Democrats claim to care about maintaining “democratic norms.”
But in reality, they’re dismantling norms with radical proposals like packing the Supreme Court.
And the recent Supreme Court leak triggered The Washington Post to write one article that will leave you in stunned silence.
For the first time in the Supreme Court’s history, someone inside the Court leaked a draft of an opinion well in advance of the Court issuing a ruling.
The leaked draft opinion, which was written by conservative Justice Samuel Alito, appeared to overturn Roe V. Wade.
The leaker, presumably a left-wing clerk, wanted to create a furor among the Left, and that’s precisely what happened.
Unhinged protesters have gathered outside the homes of conservative justices for weeks, and one even tried to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
And leftist journalists have written one pro-abortion “think piece” after another, but The Washington Post took the cake, writing such an over-the-top defense of abortion that it ironically turned into a pro-life piece.
The Post’s Caroline Kitchener penned the piece detailing the life of 18-year-old Brooke Alexander, who did not get an abortion because of a recent law passed in Texas.
The teen ended up having twins, and The Post tried to report this as a harrowing, life-crushing development.
“Sometimes Brooke imagined her life if she hadn’t gotten pregnant, and if Texas hadn’t banned abortion just days after she decided that she wanted one,” Kitchener wrote for The Washington Post. “She would have been in school, rushing from class to her shift at Texas Roadhouse, eyes on a real estate license that would finally get her out of Corpus Christi.”
“She pictured an apartment in Austin and enough money for a trip to Hawaii, where she would swim with dolphins in water so clear she could see her toes,” she continued.
This sums up the materialist feminist view.
Instead of having kids, get a real estate license and an apartment, and perhaps take a trip to Hawaii one day.
Of course, The Post presents those modest goals as unattainable now that Brooke has twins, which is preposterous.
Kitchener also tried to demonize crisis pregnancy centers for “tricking” women into not killing their babies.
“As the ultrasound technician pressed the probe into her stomach, slathered with gel, Brooke willed the screen to show a fetus without a heartbeat,” Kitchener wrote. “The technician gasped. It was twins. And they were 12 weeks along. ‘Are you sure?’ Brooke said. ‘Oh, my God, oh, my God,’ [Brooke’s mother] recalled saying as she jumped up and down. ‘This is a miracle from the Lord. We are having these babies.’”
Again, leftists believe this development is a bad thing.
The piece also delivered the nail in the coffin to the pro-abortion argument.
“[Brooke] couldn’t stop staring at the pulsing yellow line on the ultrasound screen,” the piece continued. “She wondered: If her babies had heartbeats, as these women said they did, was aborting them murder? Eventually, [the case worker] turned to Brooke and asked whether she’d be keeping them. Brooke heard herself saying ‘yes.’”
Leftists desperately try to avoid pondering this question, but there was no getting around it.
The entire piece is an unintentional nod to the pro-life movement.
But Democrats are so ensconced in their ideology, they cannot see the cracks in their argument.
