CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 11, 2024
WHAT ARE WE TO MAKE OF THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM THAT HAS CHANGED THE LANGUAGE ABOUT THE PROTECTION OF UNBORN HUMAN LIFE, LANGUAGE THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE RONALD REAGAN? THE LANGUAGE ADOPTED THIS WEEK IN MILWAUKEE PRIOR TO THE GOP CONVENTION REMOVES THE CALL FOR A NATIONAL BAN ON ABORTION AND LEAVES IT UP TO THE STATES, WHICH IS WHAT THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED WHEN IT OVERTURNED ROE VS. WADE.
THERE HAVE BEEN MORE ABORTIONS SINCE THAT COURT DECISION.
I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT RESTORING VALUE TO HUMAN LIFE AT ALL LEVELS BEGINS WITH RECOGNIZING THAT LIFE IS THE CREATION OF GOD. BUT A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SECULAR AMERICANS AND EVEN SOME CHRISTIANS DON’T BELIEVE THAT, IN THEORY OR IN PRACTICE. SO, ABORTION BECOMES A POLITICAL FOOTBALL.
AS NIKKI HALEY SAID DURING THE PRIMARIES THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH VOTES IN CONGRESS – NOT EVEN CLOSE – TO GET A NATIONAL BAN OR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT OUTLAWING MOST ABORTIONS. SO, WHAT’S THE BEST APPROACH?
WHILE HOLDING TO THE IDEAL, WE RAMP-UP SUPPORT FOR LOCAL PREGNANCY HELP CENTERS WHERE THE TRUTH CAN BE TOLD TO WOMEN WITH SONOGRAMS AND OFFERS OF HELP. WE SPEAK THE TRUTH TO FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, ENCOURAGE PASTORS TO SPEAK ABOUT THE AUTHOR OF ALL LIFE. ALL OF US CAN CONRIBUTE TO SAVING LIVES NOW AND HELPING WOMEN INDEPENDENT OF GOVERNMENT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
