Cringe time this morning while leafing through ultra-liberal USA Today’s sympathetic piece on a left-wing tragedy in Texas. With a straight face, reporter Richard Wolf shed printed tears for abortion-seekers forced to travel hefty distances to kill their babies.

I was on my second Kleenex box by the third paragraph.

Texas, second largest state in the union, is where normal people easily outnumber liberals. This is why the Austin government was able to start reducing the number of abortion mills from a peak of 44 down to presently 19, en route to 10.

Sit down, close your eyes and remove your left shoe before swallowing three numerical whoppers:

• Sixty thousand Texas women kill off their babies every year.
• This is my favorite statistic – 300,000 women live more – heaven forbid – than 200 miles from their nearest friendly neighborhood abortion mill.

That caused a change of heart to an undisciplined girl named Veronica (“don’t tell anyone my last name”). Unmarried, she has a 3-year-old, a 1-year-old, and by darn, there she was with child again. Who knows how it happens? When she wanted her babies to live, her home was practically walking distance from an abortion mill, 50 miles away, in Corpus Christi. When she decided it was time to start killing off whatever happened when, mystifyingly, she became pregnant, she found herself 125 miles from a mill and. darn again, with not enough money to make the trip. Mr. Wolf said she postponed knocking off her child.

He also relates the story of Lisa Marii Montes of Midland.  Her closest abortion mill was 300 miles away. While driving there, she changed her mind. She gave her baby life for the second time.

Oh, baby, was Lisa Marii lucky. She was headed for something called the Whole Women’s Health clinic where a latter-day Sister Teresa hangs out. Her name is Bhavik Kumar, and she is a 30-year-old really, really, really dedicated doctor. Bha, as pals refer to her, probably is not destined to become Mommy of the Year long as she lives on this planet.

Mr. Wolf tells us this tireless medic divides her day between abortion mills in Ft. Worth and San Antonio.

Not wanting to boast, she says that she kills 36 babies a day sometimes.

I would not want to be a toe if she ever kvetches that her feet are killing her.
