NPR had a report today on illegal dogfighting rings in the U.S. and efforts to curb them. Check out the very logical argument by one pro-life congressman about why he decided to help defeat a bill against dogfighting:
Most of the bill's opponents say they aren't fans of dogfighting but are conservative, pro-life Republicans. Iowa Rep. Steve King says it's wrong for the federal government to criminalize pit bull trafficking while allowing legal abortion.
"My vote says that human life needs to be elevated and stay above animal life. And I think it devalues all human life, when you set the life of an animal up above that of a human," King says.
All right, lemme see if I follow the logic: Until abortion is prohibited, people out of principle should be free to maim, kill, and otherwise be cruel to animals. In that case, is there any better way to celebrate the sanctity of human life than the routine harming and punishing of animals? Heck, until the evildoers among us stop this abortion nonsense, the little critters are just gonna have to pay.
