Abortion fanatics have been telling so many lies because the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade final week, it’s laborious to take them significantly.
Now President Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are salivating on the prospect that “abortion is on the ballot,” versus inflation, crime, border safety and all the problems which have the Democrats below water and with no viable coverage.
However abortion will not be the electoral game-changer they hope for, and largely that’s as a result of the lies they inform themselves and their supporters have precipitated them to lose contact with the fact of America.
Lie 1: Biden and Pelosi are “religious Catholics.”
“Ladies caring for his or her well being” is the president’s euphemism for abortion.
It was a “unhappy day” and “a tragic error,” mentioned Biden, when the Supreme Court docket returned the problem again to the voters and their elected state representatives to determine. He vowed to “do all the pieces in my energy” to protect abortion.
Pelosi known as the choice “outrageous” and “criminalizing reproductive freedom,” one other euphemism which tries to cover the loss of life component of abortion.
Like Biden, her unequivocal help for abortion is wildly at odds with Catholic educating and her ostentatious religiosity.
“I’m very Catholic, religious, training,” she has declared.
However San Francisco’s Catholic archbishop, Salvatore J. Cordileone, final month rebuked Pelosi over her vocal help for abortion, and declared she can be denied Communion.
Biden has escaped accountability for his abortion advocacy. I suppose we’ve to take his phrase for it that Pope Francis informed him in April that he was a “good Catholic” and will proceed receiving Communion.
However the Vatican is all for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, issuing an announcement praising the choice final week, and the pope explicitly has known as abortion homicide, likening it to “hiring successful man.”
Lie 2: Most People help abortion.
Polls present virtually 9 in 10 People oppose Biden and Pelosi’s excessive place of abortion on demand till beginning.
A Trafalgar Group ballot final month confirmed lower than 12% of People help abortions to beginning, whereas 57% consider abortions needs to be banned as soon as an unborn child’s heartbeat might be detected at about six weeks. Even amongst Democrats, solely 19% assume that abortion needs to be authorized till beginning.
Scientific advances displaying us detailed ultrasound pictures contained in the womb, and permitting untimely infants to outlive at 25 weeks, have modified the equation. Most People need affordable restrictions with compassionate exceptions to safeguard the mom’s life and within the instances of rape and incest — which Deliberate Parenthood’s personal analysis arm, the Guttmacher Institute, says is lower than 1% of abortions.
What’s extra, a Rasmussen ballot final month confirmed 48% of voters mentioned they might approve of the Supreme Court docket overturning Roe v. Wade, and 45% who would disapprove. Amongst Democrat voters, 33% mentioned they might approve.
And a Fox Information ballot discovered 54% of voters supported state legal guidelines banning abortion at 15 weeks, reminiscent of in Mississippi, the place the Supreme Court docket case originated.
Lie 3: Abortion shall be a vote-winner for Democrats.
If they’re so against the Supreme Court docket determination, why don’t Democrats merely move a legislation to codify Roe v. Wade, since they management Washington?
Nicely, they tried it already with the Ladies’s Well being Safety Act, and failed. The Senate voted 49-51 in opposition to the invoice, which might have overridden state abortion legal guidelines, effectively in need of the 60 votes wanted. The issue, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez complains, is that members of their very own celebration are pro-life.
Biden claims America has turn into an outlier, when truly it was an outlier below Roe, since solely 5 different nations — together with China and North Korea — permit abortion till the second of beginning.
Lie 4: “Christo-fascists” introduced this on.
The reality is Democrats strayed too removed from public opinion. The place as soon as the phrase “secure, authorized and uncommon” summed up a palatable place for Democrats, they allowed extremists to push it to abortion any time for any purpose, together with for intercourse choice and to do away with Down syndrome infants, which is opposed by 70% of People, based on a Knights of Columbus survey final yr.
In Mississippi, it wasn’t pro-life activists however an abortion clinic that went to court docket to overturn the state legislation banning abortions after 15 weeks, besides within the case of a mom’s life being threatened. It’s their very own fault, and Harry Reid’s filibuster reform additionally performed a task.
Lie 5: Abortion is a constitutional proper, and contraception and homosexual marriage are subsequent on the chopping block.
Incorrect. The Structure mentions nothing about abortion. All of the Supreme Court docket did was ship abortion regulation again to the states the place it at all times belonged. Abortion stays out there, however there at the moment are 50 abortion legal guidelines. All 13 states with so-called trigger laws permit abortions to save lots of the lifetime of the mom.
As for the slippery slope which Pelosi and Co. are fearmongering about, Justice Samuel Alito explicitly wrote that “nothing on this opinion needs to be understood to forged doubt on precedents that don’t concern abortion,” reminiscent of contraception and homosexual marriage.
Whereas Justice Clarence Thomas wrote individually that different “substantive precedents” determined by the court docket on “due course of” needs to be re-examined, he simply says they need to be based mostly on different constitutional provisions. In any case, no different justice agreed.
Lie 6: Corporations which might be providing hundreds of {dollars} to staff who need abortions interstate are enlightened.
Hardly. They need to supply related lump sums to pregnant staff who preserve their infants.
However let the woke corporates function an inspiration for Republicans to enact Hungarian-style insurance policies, which reward moms and dads handsomely for having kids and encourage them to have heaps extra.
