This Week in the Pro-Life Movement:

Yeah, it could be that bad.....

It's been a while since I've done an update on recent happenings in the political world that impact the pro-life movement. I'll try to be better about it in the future. To that end, the following are the three main stories this week in all-things pro-life:

The state of Indiana passed House Bill 1337, which has been deemed 'controversial.' The bill bans abortions sought because the unborn child has Downs Syndrome. I guess controversy is generated whenever the Eugenics-agenda of the anti-life movement is thwarted. Some fun examples that illustrate the degeneracy in some quarters of the abortion movement, such as from Jezebel  (that home of radical intersectional feminist propaganda): “Any other disability is a broad spectrum that might force a woman to bring a baby to term who won't survive long past birth, potentially in great suffering, even if the pregnancy is high risk for the mother." This is obvious code for those being born with birth defects shouldn't be born. This from the same crowd who tells us not to use certain words that might denigrate those born with defects.

Pro-life leaders have said that this bill protects the lives of the most unwanted members of society. According to Life News Indiana Right to Life President and CEO Mike Fichter expressed firm support: “We are truly thankful for the passage of this historic legislation by the Indiana House and applaud the new civil rights protections this bill creates for unborn children, as well as the new provisions this bill establishes for the humane final disposition of aborted babies,' Fichter said.

Salon implied that the passage of this bill was part of a larger conspiracy by virtue of the country being distracted by the Donald Trump show . This is an odd claim given that Salon is part of the Leftist Social Justice Warrior Media Industrial Complex. Activists SHOULD be able to promote various efforts at the same time, though often this isn't the case. I suppose we should all watch to see if the governor of Indiana sends Donald Trump a box of chocolates as a thank-you.

Other 'draconian' bills that protect unborn children are catching fire in Florida, Texas and Oklahoma. In Texas, abortions are down 14% since the passage of recent laws that lead to the closure of several clinics. Of course the anti-life groups call this a tragedy, because more babies being born is apparently a great and unforgivable social evil.

Finally, President Obama announced his nomination to the Supreme Court, a pick that will likely be ignored by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Judge Merrick Garland is generally being received well outside of conservative circles, especially for his strong anti-life voting record. The White House blog. sings his praises (as any official propaganda outlet will). Curiously, Cecil Richards, America's Abortionist-in-Chief, was present at the White House on the day of the announcement. No doubt the President was reassuring Ms. Richards that the abortion industry would be well-protected and invincible once his nominee replaces the late and staunchly pro-life Justice Antonin Scalia.

Likely I'll do a piece soon about the consequences of the coming election for the pro-life movement. It's almost a given that the fall contest will be between the ever popular and totally honest Hilary Clinton and the peaceful and overtly Christian Donald J Trump. Both candidates have large swaths of the voting population who refuse to vote for them from within their own respective parties. Yet what many pro-life voters who express this opinion fail to understand is that if the Supreme Court vacancy remains unfilled after the election, and if Mrs Clinton is elected, then the Supreme Court will be lost for potentially a generation. Abortion will remain legal, condemning potentially another 50 million babies to death.
