Germans Finally Stop Discriminating Against Babies

July 10, 2008 / 9:35 pm • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

Life is not fair–especially for babies. Babies are stuck. If their moron parents wait too long to change their diapers, babies must suffer. Babies don’t get to drink French wine and that’s just l’abominable. Babies don’t know the pleasures of Kobe beef. Babies are deprived of the pleasures of sexual relations. Babies don’t get to serve in the military. Most of all, babies don’t get to vote.

It. Is. Not. Fair.

German babies will be equal, finally:

According to the head of the liberal Free Democratic Party ­ traditional coalition partner of Chancellor Merkel’s CDU party ­ the constitutional change would enfranchise 14 million people.

“Unfortunately in Germany, 17 per cent of the population, namely the children and adolescent, are excluded from political decision making,” said FDP chief Dirk Niebel.

“This is a situation we cannot accept any longer. We generally have to pay more attention to their interests.” The law is proposed as part of a review of voting rights which its champions hope will be in force for the federal elections in Germany next year.

Dirk, you are so right. Disenfranchised babies have been a problem, a big problem. I mean, it’s almost as bad as how poorly treated the Jews used to be. Almost.
