Liberals Say: Pay For Murder’s Sex-Change Operation
This story is truly unbelievable. Yet, it is not atypical of the idiocy that is liberalism.
In Massachusetts, a prisoner serving life in prison for murder has sued to force the state to pay for a sex-change operation.
According to the article, the Court has listened hundreds of hours of testimony from medical experts and other witnesses in trying to decide this case. The state Correction Department has already spent $52,000 on expert testimony.
And the case was allowed to proceed!
Following are two quotes, one from a Republican lawmaker, the other from a liberal attorney. Which one is rooted in logic and actually makes sense and which one doesn’t?
From the article:
“They are prisoners. They are there because they’ve broken the law,” said Republican state Sen. Scott Brown, who unsuccessfully introduced a bill to ban sex-change surgery for inmates. “Other folks, people who want to get these types of surgeries, they have to go through their insurance carrier or save up for it and do it independently. Yet if you are in prison, you can do it for nothing? That doesn’t make a lot of sense.”
But advocates say in some cases - such as that of Kosilek, who has twice attempted suicide - sex-change surgery is as much a medical necessity as treatment for diabetes or high blood pressure.
“The duty belongs to the prison to figure out how to fulfill its constitutional obligations to both provide adequate medical care and provide a fundamental security for all inmates,” said Cole Thaler, an attorney with Lambda Legal, a gay- and transgender-rights group.
The quote from the lawyer represents the third-party responsibility attitude of most liberals. Everyone else is responsible for you, except yourself. Criminals aren’t responsible for their crimes, they are the product of a bad environment. Welfare mothers aren’t responsible for supporting their children and themselves, taxpayers are. Parents aren’t responsible for educating their children, schools are. Americans aren’t responsible for providing for their own healthcare, the government is. And in this absurd case, the taxpayers of Massachusetts are responsible for paying for a sex-change operation for a sexually-deviant nutcase murderer!
Liberals really are a twisted, delusional bunch, aren’t they? I highly suspect the judge is a liberal, because any judge with a brain would have thrown this case out of Court long ago.
Common sense and logic go completely out the window when liberals are involved.
