I have to confess that I’m ignorant of the pro-life movement’s platform.\u00a0 I didn’t know they had a policy, which they’d defined somewhere in unison on the wild chance that the powers that be would overturn Roe, against any punishment for women who choose to abort their children.\u00a0 I’m not running for president on a pro-life ticket, but I am equally as dismayed as Trump seems to be.<\/p>\n
Abortion is murder, yes?\u00a0 If it’s only an accomplice to murder then that’s certainly a very strong complicity, like tying up the victim and holding the gun while someone else pulls the trigger.\u00a0 But I’ve come to learn from ‘real pro-lifers’ and ‘real conservatives’ that ‘post-abortive’ mothers are actually victims<\/a> too.<\/p>\n Is punishment for women who abort bad policy?\u00a0 I suppose.\u00a0 Is it even necessary?\u00a0 Well it wasn’t before 1973, but they didn’t have the abortion pill then.\u00a0 Is it poor political strategy?\u00a0 Well I don’t know.\u00a0 It’s not like the one they have is winning, is it?<\/p>\n But the great Catholic opinion leader, ever ready to distill and ponder Pope Francis’s latest bit of ‘wisdom,’ Robert George, says that when Trump called briefly for some consequence for women, under hostile and abusive grilling from Chris Matthews, it was a sure sign he doesn’t mean any pro-life word he’s uttered<\/a>.\u00a0 “He’s not one of us,” George pronounced.<\/p>\n Who cares?\u00a0 Who do these pompous establishment scolds think they are?\u00a0 Isn’t Trump’s position even more pro-life than theirs?\u00a0 They only want sanctions for doctors, as if that’s gained them anything.<\/p>\n Trump wants more.\u00a0 Ted Cruz wants to ‘enforce the border,’ but Trump wants a wall.\u00a0 A wall is better because you know it’s working.\u00a0 But look, Ted Cruz is serious and honest while Trump’s just a pretending unChristian racist<\/a>, yes?<\/p>\n Does anybody seem to understand that when Ted Cruz jokes about how he’d like to back over Trump<\/a> with his car he’s saying the same thing to the majority of his voters?\u00a0 If Cruz is so saintly, why does he want to crush the bedrock of America under his wheels?\u00a0 I think that’s a good question.\u00a0 Why, when he smiles do people not see a smile<\/a>?\u00a0 When he laughs, why is nothing funny happening?<\/p>\n Carly Fiorina once again laid out the contemptuous slur that Trump has proven he has no principles<\/a>.\u00a0 Why? Because he wants to punish serious crimes somehow, or because he hasn’t studied up on defensive, losing pro-life policy?\u00a0 Doesn’t everyone know that ex-mother and murdered child are one and the same<\/a>?\u00a0 That’s what pro-life means!\u00a0 The movement is about healing<\/a>, not judgmentalism, and we don’t want to make millions of ‘post-abortive’ women angry at Republicans either.<\/p>\n After all, who does this non-professional think he is trying to be a Republican presidential candidate without going deep into our policy?\u00a0 Like the brilliant, grim, and unsmiling Charles Krauthammer tells us, ‘It’s not that Trump’s wrong.\u00a0 It’s his “attitude toward ‘the facts!”‘<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have to confess that I’m ignorant of the pro-life movement’s platform.\u00a0 I didn’t know they had a policy, which they’d defined somewhere in unison on the wild chance that the powers that be would overturn Roe, against any punishment for women who choose to abort their children.\u00a0 I’m not running for president on a …<\/span> Read More →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[856,352,857,196,855,826,772],"class_list":["post-7196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-abortion-punishment","tag-carly-fiorina","tag-charles-krauthammer","tag-mental-problems","tag-pro-life","tag-ted-cruz","tag-trump"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7196"}],"version-history":[{"count":38,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7196\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7234,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7196\/revisions\/7234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
