NARAL and Huckabee Agree: Letting the States Decide is NOT the Way to Go!
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has come out against the idea that states should decide whether to make abortion legal or not.
She then quotes an article talking about how Huckabee-as opposed to Fred Thompson-doesn’t agree with the “letting the states decide it” approach. And this is true, at least over actually condemning abortion morally. As I’ve pointed out before, Fred Thompson says that he’s “against abortion”, but shows no real outrage over it. (Unless his “outrage” is saying that he thinks Roe vs. Wade is "bad law" and that the states should decide their own abortion laws in a voice as enthusiastic as a lecturer on different sand types in ancient Iran. Way to rally the troops, Fred!)
But the funny thing is, Jessica totally agrees with Huckabee! It’s true! She doesn’t think that the states should decide their own abortion law either, nor does NARAL, the organization for which she works!
Pro-choicers (and NARAL in particular) constantly cite polls taken in Southern California and claim that “Americans want to uphold Roe vs. Wade!” This is a pathetic tactic on their part. Oh yes, Americans are pro-choice just like NARAL: for any reason whatsoever during all nine months of pregnancy!
The reason why Jessica agrees with Huckabee is because, at one time, the states were allowed to decide their own abortion laws. And guess what: states were riddled with abortion restrictions, varying in degree from one to another. Some were (of course) more liberal, and others allowed virtually no abortions.
And pro-choicers couldn’t stand this. So they had to do what they always do to get their way: bypass democracy and go to the courts. Thankfully for them, they had the Warren Court to give them what they wanted. And they still lie to the American public, instilling fear of women giving themselves abortions with coat-hangers and candy canes (happy holidays!) should Roe vs. Wade be overturned.
While NARAL and the feminists continue to claim that Americans are for abortion, they always seem to shy away from actually letting Americans decide. They know that, sure, many Americans support abortion-but only in extreme circumstances, and almost never past the first trimester. They got the most liberal abortion policy in the world via the Warren Court, and now they are afraid that if they actually let the people decide on the matter, they may lose something as third-trimester abortions!
