Congress Passes The Women's Health Protection Act

 Friday, 24th September, 2021 Congress passed 218-211 along party lines, The Women's Health Protection Act. The lone dissenting Democrat being, Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, not one Republican voted for it. The bill is D.O.A. in the Senate because of the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. So the question is, why bother going through the motions of passing a bill that you already know ahead of time is doomed? Two reasons: One is virtue signaling, because of the recent Supreme Court's denial of a stay in the Texas Heartbeat Law and Mississippi's upcoming case before the Supreme Court, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. (arguments will be heard December 1st of this year) Democrats are back on their heels and are mustering an offense, the first volley being the Women's Health Act. This is a Psy-Op. offensive. Their goal is to plant fear into women's minds across America that the very option of abortion is being taken away from them. They are targeting the women who say, "I personally would not have an abortion, but who am I to impose my morality on other women? That's a decision between the woman and her doctor." You know these women, they are the nice neighbors across the street with signs in their yards. Secondly, the Democrats are throwing down the gauntlet for the midterm elections. What else do they have to run on, the economy, covid, Afghanistan, immigration, foreign affairs? No, they only have one ace in the hole, abortion. They are counting on suburban women to carry the votes in their favor for fear of losing the option of abortion. We see this playing out in Virginia's tight race for governor between Terry McAuliffe and Glenn Youngkin.  McAuliffe following party cues announced that he would be a "brick wall" against any laws restricting abortion, while Youngkin a pro-life candidate seems to be obfuscating his view, clearly afraid of a pro- choice backlash that may be coming. This race will be an interesting bellwether election for the upcoming midterms.

So what is in this law? First of all ,The Women's Health Act , is a euphemism for the most radical pro-abortion law legislated in history. Henry Olsen in an editorial for the Washington Post wrote, (an abortion law) "That goes far beyond what most of the world permits and Americans want." This bill permits abortion from conception up until birth, for any reason, including gender selection. It is a disgraceful attack upon decency, the dignity of what it means to be human and what is left of the moral fabric of our country. We need to stand up against lies of the Left, who are masters of deceit and treachery. Speak out anyway you can, do not remain silent, the truth will prevail in the end.
