The party of death

The Democratic Party has traversed from acceptance of early-stage abortion as something that is “safe, legal, and rare” to a wholesale celebration of abortion throughout pregnancy, and even beyond. In addition, Democratic protestations about protecting the health of mothers fall flat because their inclusion of a mother’s mental and emotional well-being allows for nearly anyone to abort at any point during pregnancy. This absolutist position amounts to an infanticide stance that makes even Roe v Wade supporters understandably queasy.

In addition to this abortion militancy, Democratic politicians have also made clear that faithful church members are not qualified for government appointments, including judgeships. For example, presidential candidate Kamala Harris harangued federal judicial nominee Brian Buescher about his faith and membership in the large Catholic charitable fraternity the Knights of Columbus. She dismissed this church “society comprised of primarily Catholic men … [that] opposes a woman’s right to choose.” The California senator also incredulously asked if Buescher was aware of this stance upon joining the service organization. As I previously wrote, the actual scandal would be if the Knights did not accept long-standing Catholic teaching on a matter as fundamental as the sanctity of life.
