For professional-lifers and all People who care about the way forward for our nation, this isn’t the time to desert the Republican occasion.
Sure, it’s disheartening that vice presidential nominee JD Vance has mentioned he supports access to the lethal abortion drug mifepristone, which now accounts for the loss of life of extra unborn youngsters than surgical abortion. And whereas many concerned in pro-life want to see a nationwide ban, or higher but, a personhood modification, the truth is, these issues usually are not on the fast horizon.
At this second, most infants are protected against abortion in 16 states. But when we activate the Republicans now, not solely are we wanting on the return of Joe Biden – or a last-minute substitution – to the White Home, but in addition to the not-farfetched risk of dropping management of the U.S. Home and Senate to the Democrats.
If that occurs, it gained’t be lengthy earlier than our nation turns into a spot we don’t acknowledge.
Senate Democrats lately tried to advance a invoice known as the Reproductive Freedom for Women Act that sought to revive abortion entry that was assured below Roe v. Wade and to construct upon it. Because of the Republicans, the invoice was blocked.
But when Senate Democrats someway discover themselves with a filibuster-proof majority, they probably would toss out that act in favor of the way more radical Women’s Health Protection Act, which might put off each single abortion regulation on each degree of presidency. Born-alive protections for new child survivors of abortion? Gone. Parental consent and notification? Gone. Gestational limits on abortion? Gone. You get the thought.
Our nation would as soon as once more be soaked within the blood of the unborn.
The Democrats additionally will set their sights on different targets – targets which have to this point been unattainable due to the Republicans. The For the People ACT would put off free and truthful elections and, with a Democrat majority, non-citizens may very effectively achieve the best to vote.
Any idea of a border could be thrown out the window as we permit in anybody who has the gumption to get right here, together with some very nasty terrorists who may wish to see 9/11 turn into one of many lesser assaults on our soil.
Girls will proceed to be canceled because the weird transgender motion finds much more allies among the many Democrats. Ever-increasing numbers of women and girls in sports activities will lose titles and scholarships to mediocre male athletes who faux to be girls simply to win medals.
Girls in jail and people who, via no fault of their very own, discover themselves in home violence shelters will proceed to be compelled to share quarters with males, a few of them with clear ill intent.
Dad and mom will lose all rights to lift their youngsters and, certainly, lose custody of youngsters until they go together with their minor child’s gender identification. And thanks unethical efforts of the “transgender woman” who’s second in control of our federal Division of Well being and Human Companies, gender-mutilating surgical procedures might be carried out on ever-younger children.
All of this – and extra – appears insane, and but all of it’s inside attain if Democrats come away from the 2024 elections with the proper trifecta – the White Home, the Senate, the Home of Representatives.
Regardless of the adjustments within the GOP platform this 12 months in regard to abortion, we all know that if Trump is elected, he probably will re-establish the protections of his enhanced Mexico Metropolis coverage, which protected U.S. taxpayers from funding abortions abroad; finish the Veterans Administration’s side hustle in abortion, and pardon the peaceable pro-lifers serving lengthy sentences in federal jail, amongst many different pro-life actions.
And whereas a Republican-majority Senate and Home won’t go a personhood modification or a regulation defending infants at a given gestational age, no less than the drastic Girls’s Well being Safety Act gained’t be a risk anymore. State legal guidelines defending infants and moms would proceed to be enforced.
So the street forward may be very clear. We have to stand by the occasion keen to supply some protections to the unborn and we have to get these individuals elected. As soon as in workplace, we will push and prod and foyer and demand and complain as loudly as we must be heard.
The election is almost upon us. Actually we will wait that lengthy to take the Republicans to job for what we see as their shortcomings.
The way forward for our nation depends on that endurance.
