This One Will Upset Some Of You

And with that headline, you’ve been warned. So, if you’re not able to accept a couple of the absolute truths in this one, better to skip it and wait for tomorrow’s blog. You’ve been warned!

The top two campaign issues, according to just about everyone this year are #1 the economy (stupid…thanks James Carville!) and #2 the crisis at the southern border. However, Democrats are putting their eggs in the 2022 election cycle basket and are calling abortion the top issue, even though only 12% of likely voters feel that way. Today, we poke a hole in their argument.

But in order to do so, we have to realize there are two things that are just plain false in the liberal way of thinking when it comes to abortion. The first is, they call it “women’s health”. It’s not. It’s the taking of a fetus, and in some cases, where a beating heart has been detected, it’s a living fetus. I don’t care where you decide life begins, whether at inception, or with the first heartbeat, we all can agree that sometime when that baby is in the womb it is capable of living on it’s own outside the womb. Whenever you personally feel that is, is when life begins.

You also have to understand (and most liberals don’t want to do this) that there is a higher power that we refer to as God that makes a lot of the rules we live by. Why is it that most of us know the difference between right and wrong without being taught. Why are there so many rules to how things are? Who made those rules that seem so steadfast? Christians call this force God. Muslims call it Allah. Jews call it Yahweh. Same thing. It’s a higher power that creates all that is.

So, with that in mind, number one is realizing that abortion does involve the killing of a living being. And according to most religions, most philosophies, most feelings of right and wrong, that would be placed in the “wrong” category. And again, I don’t care what religion you are or IF you are religious, it’s pretty much the same for everyone, even athiests.

The second fallacy is that liberals like to use the phrase “a woman’s right to choose”. Let’s be 100% clear on this one. I believe fully that a woman DOES have a right to choose. However where I differ from liberals on this is WHEN that right to choose goes into effect. The liberal will tell you it goes into effect whenever the woman doesn’t want to have the baby, even in some cases up to the moment of birth. I believe that a woman’s right to choose starts and ends when they have made the decision to have intercourse with a partner. They have made that choice. And I’m not saying that right should be taken away. They always have the “right” to say “NO!” and that should be followed. So, coming up with a woman’s right to choose after she’s gotten pregnant isn’t fair to everyone involved. Make that choice BEFORE you get pregnant.

The one thing I’ve noticed this campaign more than any other, and the other day we were talking about it when we were discussing the student loan transfer to the taxpayers. It’s called personal responsibility. You have choices in life. Some are good, and some are bad. If you make the wrong choice, you’re going to feel some sort of pain, be it going through an unwanted pregnancy, or having to payback a student loan for an education that didn’t afford you enough opportunities to make enough money to pay the loan back. No one put a gun to your head in either situation. You need to take personal responsibility for your actions, good and bad. And you can’t expect the government to come to the rescue just because you screwed up. It’s YOUR problem, not all of ours.

And that’s why abortion isn’t such a big campaign issue this time around. Think about it!

Carry on world…you’re dismissed!
