I understand the point of the article, but it’s a bit of a reach to dislike Its a Wonderful Life because of abortion. It’s entertainment and good entertainment at that.
“What if all those (aborted) children had been born?“
Black population % would be large, there would be no Republicans in office in any states with big cities, the wall would have been built long ago...just my guess.
Sometimes you just need to leave your worries and concerns at the door, and enjoy the movie.
If anything it’s a pro life message.
The country is entirely changed because of abortion.
Who replaced those 60 million?
Mostly Mexicans. In 1970, ‘hispanics’ - nobody used that word then - were about 2% of the national population.
Now they are 60 million, or about 20% of the national population.
Note the number.
It’s about direct replacement - although the overall population grew by 100 million because of immigration in general, which includes Asians who had never existed in such numbers in the US.
So America aborted itself out of existence, only to be replaced by aliens, mostly from a country that hates the existence of Americans.
A beautiful thread thank you. You’re on a roll. :)
And all those babies that would have been aborted not only would have gone on to do great things but would be voting Republican.
Buffalo Gals can’t you come out tonight.
Can’t you come out tonight.
Can’t you come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals can’t you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon.
Actually, one argument for this movie is that George Bailey is a liberal. All Potter is doing is giving loans to people who earned them thru good credit and consistent employment. Bailey gives loans to people with questionable credit and ability to pay them back. Hence, Bailey is broke.
Potters way is If they don’t pay, they lose their house within the time allowed by law. Potter keeps Baileys money that his uncle misplaced, but otherwise is a law abiding business owner.
A good lesson in this movie for liberals is that George Bailey practices what he preaches and isn’t a hypocrite.
It’s a Wonderful Life is on my favorite films, but as a pro-life advocate who comes into contact with abortion-minded mothers all the time, it’s a bit painful to watch. Especially at the end when George Bailey gets to go back to his family after realizing how different things would have turned out had he never been born, and he gratefully clings onto his wife and children, it always makes me grieve for the millions of lives who have been lost to abortion and for the families who never experienced what life could have been like had they been born.

This a poor analogy verging on click-bait-y.
It’s not hard to watch, don’t be an effing snowflake, we have enough of those.
Considering that abortion has mostly been used as a *primary* form of birth control--that is, that the women having abortions did not even consider taking steps to prevent the pregnancies--I doubt that most of those children would have been born. On the contrary, most of those children would never have existed in the first place, since their mothers would have selected a different, non violent, form of birth control.
And I cannot stand watching "It's A Wonderful Life." I seriously do not believe the world can be fundamentally different with the addition or removal of a specific person. Furthermore, we cannot know the effects if person Y had existed or person X had not existed. Impossible to know, and a waste of time to speculate (unless you are a fiction writer exploring alternate histories or something).
More democratic voters most likely since majority abortion are from liberal and women of color.
Its not just this one issue.
Quicky marriages and no-fault divorce has also devastated the family.
This is a pathetic interpretation of the message of the movie.
Why?
Because it reveals in a marvelous way what the loss of one child can mean.
If anything at all related to abortion, “It’s a Wonderful Christmas” is the ultimate answer to, “Why not?”
This writer missed the forest for the trees.
Nah. None of those kids would have cured cancer or contributed anything positive to the world.
They were all inconvenient little parasites who would have prevented their mamas from living their dreams.
So it’s good they’re dead. / sarc
Sigh! I guess living life with “too much time” on their hands isn’t only a lefty thing.
But then of course, I took the time to read it and comment.
Double Sigh!!
many, many, many, many, more leftards would be infesting America
