A Working Abortionist Opposes California’s Deadly Proposition 1

California obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Forrest Smith says he polled 147 of his patients on the state’s Proposition 1. When he first asked, they were planning to vote for it on Election Day. When he then explained to them that the proposition, the “Constitutional Right to Reproductive Freedom,” would legalize the killing of viable, healthy babies, every single one of those patients changed their minds and said they would vote against it. He calls what Proposition 1 would allow a “moral monstrosity that we cannot allow in our state’s constitution.”

 

Dr. Smith has testified in the past about the Center for Medical Progress’s undercover work, pointing out that their footage shows that doctors likely purposely had babies be born alive for the purpose of selling them for medical research. He draws a line there, out of conviction.

Democrats besmirch the decency of Americans when they assume that people actually want the most barbaric things to happen to the unborn and to babies in their first moments; when they put money toward the Proposition 1 campaign and support state-funded abortions with no limits; and when they campaign in other states for abortion tourism to California.

Interestingly, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that abortion to the point of viability may have been even a step too far for Governor Gavin Newsom and his staff, but they gave in to other Democrats who insisted on it.

If you live in California, have loving but truthful conversations about what Proposition 1 is actually about. Don’t let euphemisms win the day for the culture of death.
