My commentary published in today's Washington Times:
Even
with polls showing that more Americans call themselves pro-life than
pro-choice, with undercover recordings of Planned Parenthood scandals going
viral on YouTube and with ultrasound images ripping the
curtain off the “blob of tissue” deception, Democratic strategists incredibly
persist in advancing abortion as a primary party plank (“Abortion issue sets
tone for attracting women at DNC,” Web, Sept. 4).
The
denseness of the Democrats’ decision betrays the desperation of those adhering
to an ideology that has infiltrated a party once known for championing the
rights of the most vulnerable among us. By asserting that ending the life of a
developing baby provides a steppingstone to women seeking to advance
professionally, what credibility remains when the party attacks employers for
putting profit over the welfare of employees? How can a party that devalues the
life of developing children pretend to speak for the education of young
children? How can the party advance the rights of undocumented aliens to be
granted citizenship in this country while simultaneously undermining the rights
of children to be born in this country?
With
members of the up-and-coming generation joining the growing ranks of pro-life
Americans, the Democrats’ abortion agenda appears poised to go down as one of
the most tragic political miscalculations in history.
