The question is suddenly relevant after all but three Senate Democrats, and every Democrat Senator including Sanders who is running for President, voted to allow the execution of babies after birth, when the umbilical cord is cut and the baby is no longer dependent on her mother. If the vast majority of the Democrat leadership in the Senate has come out in favor of killing born babies is the Democrat party now the party of infanticide?
The good news is that while Democrat politicians are clearly on the side of killing unwanted born babies--not surprising since after all Democrats aren't mad at Democrat Governor Northam of Virginia because of his advocacy of infanticide only about his former(?) love of the KKK-- people who vote for Democrats aren't.
A recent
poll shows that there has been a huge shift in the pro-life/pro-abortion opinions of Americans. We've always know that most Americans support abortion only out of sympathy for 12 year old girls who were raped because if Americans supported abortion in general the left wouldn't be appalled at being called pro-abortion and back in the 1990's Hillary wouldn't have had to say that abortion should be
rare.
In fact if you call someone who is advocating for abortion for any reason at any time in a pregnancy pro-abortion they will, almost universally, declare that they're not pro-abortion. But if abortion is a good thing how can it be bad to be for it?
In order to keep abortion legal the left has had to consistently lie and resort to emotionalism by denying the scientifically defined humanity of the unborn and misstating the reasons for abortion.
Science says that human life begins at conception because that's when our unique DNA that defines our purely biological identity is formed and after that point it doesn't change. Fetus is a term for a stage in human life just like teenager and toddler; it's not a scientific term for some form of non-human life.
Because in the last month or so Democrats have come out in support of infanticide as well as killing babies who are in the process of being born people are starting to realize that they've been lied to; Democrat politicians aren't pro-choice they're pro-killing babies. Especially Black babies.
Whenever there is a racial disparity, less than 12% of CEOs are Black or more than 12% of prison inmates are Black, Democrat politicians tell us that it has to be due to racism. Yet Democrat politicians and the #FakeNews media aren't bothered by the fact that Black women are 3 times as likely to abort their babies than white women. Democrat politicians have said that the government should pay for abortions to reduce welfare costs and it's highly unlikely when rich white Democrat politicians talk about welfare costs they're thinking about white people. After all if the fact that the leading cause of death for Black Americans is abortion doesn't bother Democrat politicians how unlikely is it that they view that one racial disparity as a good thing?
But Democrat's lie by omission about the impact of what Jesse Jackson called genocide against Blacks isn't the only lie Democrats and their propaganda arm the #FakeNews media have been telling to their voters.
Since 1972 Democrat politicians have been telling lies and not revealing what they really believe in. But over time the mask has been slipping. At first we were told that abortion would benefit every child by making every child a wanted child. Because only "wanted" children would be born their would be less child abuse for example. But as child abuse rates increased--which was hardly surprising due to the fact if you tell someone they can kill their daughter before she's born, that's she's property, they're more likely to think they can rape or beat her up after she's born--Democrats shifted to the Hillary 20th century mode; abortion should be safe, rare, and legal.
Fast forward to today and we have Hillary and the left saying that a woman going against 4 billion years of evolution and killing her daughter is to be celebrated. We have buildings in New York state lit up to rejoice that when a woman's daughter is killed by a mugger under the new NY law he can't be charged with murder. We have a prominent leftist actress saying she's sorry she's never had an abortion.
Because the left controls the culture and because they live in nearly childless bubbles where children are viewed as a burden and promiscuous hedonism is the highest ideal they have lost sight of the reality that most people who vote for pro-abortion politicians aren't themselves pro-abortion.
The recent poll shows 71% of Americans oppose abortions after 20 weeks including 59% of Democrat voters. Only 18% of Americans support the current Supreme Court edict which imposes abortion for any reason at any point during a pregnancy. Even 64% of Democrats want abortions limited to the first trimester.
The obvious question to ask is if even Democrat voters oppose unconstrained abortion why do Democrat politicians still vote for it? If the vast majority of Americans oppose late term abortions, including Democrat voters, why did all but 3 Democrat Senators vote to allow the killing of born alive babies?
The answer is that Democrat politicians, the abortion industry--PP
rakes in around $1.3 billion a year--, and the #FakeNews media have been peddling the Big Lie that abortion is something that only happens when a woman is raped or when she's facing death.
In fact
according to the Allan Guttmacher Institute, a Planned Parenthood affiliated think tank, 49% of women who have an abortion didn't use contraception--and that's not because they didn't know about it or because they couldn't afford the $9.99 a month that contraception costs--when they got pregnant. Essentially around half a million or more abortions a year occur because women are using abortion as their only form of family planning.
In fact Guttmacher tells us that only 13% of all abortions are due to rape or threat to the health, not life, of the mother.
Guttmacher says that
only 1% of the more than 1,000,000 abortions that occur in America every year are due to rape. Interestingly at least half of the small number of women who become pregnant due to rape--pregnancy is rare in rape because the woman's body has evolved to reduce the chances of pregnancy when the woman isn't willing--choose to not kill their daughters. The appeal of allowing a woman to kill her own child because the child's father is a monster is understandable but ask yourself this; if we oppose the death penalty for rapists how can we support the death penalty for a rapist's daughter for the crime of being conceived?
But even if we allow abortion for cases of rape Planned Parenthood would lose hundreds of millions of dollars and over a million babies would be saved each year.
As far as health goes Guttmacher says that 12% of abortions are due to a woman's concern about her health. This number has to be examined very closely. First in an earlier study Guttmacher asked women if they'd been told by a medical doctor that they needed to have an abortion for their health and they found that only 3% of the women who said they had an abortion for their health had actually been told that they should have an abortion by a medical doctor. Which if true today would mean that 12% * 3% = 0.36% of abortions occurre because a medical doctor said that they were necessary for the mothers health.
It gets even worse when one realizes that according to the Supreme Court a woman's health includes things like her being sad or depressed. So a woman who thought she would be sad if she couldn't kill her unborn daughter would classify herself as having an abortion for health reasons.
As an aside the only common case where a woman's life is in danger due to a pregnancy is what's called an ectopic pregnancy. In that case the baby cannot be saved and even the Catholic Church allows for a procedure to save the woman's life which has as an unintended side effect the slightly earlier death of her child. Basically abortion is never useful for protecting women's lives and in the vast majority of cases where a woman's life is at risk even the Catholic Church allows a procedure which will save her life.
Even if we accept Guttmachers statistics at face value that means that 86% of abortions aren't the result of rape, incest--which is the cause of <0 .5="" abortions="" due="" guttmacher--="" health="" mother.="" of="" or="" p="" the="" threat="" to="">
But we all know that the #FakeNews media, the entertainment industry, academia, and Democrat politicians have been telling us all for decades that abortion is only a last resort to save a woman in a horrible situation.
The reality is that according to Guttmacher 74% of abortions are performed because the woman thinks that having a baby will "dramatically change my life". By which criteria every pregnancy could be terminated.
That's why the country is suddenly becoming more pro-life. Very few Americans support the idea of killing an innocent unborn baby so as to allow women to be available as sex objects for men to use.
As more and more Americans see through the lies about why women have abortion the support for our current Judicially imposed rules will continue to wither until only the 18% of Americans who support killing an unborn baby so as to not cause her mother to have to change plans will be the only voices for the current system.
Democrat politicians and the abortion industry attacked the recent bill that said that born alive babies should get appropriate medical care by calling it "anti-science" and saying that it would restrict access to abortion both of which are out and out lies. But this isn't surprising. When Democrats wanted to keep the people of California from establishing term limits for politicians Democrats ran TV ads that said that if the proposition passed--without mentioning that the proposition was about term limits--it would destroy the California environment and all the California beaches. When Democrat politicians can't defend their position they will directly and intentionally lie to we the people hoping that because we're honest we'll mistakenly think that they're honest too.
It's easy to see how kids who have been brainwashed their whole lives in public schools that the unborn aren't human and that there's a magical moment at birth where a clump of cells becomes their little sister could support abortion in cases of rape, incest, or threat to the mothers life.
It's even easy to see why those people would assume that Democrat politicians, the #FakeNews media, and their left wing teachers wouldn't lie to them about something so important and so fundamental.
The problem for the Democrat politicians and their Igor's in the #FakeNews media is that Abraham Lincoln was right when he said you can't fool all the people all the time. Intelligent Democrat voters are, thanks to the hubris and narcissism of Democrat politicians, seeing what Democrat politicians actually stand for. The mask of compassion is slipping off and the blood stained hands of Democrat politicians advocating for the right to kill born babies are starting to show.
Being pro-choice to Democrat politicians means allowing abortion for any reason at any point in time including and a bit after birth. But that's not what pro-choice means to Democrat voters.
The good news is that the roughly 50% of Americans who vote for Democrats don't share the Democrat politicians eagerness to kill born babies.
That's why it's critical you educate your friends and families about just what Democrat politicians really support.
To paraphrase the Washington Post; Democrat politicians thrive in darkness and die in the light
