Inept Democrat leadership is threatening America
By Robert Turner
Democrat senators in the decades following the passage of Roe v. Wade had sufficient numbers on multiple occasions to have passed legislation legalizing limited abortion. Due to the very real potential, however, that a vote to legalize what many of their constituents would consider murder of the unborn could alienate hundreds of thousands of voters in their various states, thereby threatening re-election, they never acted. Fortunately for our beleaguered senators, the left-leaning Supreme Court greatly reduced the need for such action through discovery of a heretofore unknown right to abortion in the U.S. Constitution. There was no need, therefore, for the Senate to seriously consider such legislation.
This "dereliction of duty" by Democrat senators has not gone unnoticed by the pro-choice fanatics. Democrat dependence on the Supreme Court to legislate in areas in which the Legislative Branch feared to tread created today's difficult situation for Democrats. Their inaction accepted the risk that should there ever be an originalist majority on the Supreme Court, the "right" discovered by one court could be denied by another. As a result, the pro-abortion lobby is angry not only with the Court's originalist justices, but with the Democrat party that neglected passing legislation to safeguard access to abortion.
It is in this context that Vice President Harris was recently asked if Democrats failed by not codifying Roe v. Wade over the past five decades. Her answer — vintage Harris — was as follows:
I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.more
