How has the Left claimed the moral high ground on abortion?

First, we need to dispense with the silly use of the word “fetus.”

No one talks about their fetus’s due date or asks when your fetus is due.

Use of the word is an insidious, but successful use of propaganda to distance pro-abortionists from the reality of their position.

A baby is only a fetus when someone wants to kill a baby and doesn’t want to take responsibility for their position.

How badly has America’s moral compass been broken when people who want to keep unborn babies alive are smeared as the extremists instead of those who demand fealty to unfettered abortion.

Women have been conditioned by the Left and its lapdogs in the media to think of the killing of an unborn baby as a personal healthcare decision comparable to elective surgery. Some make the argument that it is “their body” and no one else is affected so no one else should have any say in the matter.

No one? What about the father? What about the unborn baby? Do you think they might want a say in the matter?

A civilized society has a moral interest in protecting the well-being of its most vulnerable people – who are more vulnerable than the unborn?

The Democrat party, now led by vice president and presidential candidate Kamala Harris has picked up the mantle of the pro-abortion movement and run with it. Harris and the Democrats will allow no compromise on abortion because if they support a compromise that allows abortions ONLY in cases of rape, incest and life of the mother they are admitting there is something very wrong with performing the overwhelming number of abortions that don’t fit into these categories.

You don’t need any restrictions on abortions because there’s nothing wrong with “aborting” a fetus.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

When you use the word "baby" instead of "fetus", perspectives begin to be different.

Killing a baby? That’s a different matter altogether. They have driven the reality of their position deep down so they don’t have to face up to its gruesome reality.

Perhaps most disturbing is the growing number of abortion supporters who are not satisfied with arguing that abortion is a necessary evil but seem to take pride in espousing it almost as an empowering rite of passage for women.

Even if you support abortion shouldn’t you have enough self-awareness to know you should feel at least a little reticent about the killing of babies?

Killing babies is objectively wrong so how has the pro-life movement allowed itself to be put on the defensive about wanting to save babies’ lives? The left-wing media has certainly played a decisive role by endlessly parroting the pro-abortionists’ rhetoric about “personal choice” and “healthcare.”

The Left and “morals” are mutually exclusive.



To: SeekAndFind

They have the “moral high ground” in their own sick, demented minds. They do NOT have the “moral high ground” in the realm of reality and truth. Murder is murder, whether committed in the womb our outside the body. It makes it even worse that you are killing your own, innocent and defenseless flesh and blood that is totally dependent on you for survival, just to satisfy your own selfish desire of convenience.

Sex is an adult behavior with adult consequences. If you aren’t prepared to deal with the consequences of an activity, you don’t participate in it.

Morality is lacking in both men & women who indulge themselves & then refuse to accept responsibility.

Leftists just give them an excuse for being irresponsible.

No God, no morality.

The reality is that in a culture that has embraced neo pagan hedonistic decadence, the killing of pre born human life is viewed as a right and convenience to people who see pregnancy and children as a vast infringement and inconvenience to their amoral lives.

The left never HAD any morals to begin with whatsoever.

“ Because we allowed most girls and women to be braindwashed by braindead ‘reality’ tv shows and other media”

That may have been a primary tool. But the root problem is more akin to the current fanaticism driving pedophilia, trafficking and transgenderism. A very wealthy and powerful class of perverts, who have been awarded some measure of success in this world, have created a culture of hedonism and destruction where THEY are free to use other people for their own perverted cheap kicks. They’ve cheapened life and degraded the civilization. All for their own benefit.

Simple: they have turned “reproductive rights” into the pre-eminent human rights issue over the right of the child to live.
