As this article is written, lawmakers on Capitol Hill are participating in congressional hearings, examining the ramifications of last month’s decision Dobbs annulment of the decision Roe v. Wade AND Casey v. Planned Parenthoodtwo Supreme Court decisions that allowed abortion on demand in America.
Democrats are expressing all the expected objections to the anti-abortion stance of most Republicans, including the recent, horrific story of a 10-year-old girl who was raped and impregnated by an illegal immigrant in Ohio. Republicans must now defend their position and face the reality of what meaning their pro-life stance will have on these scarce occasions.
While it may be uncomfortable for pro-life advocates and politicians to confront this issue, it is important to debate it openly.
This debate was thwarted in 1972 by an arbitrary and extra-constitutional decree drawn up from total material by judges who confirmed Roe. This stymied any real discussion of this critical issue, and for 50 years the debate took place solely in the context of the president’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
Now everything becomes real. Now the debate will impact every state’s laws and medical guidelines regarding this earnest medical procedure. Good. That’s how it should be.
If Republican politicians cannot argue why an impregnated 10-year-old rape victim should not be legally allowed to destroy the life growing inside her as a result of this evil, brutal act, then these Republicans should change their position or step off the stage and allow more a capable politician to present arguments on their behalf.
Meanwhile, Republicans grappling with the fresh reality must also seize this moment and force their political opponents to also defend their extreme positions on the issue.
At this point, Democrats seem unable to admit that only women get pregnant when they are pregnant. It may seem arduous to discuss abortion with a political monolith that does not recognize that men are incapable of having a child, but this is the unreal reality that the left has imposed on our public discourse and Republicans should continue to press the issue to expose , how outside reality their opponents are.
Democrats also have some blind spots in this horrific Ohio story.
First of all, they must reckon with their despicable behavior by presenting this nightmare scenario as a weapon to put in the heads of the six judges who ruled in Dobbs and pro-life supporters who celebrated it. President Biden and his pro-abortion cheerleaders quickly spread the story, although there was initially no confirmation or corroboration of the initial, sketchy reports coming from an Indiana abortionist.
For abortion enthusiasts, the victimization of this little girl was merely an opportunity to make an emotional argument for more votes in November. “For God’s sake,” Biden blasphemously pleaded, invoking the Almighty as a means to induce turnout in the upcoming election.
Biden and the Democrats raged with white-hot rage against the six pro-life judges and Republicans and found not a single word of condemnation for the real evil villain in this story: The Rapist.
A little girl is attacked and impregnated by an evil assailant, and Democrats direct their anger at the Supreme Court. They never even went through the process of checking if the story was true. Journalists have been trying for a week to verify the origin of this alleged rape, and even Biden’s propaganda newspaper “The Washington Post” casts earnest doubts on it.
Finally, there was an arrest yesterday. He is suspicious illegal immigrant who was protected from deportation by Democrats’ failed immigration policies.
As the president and his party watched this story unfold, their only take on the matter was that the only horror worth mentioning was that a 10-year-old girl would be forced, under the laws of some states, to carry her unborn child until the deadline. That’s all. That’s all they saw here. In their opinion, the real crime was the lack of abortion.
To be clear, this story is nauseating and heartbreaking, and the plight of this girl and her family cuts to the very core of everyone’s emotions and sensibilities. Moreover, righteous anger for justice and the harshest punishment for this evil rapist must be something we can all agree on, even if we cannot join in our outrage at the fact that this piece of filth should never have been included in our country comes first.
If pro-life politicians are earnest about their position, they must return to the fundamental and undeniable issue surrounding any discussion of abortion: who is the unborn?
A human fetus developing in its mother’s womb is a nascent human life. Regardless of the circumstances of its creation, it is what it is. Whether born from a romantic encounter for the purpose of procreation, or from a drunken one-night stand, or even from that unspeakable act of violence, the one immutable truth is that a fetus is a human life.
Innocent lives cannot be allowed to be destroyed for convenience.
This is the fundamental truth that underlies the pro-life movement, and the scientific and moral truth behind this position is undeniable. That’s what gives this position such strength.
However, for now, the rest of the country does not share this position.
We have just ended almost 50 years of abortion on demand, for any reason, at any time during the nine-month gestation period. Our country is not going to spend a dime and roll back this level of abortion access in a matter of weeks Dobbs decision. It just won’t.
Recent polls show that the huge majority of Americans agree with a ban on abortion after the 15th week of pregnancy. A smaller majority would move that window back, and many would ban all abortions except in cases of rape or incest.
The debate is taking place right now, live, before our eyes. And we, the people, through our elected representatives, will have the final say. At last.
If the only abortions we allowed as a nation were for girls, as in this tragic case in Ohio, I suspect most pro-life advocates would sleep soundly knowing that we have gone from almost a million abortions a year in this country to just a few. this applies only to the most unusual, terrible circumstances.
If, as a nation, a majority of our states adopt a 15-week position or allow abortion in cases of rape or incest, it will not be a pure and perfect pro-life resolution. However, this would be a position developed democratically, not a court order.
