As political violence grows, Biden allows attacks on pro-life groups, many tied to churches. These groups advise women on options beyond abortion, offering real hope, education, jobs, childcare, legal, and health assistance. As these attacks persist, Biden’s Justice Department ramps up pro-life arrests. Why?
The odd reality, triggering protective legislation from Congressional Republicans, is that those offering hope to mothers facing this choice are being attacked by pro-abortion activists, while Justice sits idle.
If it is wrong to attack a provider of abortion, surely it is wrong to attack a pro-life provider of hope and life-changing benefits, a menu of opportunities for avoiding abortion, and enjoyment for a life of parenting.
Put differently, in this Orwellian world of redefinitions, exactly how can Justice protect a group offering abortions as “parenthood” while allowing violence against groups facilitating real parenthood?
Making matters worse, stories are emerging of FBI arrests – last week – of pro-life groups, at a time when federal law affirms there is no constitutional right to abortion. While the weight of political violence is now coming from pro-abortion activists, why arrests pro-life groups?
Trying to make sense of these convoluted facts, one is forced to draw basic conclusions.
First, although the US Supreme Court overruled Roe, the Biden Administration – which favored Roe, condemned Dobbs, pressed pro-Roe legislation, and may still pack the Supreme Court – is just not defending those who want to help pregnant mothers keep and raise their children.
That is unconscionable, legally inappropriate, and morally indefensible, and should be called out. The President and Attorney General should respect Dobbs and protect those working to constructively save the lives of both mothers and children. They have a duty to uphold the law.
In effect, while claiming to be pro-women, the Biden crowd is anti-advice, anti-motherhood, anti-parenting, and anti-life. They are dragging their feet enforcing this decision – not protecting those offering options for abortion.
Second, the Biden Administration is now – for reasons that escape rational explanation, except as a means of intimidating pro-life advocates – ramping up arrests of pro-life protestors, presumably to turn down enthusiasm for Dobbs, and to curtail those working to help mothers and unborn children.
This again is beyond the pale. If Biden’s decisions on inflation, energy, border, security, crime, not protecting Supreme Court Justices under 18 USC 1507, raiding a former president’s home are “beyond the pale,” this is beyond any ready defense.
Under what circumstances does a president or attorney general decide to abandon enforcement of laws – including protection for those operating under a new legal ruling, and then pour salt in the wound by harassing the same people for legally protesting, ironically after they won their “day in court?”
How can it be right to persecute those living by law, letting those not living by the law attack law abiders, and then use the federal government to harass these pro-life protestors? In short, it’s not.
Net-net, these developments have implications. They must not deter those living by Dobbs, those hoping States will align laws with Dobbs, or earnestly trying to help expectant mothers and babies.
They tell us – once again – what we are witnessing: An administration that does not respect “separation of powers,” horizontally among the three branches, vertically with States and The People.
Most disturbingly, what this combination – letting pro-life groups get attacked by pro-abortion activists and joining the intimidation with pro-life arrests – tells us is that the Biden crowd thinks they are not accountable to anyone, not to the People, the States, the Supreme Court, or a Higher Authority.
What this mess means for everyday Americans, after Biden’s flailing on the economy, border, crime, and national security, is it’s time for change. Voting in November – a month out – is how we get that change. Biden harassing pro-life Americans is just another reason – to flip the House and Senate, decisively.
