A Matter of Contrast

 
Purely by coincidence, the release of the Planned Parenthood videos came about at roughly the same time as the birth of my granddaughter.

I hear the reports of the things said by the people in these videos. I look at pictures and videos of Amber, study her face and her motions, and the thought comes to me unbidden:

I would kill anybody who threatened her.

When I say “anybody”, it isn’t hyperbole.

When I say “kill”, it isn’t a figure of speech.

No, this isn’t a threat. Those people have no way of reaching her. But if they did …

… if they did, well, that wouldn’t be a good idea at all.
