20-Week Abortion Ban

[PLAL]

When word came down the night of January 21 that House GOP leaders were reneging on their promise to hold a vote on the 20-week abortion ban the next day – the haunting 42nd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v Wade decision – [WARNING: vulgarity alert], I was pissed off to the height of pisstivity. Sorry, that’s the most accurate way I can describe it.

How could GOP leaders have been so careless, cavalier, and apathetic as to let this lowest hanging fruit of a pro-life bill get away from them? How could they have been so cajoneless as to abandon the 20-week ban at the first sign of trouble? And just how low was their respect for the pro-life movement that they would dare to insult us on such a colossal scale?

And then to go silent about the ban for two full months following that debacle?

I’m boiling over again even as I type.

It seems like pro-lifers are really getting a beating anymore. Maybe not physical, but in many other ways. Life is just not given the respect it deserves. I don’t know about other countries, but I think here in America we do away with life when it becomes inconvenient. Not just with abortion, but with end of life issues as well. It’s a sad time for all.

For politicians, talk is cheap. You can’t rely on congress as individuals even though as a party they supposedly support the pro life cause.

Disgraceful Republican, not any better for us than a principled Democrat. Very sad.
