I was amused to run across someone screaming about the left weaponizing the COVID-19 pandemic, as if he’d never had a civics lesson in his life. Then I ran across this story from the weekend, which rather drives the hypocrisy of the entire debate right in to the nines:
As clinics say they will proceed undeterred, the fight over what constitutes essential care in Ohio could be the first of many as more states heed the U.S. government’s calls for hospitals to suspend unneeded operations and as doctors and nurses warn they’re running out of masks, gowns and drugs. [WaPo]
What, are there so many abortions in Ohio that their use of medical supplies is draining Ohio hospitals of critical supplies?
No, abortions may be optional to those who don’t want them, but for those who want them, they’re a need.
Weaponization, indeed.
