They Have No One To Blame But Themselves

Since the Supreme Court ruled against Roe vs Wade on Friday the Progressives have lost their minds. Truly, they have lost their minds. I’ve watched dozens of TicTok videos of women screaming, swearing, and threatening mayhem over the ruling. Hollywood is melting down. Some musician said he would renounce his citizenship over the ruling and move to England (that has stricter abortion limitations than we do), others have threatened the Justices. The media echoed the hysteria with no curiosity into the Constitutionality of the ruling.

Can we take a moment to discuss the reality of the decision? First, the ruling DID NOT ban abortion. Abortion is STILL legal. It simply took the decision out of the hands of the nine Justices and gave it back to the states…..where it always belonged. The Constitution clearly states that the powers not specifically given the federal government are left to the states. Roe vs Wade was a badly conceived, unconstitutional ruling and even Ruth Bader Ginsberg agreed.

May I point out that many people were VERY unhappy when Roe vs Wade, Obamacare, and gay marriage were passed but they didn’t threaten the lives of the Justices or demand the Court be packed with Justices that would support their desires. The Supreme Court is supposed to uphold the Constitution and decide if laws fall within the Constitution’s limits. They are NOT supposed to be influenced by public opinion.

Second, the Pro-choice advocates keep saying the Supreme Court just took away a “Constitutionally guaranteed Right”. They might try reading the Constitution because there is no such guarantee. They claim the Court has never reversed precedent before. I found 16 times they reversed a ruling (precedent), Brown vs Board of Education being the most well-known that reversed the “separate but equal” education policy.

When Progressives claim women have the “Right” to choose what they do with their bodies they conveniently neglect to mention that with “Rights” come responsibilities. They insist that women are as intelligent and capable as men, if not more so, but act as if women are completely helpless to prevent pregnancy. Responsible women have many choices to make to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. They can choose abstinence, they can choose not to have unprotected sex, and the can choose one of the dozens of forms of birth control. Progressives show their hand when they never speak of responsible behavior.

Progressives also keep saying the majority of the country supports abortion. As usual, they take a grain of truth but leave out the context. Although, it doesn’t matter what the majority supports as the Court can’t concern itself with that, yes, the majority of the country does want abortion to be legal (and it is) but NOT up to and including birth….or beyond. Progressives can never accept a compromise. Even though many pro-lifers believe life begins at conception, they could live with abortion in the first 15 weeks (heartbeat), but the majority is definitely against late term abortions. The media shows their bias when they leave that part out.

When the New York legislature was debating abortion law, a legislator asked if the law included when a women was in labor and the baby in the birth canal. The answer was that an abortion could take place at that time. People were shocked by that. More so when the law was passed and the room broke into cheers. Even for many pro-choice advocates that was a bridge too far. And yet, for Progressives it still isn’t enough. California wants abortion to be up to 36 days AFTER birth.

I find it ironic that the cities that had the biggest, most violent protests over the ruling this weekend were in Blue states where nothing is going to change. They can still have abortions at any time for any reason up to and including birth. California and New York already have extremely liberal abortion laws, yet they have the most hysterical protestors. They say they are concerned for the women in states that will limit abortion. They don’t give a moment’s thought to the fact that the people of those states WANT limits on abortion. That’s the POINT. In a Republic we have representative government. We vote for people who will represent what believe in. That was the point of the Dobbs case. The people of Mississippi wanted limits on abortion and the Federal government told them they couldn’t.

This ruling has shown who the racists are. Although Justice Alito wrote the decision, Progressives are going after Justice Thomas, a Black Conservative Justice. They say the ruling effects minority communities disproportionately. Yes, it does. In New York more Black babies are aborted than born. That is how upside down their claims are. Those who want to save minority babies are called racist but those who want them aborted are heroes.

Progressives have no one to blame but themselves. They want no limits at all on abortion. They fight against counseling, ultrasounds, adoption or ANY alternative to abortion. They especially don’t want ultrasounds because when women see their baby most choose to carry the baby to full term. The complete opposition to alternatives to abortion is yet another reason many have turned against the pro-choice side.

They are never willing to compromise or accept the status quo. They keep pushing the limits and are willing to lie, cheat and steal to get what they want. The Supreme Court twisted the Constitution into a pretzel to pass Obamacare. Much of it said policies were “at the discretion of the HHR Secretary” so we have no way of knowing what the policies will be. We learned during COVID that the government now will tell doctors what treatments and medications they can prescribe for their patients and pharmacists what medications they can fill. They can close down businesses, lock us down, mandate masks and experimental vaccines. They can deny people healthcare. Would Obamacare have passed if people had known that?

They weren’t satisfied with us accepting gay marriage, we had to embrace and encourage it. They now want us to accept Drag Queen story time, hundreds of genders that can be changed at will, boys in girl’s bathrooms and locker rooms, biological men competing in women’s sports, biological men in women’s prisons, graphic sex education, teachers encouraging puberty blockers, parental rights ignored…..they demand we agree with what we know isn’t true. And parents who object to any of this are labeled “domestic terrorists”.

They push too far. Reasonable people are willing to compromise but progressives never are. I think our days of trying to compromise with Progressives is over and they have no one to blame but themselves.
