There was recent talk by two Democrats who wanted to federalize
abortion. I feel this is the stupidest idea I have ever heard. So let's
discuss why.
Why it is dumb: If they federalize abortion, then
they completely override all the safety protocols and laws that protect women in
each of the 50 States. It is legal in all States, but each State imposes
specific and clear laws that are designed to limit abortions in such a way as
to protect the mother from harm, and if the child is too old to be aborted from
the mother’s womb. If the Congress federalizes abortion it could make
abortion permissible beyond the first trimester legal which means killing a
viable child in the womb. States like Texas make it so that all abortions
use sonograms to insure that as the fetus being aborted in such a way that the
doctor can see what they are doing in the womb. All States limit abortion
(save under very specific circumstances) to the first two to three months.
Many have parental consent clauses for thus under 18, and other laws
designed to aid in catching rapists if the child was born of such a crime.
If the Feds have their way, they would have to not only right up new
laws, but they could destroy all the safety nets applied by the States.
It will not happen thankfully: For one, this law will never pass.
Congress is made up of two houses, a House and a Senate. So long as
one is controlled by a majority of pro-life individuals then the law will never
make it to the President’s desk. In addition, the nation as a whole is
pro-life, so the level of outrage will overwhelm the elected representatives.
So for now, the abortion industry and the safety of women is secured from
nationalization.
Conclusion: I hate abortion. I think it
is a stain upon the country in the same way slavery was and in some cases still
is. Nationalizing abortion is something done by fools who wish to make
abortion so pervasive that it goes unchecked. Whatever happened to the
idea of it being used in the rarest of cases? Well you obviously know my
opinion on the issue, and why I am concerned. Even though I am not a
woman, I know there are at the very least, alternatives to this horrible
option. So I am thankful that the majority of this country believes in
the sanctity of life.
