Why Are We Killing Babies When Babies Are Wanted?
 [National Review] We will never again sow division. Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one shall make them afraid." That’s from Amanda Gordon’s poem "The Hill We Climb," which she read at our 59th presidential inauguration. They were consistent with President Biden’s own words to those who did not support him: "Hear me out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart."Unfortunately, Joe Biden didn’t wait even until the end of the week to pounce on some of his most divisive priorities. The statement that he and Vice President Kamala Harris released for the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal in all three trimesters of pregnancy, was the most vehement yet from any Democratic administration. After asserting that "reproductive health . . . has been under relentless and extreme attack," Biden and Harris write that the administration is "deeply committed to making sure everyone has access to . . . reproductive health care." The statement continues: The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to codifying Roe v. Wade and appointing judges that respect foundational precedents like Roe. . . . Now is the time to rededicate ourselves to ensuring that all individuals have access to the health care they need. One of the problems here, of course, is that abortion isn’t mere health care. It isn’t your heart medication or chemotherapy for cancer — which, by the way, some patients have been unable to access during the rolling shutdowns for COVID. But, unlike these treatments, abortions have been available throughout the pandemic. Abortion is the ending of a life. It’s the severing of the most precious bond there is, the one between a mother and child. Related: National Review - What the Media Won’t Tell Us about Abortion Posted by: Besoeker 2021-02-01 |
