Latest headlines are all about Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance predicting on a Sunday morning discuss present that, if re-elected, President Donald Trump would veto any nationwide invoice banning abortion.
As is so typically the case with the legacy media, they have been asking the improper query.
Within the present political local weather, such a pro-life invoice wouldn’t make it to Trump’s desk. Congress doesn’t have the political will, and the filibuster creates a 60-vote threshold within the Senate.
So asking a query like NBC’s Kristen Welker requested is establishing a state of affairs that’s completely devoid of actuality.
One other unlikely state of affairs is a Democrat-controlled Congress sending to Trump the Girls’s Well being Safety Act, a radical piece of laws that may undo each pro-life legislation within the nation.
I’m wondering why they didn’t ask about that.
I’m nonetheless ready for the interview during which the media ask concerning the precise pro-life measures that can be throughout the President’s energy from day one, all of which he did in his first time period. For example:
- Will you reinstate the expanded Mexico Metropolis coverage, which so effectively saved U.S. tax {dollars} from flowing to abortion profiteers abroad?
- Will you reinstate the rule barring any group that receives Title X funds for household planning from discussing abortion with their purchasers?
- Will you proceed to nominate federal judges who perceive that the suitable to life is key to our Structure?
- Will you might have the US as soon as once more signal on to the life-affirming Geneva Consensus Declaration?
- Will you once more defund the U.N. Inhabitants Fund (UNFPA), which peddles abortion ideology in 150 nations?
- Will you reinstate the workplace of Conscience and Spiritual Freedom throughout the Division of Well being and Human Companies?
However, in fact, the Trump-hating media will not be desirous about making the President appear affordable to pro-life and pro-choice folks alike, by reminding them that he helps pro-life measures that almost all People likewise assist.
Anti-Trumpers don’t need to remind pro-life folks of what he truly completed, as a result of which may encourage slightly than suppress the pro-life vote.
We have already got the instruments we have to change public coverage in a second Trump time period to higher shield the unborn.
We want freedom of speech, so we are able to educate folks on abortion; freedom of faith to activate church buildings to guard the unborn; freedom of meeting to permit for pro-life marches, rallies, protests and prayer vigils; and, importantly, present pro-life legal guidelines, which truly hold some cash away from abortion companies and shield some infants.
These instruments already are in our arsenal, however the Democrats need to take them away from us. They’re throwing peaceable pro-lifers in jail, censoring pro-life speech, making an attempt to close down being pregnant facilities and canceling pro-life politicians.
President Trump is one of the best particular person to guard the instruments we want with a view to finish abortion. We don’t want him to provide pro-life speeches or decide to signing payments – like a nationwide ban on abortion – that aren’t going to return to his desk within the first place.
We’ve got to get him elected, as a result of if the Democrats have their means, the pro-life motion is not going to have the political freedom to guard any infants.
And but right here we’re, over the weekend and at present, arguing on social media and within the press about whether or not we are able to assist President Trump as a result of, as some say, he’s “backing away” from the pro-life place.
In actuality, the selection earlier than us just isn’t between President Trump and any person higher. It’s between President Trump and any person worse. It’s between President Trump, who made it attainable for states to guard the unborn, as lots of them now do and can proceed to do, and Kamala Harris, who needs to remove the power of states to guard the unborn by making abortion a elementary constitutional proper.
I typically say that moms don’t select abortion as a result of they’ve freedom of selection, however as a result of they haven’t any freedom and no selection. On this election, if we need to protect our freedom to guard life, there is just one selection.
