Op-ed:
A Heartbeat and a Ruling...Planned
Parenthood Ain't Happy at All

“Every individual who becomes
pregnant has the fundamental right to choose to carry a pregnancy to
term, give birth to a child, or to have an abortion.”
- Words within Vermont's House Bill H.57
Never did I think that I would be writing
another article on abortion yet alone doing so this soon after my two
most recent abortion articles
Remove
Northam...But Not For A 35-Year Old Photo and
New
York's Descent Into Hell.
But
it seems abortion is a subject that will not go away, and rightfully
so, as abortion has now sadly crossed the line into coldblooded,
pre-meditated, and ever so calculated murder of the most helpless
amongst us.
Yes
murder...and in the state of Vermont it appears to now be outright
state sanctioned murder as their newly passed abortion bill clearly
states that any interference by “the
state, by law enforcement agencies, or by a
public
entity” to
try and stop a women from attempting to “procure
or induce”
an abortion is “illegal.”
Now
expanding Vermont's already existing abortion rights this new
bill...H.57...pales
even in comparison to New York's and Virginia's abortion bills.
Passed last Thursday in Vermont's House...by a vote of 106 to
36...with a Senate vote most likely to pass as Democrats hold a super-majority in Vermont's Senate...the 'Green Mountain State' will
now allow abortion to take place at any and all stages of pregnancy
and for any and all reasons whatsoever...even giving what amounts to
blanket permission for “post-viability”
abortion...infanticide if you will. And this bill also gives minors
the right to have an abortion with no...I repeat no...parental
consent needed.
Basically for Vermont's minors it's abortion as a means of contraception...what
has our beloved America come to?
And
not to be overlooked is the fact that H.57
also
contains a provision which actually “dehumanizes”
unborn
children. Stating that, “A
fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus shall not have independent rights
under Vermont law,”
this abomination of a bill strips unborn children of any rights or
recognition of their “personhood.”
So if it's not a "person" that is murdered by the very act of being aborted then what the hell
is it that's being discarded like yesterday's trash?
And Vermont Gov. Phil Scott...a Democrat of course...is already
salivating over his upcoming signing of this bill.
So while Vermont's Republican House members did try hard to at least
amend and temper down this monstrosity of a bill...including their
wanting a key amendment that would require a woman to receive an
ultrasound before aborting their baby in addition to the aforementioned
parental consent for minors...their demands of course fell on deaf
ears. And why...because Democrats as a whole... both in Vermont and apparently nationwide...now see abortion...now see infanticide...as a
no questions asked no answers needed
fundamental
right afforded women under Roe
v. Wade...instead
of what more times than not is a last ditch choice made out of
desperation, fear, and hopelessness, coupled with a resounding sense
of guilt.
But even guilt cannot alter
the facts that as of today, according to recent polls, a full
fifty-five percent of Americans consider themselves unabashedly
pro-choice, while just 38 percent consider themselves fully
pro-life...with the rest making up the remaining seven percent who
fall somewhere in between. And I personally seem to fall within that
seven percent as I do support abortion in incidents of rape, incest,
when the life of the mother is in immediate jeopardy, and when a baby
is so medically compromised that it has zero chance of survival
outside the womb, yet at the same time I do support the “Heartbeat Law”...a law where
once a heartbeat is detected via a vaginal ultrasound...and hopefully
except in those four aforementioned cases...abortion would become a
no-no.
And why do I support the wanting of a “Heartbeat Law”... a
law some on the left claim was solely “designed” to
give the Supreme Court an opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade which
it was not...because the true scientific fact is that without a beating
heart a human being is not “alive” per
se (I do not believe that life begins at conception)... and if one is
not “alive” one
is not conscious of nor does one feel pain. But once the heart
starts beating we enter another whelm completely and with the human
heart starting to beat between day's 18 to 21 after conception so
does it become a human being. And while some women don't know they're
pregnant that early on they do know when they've missed a period or
two, and at that point a heartbeat is well established…no abortion
for you...except...and again I hope...in the four stated cases.
A
“Heartbeat Law” plus
specifically laid out “exceptions”
seems like a fair compromise to me, and states like North Dakota (the
first to enact such a law back in 2012), Arkansas, Ohio, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi, not only have such a law in place
but also ban abortions in full at 20 weeks gestation and
later...basically when a fetus becomes “viable”...as
in it can live independently of its mother.
And both Alabama and West Virginia
also entered into the abortion fray when their states respective
voters approved ballot measures that amended both their state's
constitutions in ways that do not, at this time, change abortion
rights in their states but could play a role if by some chance Roe v.
Wade were to be overturned...which by the way it won't be as
precedence has already been set. In Alabama, for example,
the ballot measure gave the unborn protective
“legal rights,”
while in West Virginia, their state constitution was amended to
stress these simple yet direct words,
"nothing in this
constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the
funding of abortion."
And right now 14 other states are
considering implementing a “Heartbeat Law”
including my state of Florida where there is a bill...HB 235...currently being
introduced into our state legislature. And while Florida law
currently prohibits third trimester abortions except in cases of
medical necessity, this bill, actually two bills combined into one,
aims to not only ban women from getting an abortion after a fetus'
heartbeat is detected, but does not allow exceptions for rape or
incest. And if the "Heartbeat Law" is passed any violation of said law would render the
woman who had an abortion and the doctor who preformed the abortion a
third-degree felon.
So while I do understand the
emotions at play behind the “Heartbeat Law,” and
know I am in support of said law, my support, unfortunately, comes
with a caveat for I unequivocally believe that exceptions must be
made in regards to rape and incest...especially when it concerns gang
rape. No woman should be forced to carry to term a baby conceived in
such a vile and violently forced way... and I for one will vote against
such a law without those exceptions in place if it ever had to be
voted on by we Floridians.
But I don't believe such a
“Heartbeat Law”
as the one Florida is proposing...a bill without any exceptions at
all...will ever come to fruition as Florida's Supreme Court, even
while leaning conservative, would first have to wait for precedence to
be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court...precedence set in
Roe v. Wade (and in
other cases) that states cannot impose an "undue
burden" on a woman seeking
an abortion before fetal viability is reached which usually happens
between 24 and 26 weeks gestation.
And while Democrats will continue
on in their efforts to shove their extremist views on the
entirety of reproductive rights down America's collective throat,
overturning precedence... which in the past has been done in certain
key instances...I believe in the particular case of abortion will not
be done as to do so would only serve to delegitimize the Supreme
Court itself which is something I highly doubt the justices would be
willing to do. Hence, abortion will remain an option but with
adjustments to current laws made by some states...the
“Heartbeat Law” being just one such adjustment.
And yet another key adjustment regarding abortion was made just
last Friday when, thanks to President Trump and his administration, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced
what has come to be know as the Protect
Life
final ruling...a ruling which will now partially defund the abortion
mill known as Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. How
so...via its new requirements that federal “TitleX”
family planning funds cannot go to abortion facilities, while also
denying “Title
X”
locations from giving abortion referrals.
In
fact, the new ruling...done to ensure both transparency and the legal and
ethical use of taxpayer funds...also states that a
"financial physical separation" between
facilities and programs where abortion is a method of family planning
must be in place, while also eliminating the current requirement that,
“Title X providers offer abortion counseling and referral.”
Simply,
Planned Parenthood abortions will no longer be financed by our taxpayer dollars being
funneled through “Title
X”...and that is a very good thing indeed.
But what exactly is “Title
X”
some might ask...created in 1970, “Title
X” is
basically a federal family planning grant program...a program to the
tune of $286.5 million...whose sole purpose is to provide individuals
with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health
services with its funding arm ensuring that each and every person no matter
where they live, their background, their income, or whether or not
they have health insurance has access to basic, preventive
reproductive health care.
Translation: government interference in all aspects of
procreation...before, during, and after sex.
And
know that Planned Parenthood is hopping mad what with it being our
country's largest provider of abortions and with
its having about 41 percent of all
“Title X” patients,
mostly low-income women or so they claim. Now fearing the loss of a
good chunk of the $60 million they already receive from said
“Title X” program, Planned Parenthood is not happy with the
fact that while the new ruling would not reduce the overall amount of
federal funds spent on family planning itself, it will redirect
monies to
“Title X” centers that do not promote or perform
abortions thus taking needed funding away from them and giving it to
(gasp) faith-based groups instead.
Killing unborn children costs Planned Parenthood a lot of money
you know.
So where do we stand now that a final ruling is in place?
First, while in place the new rules are not yet official as they
still need to be published in the Federal Register and get through
the 60-day waiting period to go into effect. Second, so-called
reproductive rights advocates fully expect lawsuits challenging the
rule to be filed way before the ruling goes into effect. In fact,
Planned Parenthood's Deputy Director of Public Policy Litigation and
Law Carrie Flaxman said that the organization is already reviewing
their legal options in regards to fighting this new ruling and is
“committed to fighting it.”
And the ACLU, as expected, is already sticking their nose into the
mix with ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project Senior Staff Attorney Ruth
Harlow, saying in a statement that,
"Nobody should be denied
access to reproductive health care or receive inadequate care because
of their lack of income," and that the ACLU is also
currently reviewing the legal options and are, like Planned
Parenthood, committed to fighting back.
And lastly comes the playing of the Trump is a racist game which
has already begun what with the National Hispanic Medical Association
Chairwoman of the Board of Directors Judith Flores, MD, already
throwing down the
“race card” by saying that,
“As
physicians we cannot silently standby and allow the Trump
Administration to increase healthcare disparities."
Honestly, I see no disparities at all as
“Title X” is
open to anyone no matter their race, color, income, or creed proving
that the
“race card” is getting both tiring and old for
it's not President Trump's fault that Americans who value the sanctity of human life are tired
of the killing of our unborn. I know I am...how about you?

In fact, on August 3rd, the NYPD released its latest crime figures, which shows there was a 177% increase in the city's “year-over-year”
number of shooting incidents...shootings as opposed to actual
murders...with July alone seeing 244 shootings as compared to July
2019's 88 shootings. And the yearly number of shootings also increased
by 72% in the year-to-date, with NYC seeing 450 shootings by the end of
July 2019 compared to 772 by this past July's end...and the year isn't
even over yet. 
And
then there's Seattle, a west coast city that has taken their hatred of
the police to the next level by not only speaking about defunding the
police, but who have actually worked out a plan where defunding actually
turns into disbanding. And they plan to do so by slashing what remains
of this year's police budget to such a degree that the police will
become monetarily powerless to do their jobs. And they're doing this in
an ever so sneaky way by turning the proposed police budget cuts into
legislation that the Democrat controlled City Council can vote on...and
we already know how that vote will go...now don't we.
And
the ones who are to blame for this entire mess are the liberal Democrats, as they see the still
ongoing anarchy and insurrection as their last chance to turn the
November election in their favor, after all impeachment didn't work, the
Chinese virus hasn't worked so far, so in the Democrats eyes maybe their deliberately
orchestrated and still unchecked violence will. But thankfully, in the
end it also won't work as rising crime numbers, ever increasing
violence, and escalating kill numbers are igniting a fire within the hearts of law abiding
Americans from across both racial and political lines. 
So while I do understand the
emotions at play behind the “Heartbeat Law,” and
know I am in support of said law, my support, unfortunately, comes
with a caveat for I unequivocally believe that exceptions must be
made in regards to rape and incest...especially when it concerns gang
rape. No woman should be forced to carry to term a baby conceived in
such a vile and violently forced way... and I for one will vote against
such a law without those exceptions in place if it ever had to be
voted on by we Floridians.

“The American people don’t want the government shut down, and they
don’t want ObamaCare,” Majority Leader John Boehner said to applause and cheers... something he has NOT heard in a long time. “The House has
listened to the American people. Now it’s time for the United States
Senate to listen to them as well.”
And if Obama and Congress can't agree on stop-gap
funding, most, though not all, government operations would come to a
halt in less than two weeks. But a shutdown of the government is really
NOT something to fear or even really be concerned about…incendiary
rhetoric by the Democrats aside…for all it means is that while essential
government programs like air traffic control, Social Security,
Medicare, and mail delivery would continue as is, national parks and
museums would be closed, and federal agency operations would slow down
or stop. The White House and Congress would continue to operate
as well…and that is something I surely wish would shut down…and I mean
that in all seriousness…for this Congress is made up for the most part of gutless cowards who are afraid to do the 'people’s business’ for fear of the
race card being used against them if they dare step out of line and step on
Obama’s toes.
