I have never understood why abortion is such an uber-holy, sacrosanct, untouchable icon for the political Left. It's the hill they have chosen to die on. I would love to have a conversation with a confirmed abortion advocate about this, but it would have to be honest and rational, and I despair of that possibility. Their most public voices are universally dishonest and disingenuous.
The governor of Minnesota has declared that his state will always defend women's “reproductive rights”. What does that mean? Does overturning Roe prevent women from reproducing if they want to? Does it compel any woman to reproduce if she doesn't want to? Ridiculous notion, but it sounds righteous, and that's really the point, isn't it?
Some link abortion to “reproductive health”. If a woman is pregnant, her reproductive health is in good shape. How will having an abortion improve her “reproductive health”? Another ridiculous notion.
Then there are the signs that say “Abortion is Health Care”. What?! Is a pregnant woman ill, to be cured by having an abortion? All dishonest, all disingenuous, all lies.
They call themselves “pro-choice”, but the issue is not and never has been about choice. It is and always had been a matter of life and death. All human life begins in the womb. No one really disputes that. It's true. Abortion advocates simply believe that some lives ought to end in the womb, and they further believe that they are just the people who are best qualified to decide whose.
Abortion advocates hate it when pro-life folks say that abortion is murder, and who can blame them? No one wants to be associated with murder, especially murder of the defenseless and innocent. But the only way they can distance themselves from that connection is to define the precise moment at which life does begin. In the womb, remember?
But they can't do that. Yet, the burden of proof is still on them. Until they can, the only truth that remains is that abortion is murder.

It's. Just. That. Simple.
