Why Democrats Obscure Their Stance on Abortion

To learn where Democrats stand on abortion — and what it takes to be a law professor these days — let’s go to a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing:

University of California, Irvine Chancellor’s Professor of Law Michele Goodwin testified during a hearing on “The Assault on Reproductive Rights in a Post-Dobbs America” Wednesday, continually comparing the harm black women experienced during slavery and Jim Crow laws to modern abortion restrictions, which she notes are spreading through “what was the U.S. confederacy.” Judiciary Democrats announced the hearing shortly after a Texas judge suspended the FDA’s approval of abortion pill mifepristone, a decision the Supreme Court recently granted a stay on pending its appeal in the Fifth Circuit.

Blacks are overwhelmingly more likely than whites to be killed by abortion. Yet the professor’s learned stance on abortion is that those who don’t like it are guilty of racism Racism RACISM!

Good thing a low IQ is protection from irony. Otherwise, she would knock herself off her chair:

“The state of Mississippi has notoriously been a death sentence for black women dating back to the time of slavery, through Jim Crow into the present,” Goodwin said. “If we don’t thread that needle together, then there’s a lot that we are missing…Mississippi is one of the deadliest places not just in the country to be pregnant, but one of the deadliest places in all of the industrialized world to be pregnant.”

Although not as deadly a place to be a black baby as say, hyperliberal New York City, where…

…thousands more black babies are aborted than born alive each year, and the abortion rate among black mothers is more than three times higher than it is for white mothers. According to a city Health Department report released in May, between 2012 and 2016 black mothers terminated 136,426 pregnancies and gave birth to 118,127 babies.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) figured that since Professor Goodwin was there to talk about abortion, not racism, she might as well elucidate her stand on the matter. He received a lesson in how to answer a question by refusing to answer it:

Ted Cruz explains why the nutty professor would not just say yes:

Few people are sick enough to find it acceptable to kill viable children on the technicality that they have not yet passed entirely through the birth canal. Despite what you may have heard, moral decency is not a losing position.

At least Democrats stay true to their first principles. Given that men are women if they say they are women, then they ought to be allowed to compete in women’s sports. Likewise, given that a baby’s life has no value, then you can snuff out that life whenever you wish, regardless of when it began.

Towering shrines to evil can be constructed upon the silliest of lies. This is why moonbats must always be called out on their lies.
