First, we need to dispense with the silly use of the word “fetus.”
No one talks about their fetus’s due date or asks when your fetus is due.
Use of the word is an insidious, but successful use of propaganda to distance pro-abortionists from the reality of their position.
A baby is only a fetus when someone wants to kill a baby and doesn’t want to take responsibility for their position.
How badly has America’s moral compass been broken when people who want to keep unborn babies alive are smeared as the extremists instead of those who demand fealty to unfettered abortion.
Women have been conditioned by the Left and its lapdogs in the media to think of the killing of an unborn baby as a personal healthcare decision comparable to elective surgery. Some make the argument that it is “their body” and no one else is affected so no one else should have any say in the matter.
No one? What about the father? What about the unborn baby? Do you think they might want a say in the matter?
A civilized society has a moral interest in protecting the well-being of its most vulnerable people – who are more vulnerable than the unborn?
The Democrat party, now led by vice president and presidential candidate Kamala Harris has picked up the mantle of the pro-abortion movement and run with it. Harris and the Democrats will allow no compromise on abortion because if they support a compromise that allows abortions ONLY in cases of rape, incest and life of the mother they are admitting there is something very wrong with performing the overwhelming number of abortions that don’t fit into these categories.
You don’t need any restrictions on abortions because there’s nothing wrong with “aborting” a fetus.

Killing a baby? That’s a different matter altogether. They have driven the reality of their position deep down so they don’t have to face up to its gruesome reality.
Perhaps most disturbing is the growing number of abortion supporters who are not satisfied with arguing that abortion is a necessary evil but seem to take pride in espousing it almost as an empowering rite of passage for women.
Even if you support abortion shouldn’t you have enough self-awareness to know you should feel at least a little reticent about the killing of babies?
Killing babies is objectively wrong so how has the pro-life movement allowed itself to be put on the defensive about wanting to save babies’ lives? The left-wing media has certainly played a decisive role by endlessly parroting the pro-abortionists’ rhetoric about “personal choice” and “healthcare.”
The left?
Morals?
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
Because we allowed most girls and women to be braindwashed by braindead ‘reality’ tv shows and other media
The Left and “morals” are mutually exclusive.
They have the “moral high ground” in their own sick, demented minds. They do NOT have the “moral high ground” in the realm of reality and truth. Murder is murder, whether committed in the womb our outside the body. It makes it even worse that you are killing your own, innocent and defenseless flesh and blood that is totally dependent on you for survival, just to satisfy your own selfish desire of convenience.
Sex is an adult behavior with adult consequences. If you aren’t prepared to deal with the consequences of an activity, you don’t participate in it.
Morality is lacking in both men & women who indulge themselves & then refuse to accept responsibility.
Leftists just give them an excuse for being irresponsible.
No God, no morality.
The reality is that in a culture that has embraced neo pagan hedonistic decadence, the killing of pre born human life is viewed as a right and convenience to people who see pregnancy and children as a vast infringement and inconvenience to their amoral lives.
The left never HAD any morals to begin with whatsoever.
“ Because we allowed most girls and women to be braindwashed by braindead ‘reality’ tv shows and other media”
That may have been a primary tool. But the root problem is more akin to the current fanaticism driving pedophilia, trafficking and transgenderism. A very wealthy and powerful class of perverts, who have been awarded some measure of success in this world, have created a culture of hedonism and destruction where THEY are free to use other people for their own perverted cheap kicks. They’ve cheapened life and degraded the civilization. All for their own benefit.
Simple: they have turned “reproductive rights” into the pre-eminent human rights issue over the right of the child to live.
God will not continue to Bless a nation with abortion as its top priority.
By convincing the slower evil clowns living in this country that childbirth is not a natural act.
High ground? Don’t you mean aborted babies 6 feet under the ground?
I call them “Science Deniers”.
I would have liked JD to have asked the Governor about his draconian vaccine regulations he enforced in Minnesota. Is my body my choice only applicable to killing unborn children? I would have loved to have heard his answer or would Norah had turned off JD’s mic before he could finish the question.
How has the Left claimed the moral high ground on abortion?
__________________________________________________________
Telling yourself this over and over again doesn’t make it true.
anything the left can claim, it owes to the media.
Because we are living in the new Canaan. The left is correctly abiding by the depraved morals of this depraved nation.
The U.S. is no longer a Christian country and we will be dealt with accordingly. Repent and pray for God's mercy on yourselves and your depraved countrymen.
Sadly, in today’s America they do have the high moral ground. That is why they are running so hard on it. America’s women and way too many of its men agree with their position.
Look at the state laws and amendments being passed in red states across the country. We all wanted Roe overturned, but never in our wildest dreams considered that it would work out as well as it has for the left. We were still living in a 1973 world where abortion was only supported by the furthest left the country and was abhorrent to most normal people. Somehow, we didn’t see or understand that over the course of 50 years of never-ending hammering by the media and propagandizing by our educational system that that opinion had changed immensely.
It could be the deciding factor in this year’s election. Like Marijuana laws on the ballot, it’s going to bring a lot of people to the polls of it’s on the ballot and most of those people will not be on our side.
The only issue even close to abortion in America was slavery and we know how that issue was resolved. We really should tie those two together better. Slaves, like unborn children, were not considered fully human and were therefore not given the full rights afforded non slaves. Only after a bitter and divisive civil war was the issue resolved and even after that and the passing of the 14th Amendment it took decades before Blacks were truly given full citizenship.
There was great documentary back a number of years ago that examined the gestation period of human baby from fertilization until to birth. It had some stunning video images of that develop by week. Every child should have to watch that sometime in JRHS. It might change the opinion of a few at least. There was a second one called Triplets that was just as impressive. My wife and I were both surprised the Left ever allowed them to be shown on TV.
Great post.
