Pro-choice = terrorist

I saw this interview last night (admittedly on the Daily Show) where Karen Hughes equates abortion with terrorism. Particularly interesting is the part:

"BLITZER: There is a clear difference when it comes to abortion rights between the president and his Democratic challenger, John Kerry. In your opinion, Karen, how big of an issue will this abortion rights issue be in this campaign?

HUGHES: Well, Wolf, it's always an issue. And I frankly think it's changing somewhat. I think after September 11th the American people are valuing life more and realizing that we need policies to value the dignity and worth of every life.

And President Bush has worked to say, let's be reasonable, let's work to value life, let's try to reduce the number of abortions, let's increase adoptions.

And I think those are the kind of policies that the American people can support, particularly at a time when we're facing an enemy, and really the fundamental difference between us and the terror network we fight is that we value every life. It's the founding conviction of our country, that we're endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, the right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Unfortunately our enemies in the terror network, as we're seeing repeatedly in the headlines these days, don't value any life, not even the innocent and not even their own."

This conversation speaks for itself. "We" value every life, whereas the terrorists don't even value the life of the innocent. This is the difference between "Us" and "Them".

I'm thinking that the more airtime given to the Bush Administration to speak its "mind", the less airtime Kerry has to purchase. Then we'll find out exactly what Bush is thinking:

"Gay marriage is terrorism"
"Cheap Canadian medication is terrorism"
"John Kerry is the devil"
"Canada is a rogue terrorist state"

Hey, it could happen.
