Should We Change The Abortion News Stories?
« on: January 20, 2011, 01:52:35 am »

Conservative Abortion News Story
Currently, we have a conservative news story where a late-term aborted fetus was interviewed on TV. Apperantly, I stumbled upon an abortion doctor that was arrested for "technically" murdering babies in the United States by using a procedure called scissoring.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41154527/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts

I think replacing the "interview" with this type of murder allegation could help in the satiriziation of modern politics, but I'm not so sure about doing that, especially because, even as I tend to be conservative/moderate on abortion, I don't seem to view this news article as being all that important. I could see arch-conservatives screaming though.

Liberal Abortion News Story
The liberal abortion story had an abortion doctor murdered by a religious person. However in the LCS world, violence always work, so long as you don't shoot your own kind. At the same time, abortion doctor murders are part and parcel of domestic terrorism Should we just rewrite the story so the abortion doctor was murdered in a bombing that happened kill Conservatives as well, simulating the "Alienation" mechanic?

The clinic murder story helps Liberals because the murderer was clearly a heartless, cruel and obviously evil person with no respect for life itself!

Yeah, violence only works in the LCS world if you spin the story your way.

That would work great with newspaper headlines.

If your hated the Newspapers should respect that with headlines like "Is it the Rapture?" or something like that.

If your loved it should treat you more like a deadly rebel group.

One can argue that in fact the murders of the abortion doctors helped the cause of the anti-abortion groups.

From what I recall, the doctor is actually accused of murdering live babies, infants past the "fetal" stage.  And a pregnant client.

It's a great story for LCS.

You could change the liberal abortion news story to something about a woman dying in childbirth after being denied an abortion.
