I would like to begin by encouraging you to read two articles: “Pennsylvania reports most abortions in 10 years, three times more complications than in 2017” and “Media, Democrats falsely paint pro-lifers as anti-democracy ahead of 2024 elections.” Calvin Freiburger and Jonathon Van Maren are both passionate pro-life writers and have a gift for prose.
I am consistently impressed by the depth and breadth of their analysis. Their posts never fail to challenge my preconceptions and leave me eager for their next contribution.
For instance, Van Maren’s synopsis of the pro-abortionists’ (and their media allies’) response to the 2022 Dobbs decision is particularly noteworthy. This decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade after 49 years, has been met with a strong and varied response from those who support abortion rights.
He writes
In response, abortion allies pursue a variety of tactics to keep the abortion industry going, such as embedding “rights” to abortion in state constitutions, easy access to abortion pills, legal protection and financial support of interstate abortion travel, constructing new abortion facilities near borders shared by pro-life and pro-abortion states, and making liberal states sanctuaries for those who want to evade or violate the laws of more pro-life neighbors.
In summary, this deserves an A+. Pro-abortion forces have consolidated their position in states where abortion is permitted, such as Illinois and Vermont, and New Jersey. They have employed deceptive tactics to persuade voters to approve constitutional amendments that expand abortion rights in states where the unborn have supporters. This is facilitated by various strategies to make it easier for women to access the abortion pill. (For further details, please refer to the Biden administration’s HHS, which removed virtually all safeguards.)
Freiburger discussed how, following the Dobbs decision, a number of states have enacted protective legislation, while others have had older laws enacted pre-Dobbs that have been “triggered” by the Supreme Court decision. He writes
The Democrats intend to make support for democracy and support for abortion synonymous, and the media has already picked up on this theme.
If one were to consider the words that emanate from President Biden’s mouth, it would be evident that they are devoid of any semblance of benevolence.
At some level, it is difficult to believe that President Biden fully comprehends the potential dangers of casually invoking racism to “explain” the motivations of pro-life advocates.
I recall his inaugural address on January 21, 2021.
The same individual who is adept at demonizing his opponents on that particular day invoked President Lincoln, who on New Year’s Day 1863 signed the Emancipation Proclamation. President Lincoln stated, “If my name is to be recorded in history, it will be for this act, and my entire being is invested in it.”
Biden then proceeded to express his typical modesty, stating, “Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this.”
“Bringing America together.
“Uniting our people.
“And uniting our nation.
“I ask every American to join me in this cause.”
It’s enough to give cynicism a bad name.
