Why Do Democrats Fail to See that Abortion Is Wrong?

June 24, 2023, marks one year since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision with its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization. This decision sent the question about abortion back to the states where it belongs. There is absolutely nothing in the U.S. Constitution that protects killing unborn babies, and the current Justices recognized the fact that Roe v. Wade was wrong when it passed.

A new poll conducted for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America claims that “a majority of Americans support protections for unborn children and their mothers.” Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, “24 states have enacted pro-life protections for the unborn and their mothers,” according to a pro-life organization.” 

Wyoming extended Medicaid to cover mothers through the first year after her child is born. Mississippi’s governor signed off on foster care and adoption reforms. North Carolina established $160 million for child care, parental leave and community college assistance. Other Republican-led states increased support for pregnancy resource centers that offer goods and services free of charge to expectant mothers, such as ultrasounds, medical exams, counseling, housing and baby clothing.

In the poll of 1,000 likely voters nationwide, 73% of people polled said that there should be “some limits on abortion by 15 weeks of pregnancy, the point at which the baby can feel pain.” The poll found the following:

·         Nearly 6 in 10 voters support Congress passing legislation to enact limits on abortion after 15 weeks.

·         76% of those polled support pregnancy resource centers that provide financial and material support for mothers during pregnancy but don’t perform abortions. That number included 87% of Republicans, 68% of Democrats, 70% of independents, 76% of men, and 77% of women.

·         70% of respondents agree minors should be required to notify parents when seeking an abortion.

Americans are deeply divided on the abortion issue. This division shows in the 24 states that have enacted legislation to protect the unborn and their mothers in in 23 states where “minors can receive an abortion without informing their parents in 23 states.” In addition, there are activist groups, such as Jane’s Due Process, that counsels “girls on how to get an abortion behind their parents backs” and “violating state laws.”

Planned Parenthood remains “a major proponent of highly contentious abortion practices” and is lobbying in states like Alaska and Idaho against laws to protect unborn babies and women. Support for abortions comes from the top with Democrats in both White House and Congress committed to support abortions up until the time of birth with federal funding.
