Marching on either side of the abortion debate is not in my
plans. Having heard all of the arguments I have chosen to lean quietly towards
the Pro-Life viewpoint. I rarely discuss this topic. I do respect those who are
Pro-Abortion. However if they are anti-death penalty too, it takes a lot of
effort to shrug off the glaring inconsistency. I am certainly intimidated somewhat
by how ardently Pro-abortion people argue for their viewpoints, especially
those who think it is perfectly acceptable to kill a viable baby in the womb.
For millions of people abortion is a lightening rod issue.
You see this especially with so-called journalists. The news media methodically
supplies an endless stream of stories about women’s freedoms, while offering
scarce if any coverage of the stories like that of serial killer Dr. Kermit
Gosnell of Philadelphia. Gosnell was convicted of murdering three infants who
were born alive during his attempted abortion procedures. No telling how many
times that happened. Gosnell was only caught on three killings. Still, ask
around…….no Democrat and very few Republicans have ever heard of Dr. Kermit Gosnell.
Kermit Gosnell was defended passionately by ardent feminist
Democrats, who somehow have convinced themselves to believe that even when
babies are born alive, the mother should have the “right” to snuff out the
infant’s life. Apparently Gosnell thought so too. Or perhaps he simply needed
to kill the baby dead to justify his fee. Somewhere along the way……“I have a
right to do whatever I want with my body” morphed into, “I should be allowed to
murder little babies that recently exited my body.” It’s the sort of moral
quantum leap you are seeing more and more often with Democrats these days in
the “resistance” era.

It is not surprising that people who think throwing Sarah
Sanders and her family out of a restaurant was a moral imperative, are very unlikely
to re-check their moral compasses, even on mid and late term abortions. This moral
paradox is a testament to the fact that Democrats have profound trouble with consistency.
Beyond consistency Democrats also have a problem with the big multi-generational
political picture. Democrats routinely encourage their constituents to snuff
out future Democrats.
Why do I say this? The numbers don’t lie.
Blacks are ten times more likely to vote Democrat than
Republican. Hispanics are twice as likely to vote Democrat as Republican. Whites
are about 50-50. And yet an African-American woman is almost five times more likely
to have an abortion than a white woman, and a Latina woman is more than twice
as likely to have an abortion as a white woman, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
There is more.
So insistent on the right to snuff out babies lives are
Democrats, that California passed what they dubbed as the “Reproductive FACT
Act” in 2015. This law required pro-life (and predominantly Christian) crisis
pregnancy centers to prominently display information (in multiple languages)
announcing that they do not provide abortions, as well as information about
where abortions are available. The law imposed fines of up to $1,000 per violation.
The fines embedded in this statute would effectively put Pro-Life clinics out
of existence, which of course was the intent of the Democrats who passed this law.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled on National Institute
of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra and struck down the blatantly
unconstitutional law requiring Pro-Life clinics to encourage the snuffing out of
unborn babies in California.
It seems ironic that Pro-life GOP voters on a daily basis beg
Pro-Abortion Democrats not to snuff out their unborn children. And yet Pro-Abortion
Democrats are insistent that snuffing, even late term snuffing is moral,
because it is the woman’s body. They insist that we are not talking about
infants. And so there it is. Millions of future Democrat’s lives are being
terminated at the outset by adult Democrats. It is no wonder Democrats feel the
need to illegally import future Democrats from outside U.S. borders to fill the
void caused by all of these deaths. When you think about this situation, it is
easy to see the macabre nature of thinking behind the Democrat’s open-border
position. They favor late term abortions but object to borders. Curious.
