The Dems’ death cult

The sacramental or positive good view of abortion lurks in the Democratic orthodoxy regarding “a woman’s right to choose,” but Democrats ambitious for national office have mostly remained content to keep the view implicit and to decry the difficulty of the “choice” in these terms even in the third trimester of pregnancy, as Hillary Clinton did in the third of her debates with candidate Trump in 2016. Candidate Trump effectively drew out the logic of this position.

Ramesh Ponnuru has followed developments closely over the years and has a good summary of where we are now in “The infanticide craze.” Ramesh emphasizes: “The Supreme Court’s abortion jurisprudence has for decades effectively forbidden any state from prohibiting abortion even late in pregnancy.” But “supporters of the country’s expansive abortion regime now fear that the Supreme Court will retreat from it, either by declaring that the Constitution permits states to protect unborn children in general or by letting them offer more protection. That’s why they are pushing legislation in the states to codify that regime. It is an effort that is forcing supporters of abortion to be a little more candid about what they really want…”

The lib/leftist love of abortion is a consequence of the general lib/leftist sentiment that all lives are arbitrary, and if you have to die for the cause, then off to the firing squad/guillotine/scaffold with you.
It's why the communists slaughtered over 100 million people in the twentieth century  "for the cause."
Their lives were worthless except for how they related to the movement. When considered not necessary, their lives could be snuffed out without a second thought.
