It's All About Abortion

“Right is right, even if nobody does it. Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is wrong about it.” - G. K. Chesterton

For years, no for decades, I've maintained that the ideological left can be identified by one overriding issue: abortion. Earlier this week Senator Chuck "Live-Shot" Schumer (D-NY) offered evidence of this when he publicly threatened two Supreme Court justices if they dared to decide cases on the pro-life side. His words:

"I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

Later, after a whirlwind of criticism, and oblivious to what he actually said, the senator stated that he was addressing congressional Republicans, not the justices. Yeah, right! Read your own words, Senator.

Schumer Ranting at the Supreme Court

Schumer, of course, is right in line with his party, which permits no deviation when it comes to abortion. Just look at the lineup of Democrat presidential candidates; that is, the earlier lineup of twenty-plus wannabes. Except when they attacked President Trump because he doesn't support so-called "women's reproductive rights," the entire gaggle of candidates rarely mentioned abortion during their debates, and for good reason. It is one issue on which they all agreed, so why stir the pot? They realized, too, that public support for abortion is dropping. There's no need to remind the voters that every single one of them supports the wholesale slaughter of innocents. 

And did you notice that sign raised high right beside Schumer? "Protecting Abortion Access is a Catholic Value"

It's truly a remarkable statement since Catholic magisterial teaching on abortion has never varied. The Church has consistently labeled abortion an "intrinsic evil." In other words, it is always evil. But the Church's teaching has little effect on the mainstream media "theologians." As one talking head stated, "Many Catholics don't accept the Church's teaching on abortion, so that teaching certainly isn't unanimous." Uh, sorry, but as Pope Benedict XVI reminded us, "The truth is not determined by majority vote." Yes, indeed, the truth is the truth, and the truth is what the Church's magisterium teaches.

My opinion on all this? Abortion is Satan's doing, and those who support it are joining him in this work, some knowingly, most unknowingly. Like the communists, Satan too needs and attracts useful idiots.

If I were Senator Schumer, I'd be worried about a different whirlwind, like the one prophesied by Isaiah:

"For see, the Lord will come in fire, his chariots like the whirlwind; to wreak his anger in burning rage and his rebuke in fiery flames" [Is 66:14]

...another good reason to be pro-life.
