Classic Leftist hyperbole

News Flash: Spain's conservative government has provoked a storm among women's groups with plans to tighten abortion laws to make the procedure illegal in cases where the foetus is deformed. About 100 people took part in a rally in Madrid's central Tirso de Molina square on Sunday to protest against the proposed reform which they argue will take Spain back to the era of the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. The crowd, mostly women, chanted "We give birth, we decide" and "Not one step backwards. It seems to us to be a throwback to the Franco dictatorship and we are not willing to accept under any circumstances measures that will take away our rights," said Justa Montero, member of the Feminist Assembly, one of the women's groups that organised the protest. Comment: The Left will never give an inch without putting up such an excessively hyperbolic rhetorical fight that you would think they were battling to save the earth from total annihilation. The sooner the Right accepts that this is just the way it's going to be, the sooner we might be able to get started on dismantling the Leftist state we now live in.
