The Left's Pro-Abortion Extremism
Abortion is a hot topic right now. If you find yourself arguing with friends, family members, neighbors or complete strangers about the abortion issue, here's something to keep in mind:
Very few Americans believe there should be no restrictions on abortions, that abortions should be paid for by the taxpayers, and that doctors and nurses with moral objections should be forced to perform abortions.
If you're debating someone like that, just stop. You're not going to change their mind. Don't waste your time. The real issue is that vast majority of Americans want reasonable restrictions on abortion. Unfortunately, Roe v. Wade doesn't allow that.
With the Supreme Court ready to overturn Roe, the pro-abortion left is panicking. So yesterday, dozens of liberal senators voted for the most extreme pro-abortion law imaginable.
They not only voted for legislation to preserve Roe v. Wade, they voted to go way beyond that by repealing every state restriction on abortion. There are dozens of pro-life laws across the country, and Senate liberals just voted to repeal them all.
Thankfully, this radical bill failed to pass. But the vote was 49-to-51. Yes, the vote was that close! (Click here to see how your senators voted.)
But if the pro-abortion left had its way, all limits on late-term abortions would be gone. All parental notification laws would be gone. All 24-hour waiting periods would be gone. All informed consent laws would be gone.
It's absolutely clear who the real abortion extremists are. So-called "progressives" want as many abortions – as many dead babies – as possible. Now that's extreme!
