A bit of clarity

This is no silver lining but when the U.S. House of Representatives failed to ban sex-selection abortions in late May the issue of abortion in America became clearer. Democrats and Republicans voted on both sides of the bill that would make it illegal to “knowingly perform an abortion based on the sex of the child.” Knowledgeable observers say neither the Senate nor the president would have approved the measure if the House had.

Now we know this is not about women. Sex-selection abortions are done to prevent the birth of girl children much more often than to prevent the birth of boys.

Now we know that the “safe, legal, and rare” rubbish is simply that. Planned Parenthood, the enemy of life and now of women in America, “condemns any coercive reproductive policies.” That means any law that protects unborn life of any sort for any reason, any law that informs mothers of the stage of their baby’s life, any law that protects underage girls from ignorance and manipulation by a greedy industry, and any law that prevents cruel and bloody murder of an already viable child in the birth canal, is condemned by this “women’s health” company.

Now we know that the lives of some people in America are merely hypothetical and political to some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

Now we know.
