The reason Twitter bannedLila Rose’s LiveAction pro-life ads, and images of actual abortions are not permitted is because the Left knows they’re wrong on the issue. Shutting down discussion is their only way for leftists to win.

The Left worships at the altar of abortion. They even thought it ok to make up fake stories about Judge Kavanaugh, who is too pro-life for them.

There are valid points, but it doesn’t mention another issue with Roe v. Wade that aided in the polarization: It elevated abortion to the federal level. As Antonin Scalia noted in his Planned Parenthood v. Casey dissent:
Not only did Roe not, as the Court suggests, resolve the deeply divisive issue of abortion; it did more than anything else to nourish it, by elevating it to the national level where it is infinitely more difficult to resolve. National politics were not plagued by abortion protests, national abortion lobbying, or abortion marches on Congress before Roe v. Wade was decided. Profound disagreement existed among our citizens over the issue—as it does over other issues, such as the death penalty—but that disagreement was being worked out at the state level. As with many other issues, the division of sentiment within each State was not as closely balanced as it was among the population of the Nation as a whole, meaning not only that more people would be satisfied with the results of state-by-state resolution, but also that those results would be more stable. Pre-Roe, moreover, political compromise was possible.
Roe’s mandate for abortion on demand destroyed the compromises of the past, rendered compromise impossible for the future, and required the entire issue to be resolved uniformly, at the national level.
Roe fanned into life an issue that has inflamed our national politics in general, and has obscured with its smoke the selection of Justices to this Court in particular, ever since. And by keeping us in the abortionumpiring business, it is the perpetuation of that disruption, rather than of any Pax Roeana, that the Court’s new majority decrees.
