It was heartbreaking to see how many voters have fallen for the fuzzy euphemisms Democrats use to hide the reality of what abortion really is. In Tuesday’s elections, the sanctity of life took a tragic loss in several states.
Democrats no longer even pretend to want abortion kept “safe, legal and rare.” They’ve now pushed their willingness to slaughter babies in the womb to a level that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Imagine the Governor of a once-great state like California actually being proud that he’s now helped make it legal to murder a child in the womb right up through what would have been the day of its birth.
The next frontier is to kill babies even after they’ve been born. And Montana voters shockingly advanced that idea by voting 52.4% to 47.6% against a bill that would have required doctors to provide medical care for babies born alive at any point in a pregnancy, including during a “botched” abortion (an abortion is considered “botched” if the patient survives.)
Pro-life activists called it “unimaginable” and a “dark, horrific day.” Defense attorney and conservative commentator Marina Medvin pointed out that the law requires police to give medical care to criminals who shoot at them, and society to give medical care to serial killers in prison, but a majority of Montana voters just okayed denying medical care to innocent babies and letting them die on an operating table.
Some tried to excuse Montana voters, claiming they were misled and didn’t understand the bill. I don’t know how much clearer it could have been, or how hard it is to figure out.
Pro-life advocates have warned for years that if Roe v. Wade was ever overturned, it would not be the end of the fight for life, but only a new beginning. The pro-abortion movement has made it clear that they will use lies and even violence to push their anti-life obsession that has gone beyond a political or spiritual disagreement into the realm of promoting sheer evil. We have to do a better job of winning hearts and minds, and luckily, we also have science on our side.
In an age in which contraceptives are cheap or free and readily available, there isn’t even a pretext of a justification for late term abortion. And letting babies that have already been born die is not “choice” or “reproductive health care,” it’s straight-up murder! Polls show that most Americans, even those who oppose abortion bans, still want restrictions on abortion, and I would hope they also want restrictions on outright murder. We have to do a better job of letting them know that the Democrats are using lies, fear and hysteria to convince them to vote for things that they would be horrified to know they were allowing if the left wasn’t doing such a good job of hiding the truth.
For an example of how it’s done,
God bless the voters who just approved making these nine cities sanctuary cities for the unborn.
