January 22nd marked the 51st anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling about abortion. In a statement from the White House, President Biden marked the occasion as something he wants the American people to feel more celebratory about, even after the Supreme Court finally shut it down in 2022 via the Dobbs decision.
“Fifty-one years ago today, the Supreme Court recognized a woman’s constitutional right to make deeply personal decisions with her doctor—free from the interference of politicians. Then, a year and a half ago, the Court made the extreme decision to overturn Roe and take away a constitutional right. As a result, tens of millions of women now live in states with extreme and dangerous abortion bans…In states across the country, women are being turned away from emergency rooms, forced to go to court to seek permission for the medical attention they need, and made to travel hundreds of miles for health care.”
His mission to trash the conservative platform didn’t just end with this statement. Instead, he kept droning on about claiming that women were being deprived of their “rights.”
“Even as Americans—from Ohio to Kentucky to Michigan to Kansas to California—have resoundingly rejected attempts to limit reproductive freedom, Republican elected officials continue to push for a national ban and devastating new restrictions across the country. On this day and every day, Vice President Harris and I are fighting to protect women’s reproductive freedom against Republicans officials’ dangerous, extreme, and out-of-touch agenda. We stand with the vast majority of Americans who support a woman’s right to choose, and continue to call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe in federal law once and for all.”
What he conveniently overlooks is that there is no Constitutional amendment or ruling that grants women the right to an abortion. There is nothing on the books requiring doctors to perform them or that even deems them a medical necessity, minus a few “one-in-a-trillion” types of cases.
Nevertheless, the Biden administration has attacked the topic of abortion with two smoking barrels since he took office. From executive orders to the gift of giving non-elected officials a platform to spew their opinions on the issue as if they were medical facts, he has been the most pro-choice President to date. Along with VP Harris, the duo has waged a war on the pro-life movement from all sides. In their opinions and liberal “fact” gathering efforts, abortions are something all women should be able to have as easily as getting a bottle of NyQuil for a cold.
On the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, Trump and MAGA Republicans continue to push for a national abortion ban.
It’s dangerous, extreme, and out of touch.

What these Godless heathens fail to see is that not only is abortion a mortal sin, but it is also, on its basis, an illegal action. As almost all residents of the US can agree, killing someone is illegal and should not be tolerated. While liberals love to jump on the debate about when life begins, it is simple; life begins at conception. These tiny cells would not be reproducing and spreading at such an astronomical rate if there was no life. Women wouldn’t be feeling the sensations and changes inside their bodies without life.
The women who go through abortions, have something in common with people who had parents who allowed them to transition genders as a teen, deep regret for their decisions. By keeping abortion away from being a “right” we ensure it is only occurring as a medical necessity. Not simply being used as birth control, or a way to avoid responsibility for their actions or lack of action to prevent this from occurring.
In many pockets of America, this has become a hotly contested issue, with many taking the easy wrong of being pro-choice. While it certainly is easy to say “It’s like owning a gun, if you don’t want one, don’t buy one,” it’s not so easy when these decisions impact you directly. As a man, if these abortion “rights” exist, then we are fundamentally stripped of our right to have something to say about this decision. If we are paying when they are keeping the child, then we need to have the ability to say something about keeping our child alive Godd*mn it!!
