In the single most absurd, irrational argument against health care reform I’ve seen to date, Chuck Norris takes a break from marketing his fitness equipment to pen a ridiculous screed for the right wing news sites, asking the question: What if Mother Mary Had Obamacare?

In Norris’s addled world, it’s a distinct possibility that Mary might have had an abortion. Yes, really, that’s what he wrote. I know, I couldn’t believe it either.

As we near the eve of another Christmas, I wonder: What would have happened if Mother Mary had been covered by Obamacare? What if that young, poor and uninsured teenage woman had been provided the federal funds (via Obamacare) and facilities (via Planned Parenthood, etc.) to avoid the ridicule, ostracizing, persecution and possible stoning because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy? Imagine all the great souls who could have been erased from history and the influence of mankind if their parents had been as progressive as Washington’s wise men and women! Will Obamacare morph into Herodcare for the unborn?

Excuse me while I find some aspirin. I’m getting a headache.
