Wrong About Rights
As we noted yesterday, Joe Biden went to New York City to deliver remarks about crime. He didn't say one word about left-wing prosecutors coddling criminals or our revolving door justice system that releases thugs with no bail required. Instead, he pushed plans to restrict the Second Amendment, insisting that "no right is absolute."
Here's what you must understand: When it comes to our rights, and especially those articulated in the Constitution, there is a presumption that they are not to be restricted.
Any government official who wants to restrict our rights should be viewed with considerable suspicion, and they bear a heavy legal burden to demonstrate an extreme need to limit our rights.
In spite of what Biden said, he and the entire left-wing juggernaut actually does believe there is a right that is absolute and unlimited. More absurdly, this right not even in the Constitution. To them, it's the most precious right of all – the right to destroy innocent pre-born children.
Unlike the Second Amendment right in the Constitution, which often results in lives being saved, the so-called "right" they cherish is always intended to result in death.
The left worships at the altar of abortion on demand. Liberals oppose every commonsense restriction to abortion. They believe abortions must be allowed at any time for any reason or no reason at all, up to the moment of birth and even after birth.
These so-called "progressives" support abortion if the baby's gender is "wrong." They support abortion to continue the genocide of individuals with Down Syndrome. They won't restrict abortions when the baby can feel pain or when the baby has a heartbeat.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton can't name one abortion they would prevent. In fact, liberals are so pro-abortion, they want to force you to pay for other people's abortions.
The left wants to erase rights explicitly stated in the Constitution, but they are absolutists about a right that isn't in the Constitution. And it is not there. No one found a right to abortion in the Constitution from 1787 to 1972.
When they claimed there was a constitutional right to abortion in the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, they were simply wrong. It is an error that, hopefully, will soon be corrected.
