Before meeting with abortion advocates yesterday, Kamala Harris said:
“We know with the Supreme Court having made the decision in Dobbs to take a constitutional right that had been recognized from the people of America, from the women of America, has created a health crisis in America.”
“It has highlighted the fact that as we all know, we must be vigilant and we must stand should-to-shoulder to ensure that every voice is represented in a way that allows them equal access to all that they need to thrive,” she said.
Every voice.
Thrive.
The vice president’s enthusiasm for abortion snuffs out voices whose cries we cannot yet hear and ensures that they die, not thrive. What she said is just the opposite of truth.
What happened to follow the science?
There are hard cases and hard decisions and 5,000 ways we need to better help women and families choose life. But the vice president’s promising more action to secure the abortion industry is choosing wide-scale death.
And the audacity of Al Sharpton being in her audience yesterday. Because black women don’t deserve to have their babies? That’s the Margaret Sanger way. You may have your Black Lives Matter sign out, but it’s a lie if you don’t consider the lives of the unborn black babies, too. And their mothers might not believe they have any other choice but the one that the vice president of the United States insists is health care and freedom. If that’s the case, freedom is enslavement for all too many young women and girls.
It’s death. It’s misery.
What a country we would be if we rallied to help women be the mothers they already are when they are pregnant. Enthusiasm for abortion — which Kamala Harris represents — is simply the insistence that women have the right to a dead baby. That’s extremism. That’s not where most pro-choice Americans are, and I do pray that whatever happens in the midterm elections, both parties will be sane and compassionate on this human-rights struggle of 0ur lives. It is only beginning.
