Defending the Indefensible

With the recent Supreme Court decision, Dobbs v Jackson which overturned both the 1973 Roe v. Wade and 1992 Casey decisions, and turned the question of the legality of abortion back to the states which is consistent with the United States Constitution, pro-abortion activists are now forced to defend their indefensible position on abortion. They can no longer hide behind the two ill-conceived unconstitutional Supreme Court decisions passed by activist judges who wanted to legislate abortion from the bench.

Sometimes, when you know your opponent holds an indefensible position, it is best to allow them to talk, and they will expose themselves or reveal the truth that they have been fighting so hard to hide. Former President Bill Clinton’s position on abortion was that it should be “safe, legal and rare”. It makes sense for a pro-abortion advocate to want abortion to be safe and legal, but why “rare”? If the fetus is not a human life, if what is being aborted is simply a blob of cells, then it should not matter how often the procedure is performed. Yet, he said it should be “rare”. What was he admitting without admitting it?

Georgia, gubernatorial candidate and far-left activist, Stacie Abrams who believes that abortion should be legal all the way up to birth said, “it[abortion] is a medical decision. I don’t know of a single woman who reaches the stage where this decision is easy.” Again, why isn’t this decision easy? If abortion is not the taking of human life, if it is the equivalent of removing benign cells, then why would it be a difficult decision? The decision should be very easy. There should not be a moral dilemma. When I had a precancerous mole removed from my hand, there was zero moral contemplation on my part. It was the removal of a blob of cells for medical reasons. There was nothing hard about that decision.
