A civil war is coming to America, only this time, it will be abortion, rather than slavery, that divides the nation. And while I hope will all my heart that it will not be a physically violent war, the ideological conflict will certainly be violent and intense.
We witnessed some of this during the hearings for Brett Kavanaugh, when the opposition to his confirmation was fierce to the point of screaming and pounding at the Senate’s doors.
This brought to my mind the famous line, “Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned,” based on which I wrote an article titled, “Prepare for the Wrath of the Pro-Abortion Militants.” The article ended by saying “that hell hath no fury like that of the militant pro-abortionists.”
The very same day my article was posted on the Stream, Jennifer Hartline posted an article on that same website, titled, “It’s Not Kavanaugh. It’s Roe.” Her article ended by saying, “They hate Kavanaugh because they love abortion and he does not. Hell hath no fury like ‘women’s rights’ scorned.”
We were hearing the same message!
This is part of what I refer to as Jezebel’s War with America (the title of my forthcoming book), where the forces of radical feminism come together with the extreme pro-abortion movement (among other spiritual and cultural forces) in an attempt destroy America.
The only way to describe this is war.
Confirmation for this comes from the response to Alabama’s pro-life bill, just passed by the Senate.
As expected, the reaction from the left has been fierce and intense.
Note the highlighted words in these tweets and comments.
“Alabama just passed a near-total ban on abortion. No exceptions for rape or incest. Doctors could face 99 years in prison for providing abortions. This is a war on women, and it is time to fight like hell.” (Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand).
“This ban is dangerous and exceptionally cruel—and the bill’s authors want to use it to overturn Roe v. Wade. I've lived in that America and let me tell you: We are not going back—not now, not ever. We will fight this. And we will win.” (Sen. Elizabeth Warren)
“Women’s rights are under attack. This relentless and cruel Republican assault on women’s health is designed to force a court battle to destroy Roe v. Wade. Democrats will be ready to defend health care and women’s reproductive freedom.” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi)
The reaction from Hollywood echoed the sentiments of Washington.
According to John Legend, “These statehouses are waging all-out war on women and their right to control their reproductive decisions. This is awful.”
Alyssa Milano tweeted, “There have been nearly 30 bans on abortion introduced, passed, or signed into law in statehouses around the country this year alone. This is Trump’s anti-choice agenda and part of the GOP’s war on women.”
On Instagram, Tracie Lee Ross, with 6.5 million followers, wrote, “WE MUST FIGHT ~ this is terrifying.”
And John Cusack tweeted, “This only ends with impeachment - and people in the streets.”
As summed up by author Amber Tamblyn, “Good morning, women. Make no mistake. This is war.”
Do we need this spelled out any more clearly? We are being told that those who stand for Roe v. Wade will fight like hell, that there will be people in the streets, that this is a battle, a war. We dare not miss the meaning.
Again, I fervently hope that this is not a physically violent war. I sincerely hope there will not be violent attacks by pro-abortion extremists leading to retaliation by those being attacked. (By definition, if you are pro-life, you will not seek to take the life of an innocent person.)
But if Trump’s election could stir massive women marches with Madonna expressing her desire to blow up the White House, what will the overturning of Roe v. Wade bring about? (This is part of the reason I refer to all this as “Jezebel’s war with America.”)
We must also be reminded by how heartless the pro-abortion movement can be, as represented by this tweet from “comedian” Michelle Wolf: “Do what the Alabama government refuses to do: help women by donating to the https://yellowhammerfund.org. Donating is as easy as flicking an embryo out of a uterus should be” (my emphasis).
Yes, a tiny baby is just something to be “flicked”!
If this is how the left views a helpless baby in the womb, how will it view those who seek to overturn Roe v. Wade?
Recently, there has been an uptick of physical attacks on peaceful pro-lifers. (See here and here and here for examples.) And it is likely that such attacks will only increase in the days ahead.
All the more reason, then, that we keep working to change hearts and minds, that we pray for divine intervention, and that we reply with calmness and measured speech rather than angry rhetoric of our own.
A civil war is certain. The only thing to be determined is how bloody it will be. Much of that depends on us. Let us pursue the cause of life.
It wasn't over slavery the last time either. That is just useful propaganda created to justify the invasion of states. It was after the fact excuse making for Dictatorial excess.
See my tag line.

It not a civil war, it’s a battle about morality.
the godless have no basis for immorality, and they see none — except where a desired act is judged immoral or contrary to their desires.
Absent God, there is only power and the will to enforce false moralities.
This is the second oldest battle in Creation.
-Abortion
-Gun control
-Socialism
-Free Speech
-Property Rights
-Taxation
-Appropriation
-Entitlements
-Promoting and Mandating Deviance
-Outlawing Christianity/Judaism
-Illegal aliens
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
It is absolutely unconscionable that the left will destroy the country and want to kill those who oppose the killing of babies.
It is a war to stop the ongoing murdering of babies. It is already a physically violent war. The left made sure of that. The response should be equal or greater in magnitude.
“...It is absolutely unconscionable ...”
That’s because you’re starting with the assumption that the Left actually HAS a conscience to begin with.
They don’t. They don’t CARE.
Start from the fact that they will do anything and everything to you, your family, and any like you, to gain power.
And then treat them accordingly - as they existential threat to your life and liberty that they are.
It IS and always HAS BEEN a war. And they understand that better than our side has been willing to.
Good point
Wait until Trump nominates Coney Barrett.
White woman are upset that fewer black babies will be aborted.
There fixed it.
The Democrat Party Prime Directive for the past fifty years: Kill the baby.
Don’t see what they have to stand on as far as a moral high ground.
Can’t kill people, abortion is killing people.
Can’t kill the poor to help poverty, abortion kills poor people
Can’t call it not a human being, its not a vegetable growing in the womb.
Can’t consider women as the only victims, abortion transfers the tyranny of the strong over the week from women to their innocent children.
Am I missing something?
Oh yeah, can’t impose a sentence on women to carry a baby to term, because somehow the baby is at fault for being there. If its not rape, she is responsible for it being their by her actions. If it is rape, then legally we should treat both the mother and the child as victims and I am fine with a social aid for rape cases. I’m more in favor of legal obligations a perpetrator has to those who are their victims of rape.
Look this is nothing like slavery and don’t even make the comparison
No human being is indentured and forced to do labor and his property of another human being in this case
The hyperbole in you media types is completely and utterly pathetic
Now on the issue of life it is a critical issue of importance to the moral fabric of this or any society
The forces of life mostly Christian are loving kind generous and patient
We use kindness and patience in our protesting to try to convince little girls not to murder their baby
The other side minions of Satan have to take up the position of trying to convince little girls to murder their baby merely for “convenience”
Let them have at it
There will be no shooting war with 700,000 over young and best man dead
There will be no families put it against families shooting at each other
There will be no constitutional amendments passed two for bid things that went on
This is a spiritual war
This is a war of words and actions
It wasn’t over slavery the last time either. That is just useful propaganda created to justify the invasion of states.
Lincoln couldn’t say the war was over slavery because he had no legal way to achieve that end, so for the first half of the war the goal was to preserve the Union. For the first part of the war the army was ordered to return runaway slaves to their owners. Lincoln then seized on the idea that the slaves were helping the southern war effort and could legally be declared ‘contraband’ and not returned to their owners. From that, Lincoln moved to the Emancipation Proclamation which carefully excluded slaves in states that hadn’t seceded (MO, MD, KY, DE) and areas under Union control (parts of TN & LA).
Bottom line, whatever might be said, the Civil War was all about slavery. The parallels with the abortion debate are striking. At the same time that you have states (NY & VA) guaranteeing abortion up to the moment of birth (and perhaps a bit after) and lighting up buildings celebrating the fact, you have other states banning the procedure in hopes of reversing a SCOTUS decision which discovered the “right” hiding in a penumbra of a right to privacy.
“A civil war is certain.”
He can’t be serious. Or he doesn’t know what a civil war is. 60 MILLION children have already been slaughtered, where are the torches and pitchforks, the legions, the militia, the tanks, the battles?
You couldn’t raise a quorum to wage a true war in America today.
Why, it would slow down the internet, interrupt cell service, and might even preempt your favorite shows.
Based on his actions, he clearly had no intention of achieving that end when he started the war.
The Ghost Amendment that Haunts Lincoln's Legacy.
Bottom line, whatever might be said, the Civil War was all about slavery.
If it was all about slavery, why was Lincoln trying to give them all the protection for slavery they could possibly want?
If it was all about slavery, why didn't they take the deal?
The civil War was not about slavery. The south seceded when it realized that it would a permanent political minority.
Lincoln switched from maintaining the union as a war goal to abolishing slavery because of the appalling casualties. He needed a moral reason to justify the massive amount of deaths.
This is more idolatry than anything else. The ancient Israelites used to murder their babies as a sacrifice to the false “gods” Baal and Molech and they were condemned by the real God for their evil. Now they’re sacrificing their babies to an even worse false “god,” i.e., self.
The parallels between the conflict over the Second Amendment’s guarantee to bear arms and the made up abortion rights in Roe are stark, but I don’t think abortion will spark a civil war.
There is nothing stopping an Alabama woman from going to NYC and aborting her 9 month old baby just before birth.
