OPINION:
Sarafina Chitika, a spokesperson for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket for the White House, accused Donald Trump of allowing Louisiana women to bleed to death because of his fights involving Roe v. Wade.
This is not simple politicking. Democrats have become so brazenly open with their ugly, lying language that they’re actually making the devil envious.
It’s like that old saying, hell hath no fury like a leftist lady kept from her tax-paid abortion.
Here’s the background: In Louisiana, a new law is poised to take effect reclassifying misoprostol — the abortion pill — as a Schedule IV drug. One consequence of this law is that beginning Oct. 1, hospitals will have to move misoprostol off their nurses’ carts and out of their OB-GYN in-room kits and into the locked dispensary areas where Schedule IV drugs are prescribed. So it’s still available. It’s still readily available. It’s just not an easy-peasy handout at the hospital nursing stations. Come next month, there will be more paperwork involved in prescribing the medicine — more scrutiny of its use.
But this is as it should be because Louisiana legislators, taking their cue from the U.S. Supreme Court’s return of Roe v. Wade to the states to decide abortion matters, passed a law restricting its use for abortion-related purposes. This is called A Lawful Act. This is called lawful. And leftists hate that. The only thing they hate worse than lawful, in fact, is any restriction on their ability to access quick and easy and preferably free-to-me abortions. So you can imagine their outrage when the two are combined.
Out come the daggers.
“Let’s be clear,” Chitika said. “Donald Trump is the reason Louisiana women who are suffering from miscarriages or bleeding out after birth can no longer receive the critical care they would have received before Trump overturned Roe.”
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wasn’t it the Supreme Court justices who “overturned” Roe — which is really to say, turned it over to the states to decide? Yes. Yes, indeed it was. Lies upon lies. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wasn’t it the Louisiana legislators and governor, and not Trump, who actually passed into law a restriction on the use of the abortion drug? Yes. Yes, indeed it was. Truth, schmuth.
”Because of Trump, doctors are scrambling to find solutions to save their parents and are left at the whims of politicians who think they know better,” Chitika continued. “Trump is proud of what he’s done. He brags about it. And if he wins, he will threaten to bring the crisis he created for Louisiana women to all 50 states.”
Breathe, Chitika. Breathe.
The fact is Democrats love abortion so much they lose all sense of logic and rationality whenever there’s a whisper of an abortion restriction. And let’s be real, here. They don’t have a large stock of logic and rationality in the first place; any loss at all results in massive mental calamity.
But on abortion — wow.
“Kamala Harris targets Trump as she rallies for abortion rights,” The Associated Press reported in January.
“Vice-President Kamala Harris tours abortion clinic in historic first,” BBC reported in March.
“How Kamala Harris targeted pro-life pregnancy centers in California,” Catholic News Agency reported just a few days ago. In other words, she didn’t just support a woman’s right to abort — she took it a step further and actively attacked those who offered options to abortion. That’s evil. That’s evil personified. That’s today’s Democrat Party.
“Planned Parenthood offers free abortions, vasectomies at mobile clinic near DNC,” CBS News wrote last month, about the Democrat National Convention in Chicago.
“Planned Parenthood providing free vasectomies and abortion pills during DNC,” The Hill wrote in August.
Evil? Undoubtedly. But then again, there’s also this: This traveling clinic wouldn’t be so welcomed at Republican and conservative events. And It’s not exactly a bad thing to have fewer Democrats in the world.
