TRUMP: PERSECUTED CHRISTIAN REFUGEES TO GET PRIORITY TREATMENT INTO USA ROE V WADE---JEALOUS GOD THAT DEMANDS BLOOD, NEGATES NATURAL RIGHTS
 WHEN ROE VS WADE WAS DECIDED BY THE SUPREME COURT IN 1973, American citizens soon discovered it was never intended to be the end of the story. It was just the beginning of our country's willingness to enable behaviors many of them didn't believe in and found reprehensible. Early-term abortion was soon extended to mid-, then late-term abortion which was essentially murder. On top of that, tax payers were supposed to pay for this as well as all woman's contraception products. Then American taxpayers were expected and committed to paying for abortions in foreign countries for heavens sake. Women demanded the 'right' to be enabled without shouldering any of the cost or responsibilities of their actions.

Taxpayers and lawmakers have continued to enable this nonsense and infantalizing of women for decades.

Today the pendulum is thankfully swinging back in the direction of life and personal responsibility as it should have long ago.

While I doubt abortion will ever be outlawed across the board, perhaps now a woman's right to choose can be extended to choosing  more caution and knowing she will have to pay for the outcome if she doesn't get what she wants.

This week, a Tennessee legislator has introduced a heartbeat bill which makes abortion illegal if a fetus has a heartbeat. It would make the window for that procedure smaller than the 24 weeks (six months) now proscribed by law. Abortion on demand in Tennessee used to be a national destination  for anyone in the country who wanted a quickie. Hopefully that is ending soon though many legal challenges will be ahead.
