental custody battle between an American parent and - you'll never guess - a Brazilian stepparent.

Little things like teen girls in Texas forced into marriage, a war in Iraq and Afghanistan, North Korean and Iranian nukes, soldiers giving their lives, newly poor relations with our allies, and a desperately crumbling economy should be set aside of course.

Coincidence? I think not. Approval ratings have been slipping lately.
