It was one of the opening night’s most dramatic and sober moments. Three women emerged on the main stage, each in a spotlight against the darkness.
Amanda Zurawski, standing beside her husband, told of how she nearly died when her baby would not survive and she could not get abortion care in Texas. Kaitlyn Joshua spoke of bleeding, miscarrying and being turned away from two emergency rooms in Louisiana. And Hadley Duvall of Kentucky told a harrowing story of being impregnated by her stepfather at age 12.
“He calls it ‘a beautiful thing,’” she said, quoting former President Donald J. Trump’s praise for states that have enacted strict abortion bans. “What is so beautiful about a child having to carry her parent’s child?”
Audible gasps punctured the silence of the arena. Women wiped away tears. Next to her husband, Gwen Walz shook her head in apparent horror, trying to take it all in. And when the testimonies were finished, the arena rose to its feet in support.
Such a scene was unimaginable at the Democratic National Convention just four years ago, when the word “abortion” was never mentioned on the main stage. Then, it was Republicans who embraced the issue at their party convention, awarding key speaking slots to anti-abortion activists and boasting of their “pro-life” bona fides.
But in the first presidential election without the foundation of Roe in half a century, the political scripts have been inverted. The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion, is one of Mr. Trump’s signature accomplishments — he appointed the three Supreme Court justices whose votes proved decisive. Detailed calls for federal limits on abortion have been a central plank of the Republican Party for decades.

Nothing gets these Democrat sociopaths excited more than killing babies.
I don’t think we’re going to argue with them on abortion. It’s a losing issue. Even women who are registered Republican may vote for the Democrat just because of the abortion issue. We have to recognize that. Donald Trump already removed it on the platform.
I totally get the politics of it.
Murdering Jews was OK in Nazi Germany.
That was the politics of it.
It could happen here.
But—if it does, relax. That will just be the politics of it.
You know—if suburban moms are OK with it why should I object?
Not our problem....
:-(
Gotta defend the Constitution. The states will eventually legalize abortion anyway. Florida will make it legal in November. Supposed to get over 60% on the referendum.
It is what it is—but understand what the moral consequences are—for everyone involved.
Karma is unforgiving—and has a long memory.
Maybe they can be presented medals for killing a certain amount of American babies. Better yet, the Democrats could put a bounty on unborn babies’ skulls.
Note that the globalist cabal in DC didn't care ONE BIT about the COVID status of illegals, or ANY illness among them for that matter.
They can’t just “reimagine abortion” without first having a “conversation” about it.
The “conversation” always must come first.
I don’t think abortion will survive. The only reason people vote for it is they don’t know what it is, and the only reason it succeeds at the ballot box is due to fake votes and other forms of fraud.
But our nation will undergo a major change soon when it turns back to God.
Abortion will be dead.
You're right. When we convert to Islam.
Not to mention what will happen when the people find out Planned Parenthood is a practicing satanic cult.
There is nothing in Islam that can make us convert.
Just look at our cousins across the pond in the UK. We're only 20 years behind.
No we’re not.
More than half the people on here are so worried about polls and stolen ballots and if she’s a NB citizen they are blind to the danger. The odds are very high this idjit wins. First thing Little Chuckles does day after the election is nuke the filibuster. Bet on it.
You seem naive.
“When we convert to Islam.”
With respect, it should be noted that speaking this way portrays you as either:
1. part of the group who wants America to die
2. part of the group too weak to fight for America
I challenge you to articulate why you see a refusal to surrender as naive.
The most important thing to keep in mind is the massive strength of the American people compared the the people of Britain.
