I wish I still subscribed to the Des Moines Register so I could cancel it again.
A series of lies stacked together in a series of paragraphs - I mean absolutely fact free disinformation - run on an “opinion” page doesn’t make it an opinion. That the Register ran yet another piece of ludicrous right-wing propaganda instead shows you just how bad things are around there.
The title should be a tell; sounds like something ‘ole “sandy hook was a hoax” Alex Jones would bleat out through his bulging, red, tick-like face hole.

Feel free to Google and read all about Bohlken. Prepare yourself though as he has a rap sheet of right wing bonafides that will curl your toenails.
The problem is this: it’s not true. None of it. At all. There isn’t anything that column that is true. Not even that nonsense about animals being great parents. Clearly this gentleman hasn’t lived on a farm, watched Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom nor picked up a National Geographic (probably because he may stray upon a pair of errant boobs or that gay penguin - RIP).
But here’s what is key: Tim Walz signed an omnibus bill that changed language to comport with reality. An infant definitionally is alive by virtue of being spat forth from someone or others womb-parts.
The idea that these MAGA people have lodged in their brains that liberals are just aborting babies, popping popcorn and gathering round the little jerk to watch it die is crazy making; Trump is wandering around out there saying Democrats just execute babies - months after their birth in some cases he figures.
Get a hold of yourselves morons.
An infant is definitionally alive. Changing the language to reflect that fact terrifies the right wingers. If they can’t claim Democrats are child killers and that we watch children “born alive” just die what do they have?
That children who are alive actually need to be cared for beyond the delivery room? That pregnant parents need help and support of birthing centers, job training, public schools and public school breakfast and lunch programs to feed to wee born alives? Air to breath that isn’t full of carcinogens and water to drink that isn’t full up of pesticides, herbicides and pig shit?
OPINION PIECE: “In Minnesota, during Walz’s term as governor, eight babies were born alive in failed abortions between 2019 and 2021. Despite the law requiring they be given life saving care, none were.”
Nope.
This from MN Department of Health: (2021)
In one instance, fetal anomalies were reported resulting in death shortly after delivery. No measures taken to preserve life were reported and the infant did not survive.
In two instance, comfort care measures were provided as planned and the infant did not survive.
In two instances, the infant was previable. No measures taken to preserve life were reported and the infant did not survive.
First Donald you have a counting error - that’s five not eight. Anyone who knows anything about miscarriage leading to necessity for abortion care - it is understood that the procedure will end in the inevitable death. Which is why we have to own the word abortion.
Note that “comfort care” was planned for and provided. That is some of the hardest work that a medical professional can do - comfort a parent as their baby dies? But sure - no aid was given.
OPINION PIECE: In 2023, Gov. Tim Walz signed legislation ending both the requirement to report such births and the requirement to provide life saving care to a baby surviving an abortion.
Nope. Read the language friends. Nothing has changed except the removal of the incorrect nomenclature. And it’s just straight up insulting isn’t it? To our doctors, nurses, parents, our intelligence?
OPINION PIECE: It is impossible to conceive how a major political party, or even a minor party, could knowingly select such candidates for president and vice president. Indeed, it is probable that these facts about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were not widely known. Kamala Harris’ and Tim Walz’s actions permitting infanticide for babies born alive during abortions are now known.
Wait? Is this a case of right wing FOMO? Is Donald here trying to spill some scorching hot bullshit on the Harris/Walz infanticide breaking news train? Is there some other nutty old crank out there claiming even more batshit stuff?
Please reach out to this guy to let him know your thoughts.
