Donald Trump’s Abortion Gambit

The Tenth Amendment has been the most ignored and subrogated amendment of the Constitution since the beginning of the New Deal, mostly under the rubric of a bastardized, ever-expanding interpretation of the Commerce Clause. The Hobbs decision reversing Roe is hopefully the beginning of the pendulum swinging the other way. But the hard core pro-lifers need to recognize that just as the Tenth Amendment does not permit the Supreme Court to distill amorphous, historically dubious rights for the left-wing, at the same time it does not permit the creation of a national statute banning abortion. Lindsey Graham knew better; he gun- decked the GOP for selfish political reasons. While I would like to see the nation eventually pass an amendment [not a statute] banning abortions in all cases except rape, incest and bona fide life of the mother cases, that is probably still a decade away. There is still more persuasion to do. The pro life fight has accomplished a huge win with Hobbs – don’t screw the rest of us who are still anti-communists and don’t want the Marxist Democrats to gain power in the House and Senate and hamstring Trump for 4 years. It took 80 years and a war to end slavery. Be patient and grateful for the progress being made- don’t push away independents who still want an early first trimester availability so that the Democrats just end up in power anyway and we lose on everything.
