Hats off and kudos to the editors of the National Catholic Register (NRC) for a terrific “Fact-Checking Harris and Walz on Late-Term Abortion”.
We know that Harris and Walz keep slip-slipping away from the truth. Ironically, the truth is so horrible that much of the public would probably rather hear a diluted account.
But the truth is the truth!
The NRC editors hit the major point right out of the box: that Harris and Walz “are seeking to obscure an ugly and deadly reality: that late-term abortions continue to take place in the United States.” And if they are elected, late-term abortions are sure to increase.
“Harris and Walz have tried to skirt the issue of late-term abortions, implying that such abortions won’t be more easily available if their permissive national abortion policies come into force,” the editors write. “They are trying to sidestep the matter for a simple reason: They know that killing unborn babies this late in pregnancy — at a stage of their development when only pro-abortion zealots can deny their full humanity — is opposed by the overwhelming majority of Americans.”
They employ a dodge so dear to the tiny hearts of pro-abortionists: that they are “seeking merely to return to the legalized abortion framework that existed while Roe v. Wade was still in place,” as if Roe banned late-term abortions.
“When pressed by former president Donald Trump, the GOP candidate, during their Sept. 10 presidential debate about the reality that late-term abortions occurred during the final months of pregnancy while Roe was in place, Harris countered, “That’s not true.”
It is true.
There are in the neighborhood of 10,000 babies slaughtered at over 21 weeks. Pro-abortionists simply lie about, just as they lie about the truth that there are born-alive babies who have survived abortions
And worse yet, like all Democrats, they are in love with the “Women’s Health Protection Act,” which is Roe on steroids. If this act were to pass, virtually nothing would be left of the gains that we made before Dobbs overturned Roe and since that great June 2022 decision. Moreover, passage of future state protective laws would be essentially impossible.
You get the picture: truth is highly flexible in the hands (and mouths) of Harris and Walz. How do they live with themselves?
Take a few minutes out and read this great editorial.
