Who is happy with no abortion questions asked at third debate?

Sep 13, 2019

By Dave Andrusko

A first…agreeing with pro-abortionists that when no questions were asked about abortion in last night’s third debate among the ten leading Democrats running for President, it was a lost opportunity. Beyond that global generalization, we obviously different.

The contours of the pro-abortion lament took two forms. First, as Vox’s Anna North wrote, while

“Most of the 2020 Democrats agree on a few broad policy proposals on abortion… that doesn’t mean that every candidate, if elected, would make reproductive health a priority. To judge how committed the candidates are, voters need to hear them speak. And on Thursday, they didn’t get that opportunity.”

Decoded. Who could up the ante on the extremist statements already made by the likes of the now-departed Sen, Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), or Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, or Julian Castro, Obama’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, or South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, to name just four?

The other primary grumble was that the absence of a discussion over abortion might discourage women for whom offing unborn children is a major issue by suggesting Democrats are not going to make abortion on demand a preeminent issue. This is preposterous.

There are nine more debates and all the leading Democrat candidates have pledged their bona fides to the advancement of abortion until birth with a nod toward including infanticide should any baby survive the abortionist’s arsenal.

Pro-lifers want abortion addressed publicly as often as possible. Every time it is, the odds are increased the candidates will come closer and closer to admitting their position: unfettered abortion, for any reason or no reason, publicly funded, up through the end of pregnancy.

If (somehow) they were asked why they oppose the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, their evasions and side-stepping and overall dishonesty would be on view for the world to see. The public would see the logic of abortion extended to abortion survivors, which is unacceptable to everyone with a conscience.

The next debate will be held somewhere in Ohio October 15 and possibly October 16. Why a second day? Eleven candidates have already met the criteria established by the Democratic National Committee and at least one more might.

Stay tuned.
