Ed Martin furious that reality is biased against him
The response to yesterday's court ruling on the lawsuit from Ed Martin and the Missouri Roundtable for Life was some pretty classic stuff.
In the totally-insane-rhetoric department, they decried the "tyrannical judiciary in bed with elected officials." By "tyranny," I guess they mean any decisions made by an independent judiciary that they don't like. (Would the judge's decision have been tyrannical if it was in their favor? Exactly.)
In the facts-are-not-our-friend department, Martin and the Roundtable remain extremely concerned about any efforts to accurately describe what they're trying to do, and believe reality to be "biased" against them:
Missouri Roundtable for Life claimed the phrase ''necessary to save the life of the mother'' would bias voters against the ballot measure. Among other things, the group also claimed the reference to ''stem cell research currently allowed under Missouri law'' was prejudicial compared to its preferred wording of banning funding for ''human cloning.''
The judge's ruling said Missouri law already bans public funding for abortions not necessary to save the life of a woman. Joyce said the initiative would make illegal to spend public money for abortions, even if necessary to save a woman's life.
Facts. Hopelessly biased against them.
