Families, communities, and nations are stronger when babies and children are protected. So many babies have been aborted worldwide that the populations of most nations have fallen below the replacement level.
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral
arguments in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization several
months ago, and they will soon issue their ruling. Their ruling could overturn some
or all of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. If the
justices rule in favor of Dobbs, the question of abortion will be returned to
the states.
The Democrats are so hungry for power that
they tried to codify abortion into law despite the fact that the majority of
Americans are not in favor of such a law. The good thing is that the most
recent abortion bill failed to pass in the Senate. Nicole Russell beliefs that
the real story is not that the “abortion bill failed, but the fact that it was
crafted at all.”
This particular abortion bill is so
expansive, so ghoulish, it’s truly shameful that Democrats even tried to codify
such provisions in law. It demonstrates just what they would do, if given enough
power. It also directly contradicts the majority of Americans’ views on abortion.
The Senate failed to invoke cloture and
proceed to a vote Feb. 28 on the House-passed version of the Women’s Health
Protection Act, HR 3755.
This stunningly progressive legislation is
“a radical proposal to mandate unfettered abortion access in federal law,”
warned Melanie Israel, policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation’s DeVos Center
for Religion and Civil Society….
Although the abortion bill failed, it’s
important to see why Democrats crafted such legislation and what the measure
would have done if enacted into law.
The Democrats know that Roe and
Casey could be overturned, so they crafted another law to revive them.
Thomas Jipping claims that the Women’s Health Protection Act was “far more
radical than even Roe v. Wade itself.” Russell shared some of key provisions of
the bill.
Crafted on a faulty promise, the
legislation repeatedly mentions the “constitutional right to terminate a
pregnancy.” [This claim has been debunked by “many” justices.]
One of the worst aspects of the Democrats’
bill is its sweeping scope, including its claim that Congress’ power to
regulate interstate commerce gives it authority to control state and local
abortion legislation.
The legislation would have repealed all
existing state laws that specify abortion restrictions or protect the unborn in
some way, endangering laws that ban late-term abortions. Never mind that 71% of
Americans say they favor more abortion restrictions, even those who aren’t
ardently pro-life.
The bill also would have prohibited future
laws regulating abortions and the abortion industry. This is especially
gut-wrenching, because as technology has improved and our understanding of the
human body has grown, abortion laws have reflected such progress.
If passed, this measure would have had the
effect of wiping out those advancements and decades of consensus among politicians
on both sides of the aisle, who slowly have begun to recognize the personhood
of the unborn.
The Women’s Health Protection Act would
have prohibited laws to protect the unborn. This would include protecting them
from genetic testing. The law would also end protection for survivors of
abortion. The law would have also stopped laws that would require women be
given time and information to make informed decisions about abortion. In
addition, it would prevent “laws that would prevent taxpayer dollars from
subsidizing the abortion industry.” The Democrat bill would have ended most of
the abortion regulations at the state level. In the words of Jipping, “The
bill, in fact, tries mightily to erase, avoid, or deny any suggestion, hint, or
whisper that a second human being exists at all.”
Science has made many advances since
Roe and Casey were made the law of the land. However, Democrats
do not want these scientific advances to curtail their power in any way.
Nevertheless, the American people are “slowly but steadily” becoming more pro-life
because they understand what science is telling us. We know better now than we
ever did before that every abortion takes the life of an unborn human being.
