Will these Missouri GOP leaders swear to defend abortion rights? We asked..
Yeah, the young people in charge of “journalism” made a beeline to ask Republicans if they would swear their oath of office even though the constitution now says to kill babies on demand based on a rather narrow ballot initiative that was ready to go in the event of the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade.
Gotcha, Republicans! Are you going to not swear into office now?
What a daft piece of work this is. I don’t recollect any such things when legislators passed restrictions for the Democrats whether they would follow the dictates of laws passed by the legislature to restrict abortion when the Supreme Court passed this back to the states. No, all those stories were about how the states were violating Roe vs. Wade. Laws that could be overturned by other laws passed by legislators.
Instead, we get continued ballot initiative abuse, where instead of representative government, we get One Man, One Vote, Once lawmaking via driving turnout in a particular election.
And prepare yourself for the tut-tutting inherent in stories like ‘Voters want restrictions’; State rep from West County wants abortion restrictions back on ballot where an elected official wants to use the system to reverse what the broken system has wrought.
You know, gentle reader, I am only a little cynical, and I don’t get out much, but I bet people with clipboards appeared in various places on Wednesday morning to gather signatures for another Constitutional Amendment to undo this constitutional amendment.
Because in addition to being a moral question and a sacrament of modern liberalism, the abortion question is big business on both sides. And it won’t be solved until it stops being big national business.
Meanwhile, if you will excuse me, I will be over here supporting the local pregnancy resource center that helps pregnant women at risk.
