Others they report indicate that some women are actually tossing their babies over the barbed wire in a frantic effort to save them from the scumbags of the Taliban, a terrorist organization the idiot leaders on the Left  believe they can dialog with in the near future.

If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes, you have no heart.

Seriously, imagine if Trump were in charge instead of this barely sentient vegetable. I know that bringing Trump into the equation is what's known as "whataboutism," but you know that the press would have had a field day. As it is, even with their far-Left leanings, they are giving Biden a hard time and he isn't used to it. In fact, he's hardly making himself available to the press after his short speech followed by a retreat to the Camp David retreat.

Stuart Ramsey reporting for Sky News, said “[A] senior officer told me they had no choice because the situation was out of control, but said the blockade will live with some of his soldiers for the rest of their lives. ‘It was terrible, women were throwing their babies over the razor wire, asking the soldiers to take them, some got caught in the wire,’ he told me. ‘I’m worried for my men, I’m counseling some, everyone cried last night.’” 

I News reported, “The report from Kabul by war correspondent Kim Sengupta is one of the most upsetting stories we have published. At Kabul airport, a Parachute Regiment officer tells Kim that Afghan mothers have been trying to throw their babies over the barbed wire to British servicemen, in the hope that their children can be saved from life under the Taliban. Some of the babies did not reach the troops.”

The U.S. State Department wrote in November 2001, just after the United States had ousted the Taliban from power:

Under Taliban rule, women were given only the most rudimentary access to health care and medical care, thereby endangering the health of women, and in turn, their families. In most hospitals, male physicians could only examine a female patient if she were fully clothed, ruling out the possibility of meaningful diagnosis and treatment.

These Taliban regulations led to a lack of adequate medical care for women and contributed to increased suffering and higher mortality rates. Afghanistan has the world’s second worst rate of maternal death during childbirth. About 16 out of every 100 women die giving birth. Inadequate medical care for women also meant poor medical care and a high mortality rate for Afghan children. Afghanistan has one of the world’s highest rates of infant and child mortality. According to the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), 165 of every 1000 babies die before their first birthday.

In a U.N. report on Children and Armed Conflict, there have been 6,470 grave violations against children between 2019 and 2020. Over 3,000 of these violations were committed by the Taliban. 

If you believe the Taliban is going to be softer and more gentle once they're in full power in Afghanistan, you probably think that AOC is an economic genius. Face it, the Taliban is evil and believe their evil behavior is religiously justified.
