CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 19, 2023
SOMETHING UNUSUAL HAPPENED IN NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK. GOVERNOR ROY COOPER, A DEMOCRAT, HAD CELEBRATED HIS VETO OF A BILL THAT WOULD BAN ABORTIONS AFTER TWELVE WEEKS. THE USUAL PRO-ABORTION SUPPORTERS WERE THERE WITH THEIR PRE-PRINTED SIGNS.
BUT THEN THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE ACTED AND OVERRODE COOPER’S VETO. SUDDENLY THE PRO-ABORTION SIDE ISN’T CELEBRATING ANYMORE, BUT THE PRO-LIFE SIDE IS. AND BABIES WILL BE BORN, GROW-UP AND ONE HOPES BECOME USEFUL CITIZENS. THIS IS WHY ELECTIONS MATTER AT THE STATE LEVEL, AS WELL AS THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
PRO-ABORTIONISTS ARE BUSY TRYING TO GET WOKE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS AND LEGISLATORS ELECTED TO ADVANCE THEIR AGENDAS. IT IS WHY CONSERVATIVES MUST PAY ATTENTION BETWEEN ELECTIONS AND TO LEGISLATION AT THE STATE LEVEL. I HAVE SAID IT MANY TIMES AND WILL KEEP REPEATING IT. JUST AS YOU CAN’T GET INTO PHYSICAL SHAPE BY WATCHING AN EXERCISE VIDEO, NEITHER CAN YOU MAINTAIN A STRONG CONSTITUITONAL REPUBLIC IF YOU’RE NOT ENGAGED BETWEEN ELECTIONS. NORTH CAROLINA IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF ENGAGEMENT. THE BABIES WILL GROW UP AND BE GRATEFUL THEIR LIVES WERE SPARED. I’M CAL THOMAS
