© 2018 Jim Spence - Polls have been discredited rather astoundingly in the last
few years. Pollsters call people to get their views. Ummmm……..people don’t have
land lines much anymore and very few people I know will answer a call from an
unrecognized number on their mobiles. Still, pollsters, with many biases that lead
to inaccurate readings are still using techniques from the pre-digital era. They
have to make money, so they sell their services to politicians and media outlets
who report their findings as if they are fact.
One of my most respected media outlets, the Wall Street Journal, reported that 71% of Americans oppose the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, the
dubious Supreme Court ruling that found a mythical “Constitutional Right” to
abort. It’s not in there. Believe me I’ve looked for it.
Now, for all you pro-abortion people, I also don’t find it
dubious at all that states would have the “legal authority” to make at least early term
abortion legal. This authority was reserved for the states in the constitution.
I actually see the reality of the 71% number in favor of abortion in my own
interactions. I run into rabidly pro-abortion thinkers often. Many
are women who think it is absurd that men tell them what to do with their “bodies.”
Debates with these types are rarely fruitful endeavors that might produce deep
thought. Hence, the emergence of a genocidal monsters like Kermit Gosnell
(google him) who killed viable babies, who were born due to his botched late-term abortion procedures. Apparently killing a viable infant can be tricky
business.
Many feminists defend abortionists like Gosnell who kill live babies as
if unwilling birth-giving mothers “still have the right” to snuff out the baby
that is lying on the table and breathing. 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 during
the ummmm……..“resistance” era.
I interact with many Republicans (I am an independent) who
are also very much pro-abortion. One GOP woman confided in me that she was morally
opposed to abortion, but legally in favor of it. She explained that her views
are such because abortion is essentially not stoppable and also a "Democrat killer." Why would she
say that, I wondered? She explained.
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 on voting. 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. This
data comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You do the
math. Future Democrats are far more likely to be killed by adult Democrats than
future Republicans.
As I wrote in an earlier column, it seems ironic that
Pro-life GOP voters will, on a daily basis, beg Pro-Abortion Democrats not to
snuff out their unborn children. And yet Pro-Abortion Democrats are insistent
that snuffing them out, even the late term snuffing out of viable babies is
moral. They insist that we are not talking about infants. Now that is
self-delusion and you don’t need a constitution or a court system to figure out.
