The debate on November 30, 2023, between Governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Gavin Newsom of California was a stark contrast of two opposing views when it comes to the dignity of life. Moderator, Sean Hannity asked Newsom at least twice whether he believed in any restrictions on abortion. Newsom evaded the question and went to his trite demagogic response by pointing out that DeSantis’s 15-week ban was “extreme” in his opinion. This is par for the course for any pro-abortion advocate; never acknowledge reality, only platitudes that have no logic, nor rhyme or reason.
Whenever politicians discuss this issue, evasion and obfuscation is their modus operandi (MO). On this issue I’m reminded of the Nazi era saying attributed to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi general: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” This sounds like it was issued yesterday. Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been trying to enshrine abortion rights in our Constitution. The State of Ohio just recently voted to enshrine abortion until birth in their state constitution, for example.
On the other hand, pro-life politicians have no proper response. Why are my fellow pro-life advocates like Governor DeSantis not asking the crucial question – What is the unborn? Is the unborn just tissue or an organ like your tonsils? Is the unborn not a human being in the womb? Why do we not make the pro-abortion politicians answer this question? This is not just opinion; it’s a scientific fact. Most scientists agree that life begins at conception. If you Google this question, you will find that 96% of scientists in over 1,000 academic institutions agree that life begins at conception. Scientist have recently found that life begins at conception with a burst of light observable with a microscope. Click here to read the story.
We can refer to the Bible on the dignity of life, but we don’t need to; science, philosophy, reason, and logic have already made it clear. What does the pro-abortion side have on their side to back-up their position? I’ve seen nothing except personal platitudes like “my body, my choice,” “women’s health,” or, as Gavin Newsom said, abortion, the killing of an unborn human being, is “a choice between a woman and her doctor.” Well with this definition, anyone of us, with the consultation of our doctor, could kill a two-month-old child, for instance. Where is the logic? Many states have passed laws that include an unborn fetus a second murder whenever a pregnant woman is murdered. California Penal Code 187 makes this statement regarding the unborn fetus of a pregnant woman who is killed: “Penal Code section 187, subdivision (a) defines murder as “the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought.” The statute excludes lawful abortions or acts by a physician to save the life of “the mother of the fetus.” As Lt. Columbo would say, just one last question: Does this not admit that an unborn baby is a human being that deserves protection? So, the state is saying that an unborn baby in the womb is a human if the mother is killed but the mother can choose to kill it by abortion and the unborn is not considered a human. What logic or reason does this follow? This is insanity.
The only person who is an abortion supporter who follows the logic of his argument is Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, Peter Singer. He makes this statement concerning infanticide: “It may be all right, to kill infants. Because they are not “persons,” they have no interest in staying alive, and it is only superstition that makes us think that killing them is intrinsically wrong.” Singer may be wrong, but unlike most politicians and others, he follows his argument to its logical conclusion.
