Congressional Democrats love to quote Scripture, about mercy and justice and caring for the powerless and vulnerable, until the subject is the unborn. They they are like the woman in "Three Faces of Eve" -- a whole other personality comes out.

And, yes, Republicans are often just as cynical in the opposite way.

There's no practical way to do it, but how I wish there were a kind of electronic dog collar on all these pols that gave them a zap whenever they engage in this hypocrisy.
