Dobbs ruling advances rights

A common lament following the Supreme Court's decision returning the abortion matter to individual states was that it represented a turning back of the civil rights clock. But some understood it was instead an advancement of constitutionally protected rights — those of babies.

Just as the cessations of slavery and Jim Crow laws meant full citizenship for millions, so too have infants' citizenship now been officially acknowledged.

The Dobbs decision also advanced democratic interests. Pro-abortion partisans will now have to convince voters of their gruesome desires.

Not likely. If they honestly and fully articulate exactly what happens during baby-killing procedures, voters will surely recoil in horror and cast ballots accordingly.

I believe God has a plan. The Trump presidency allowed a glimpse of how things could be good for America. (The Dobbs ruling was partly made possible by his three splendid Supreme Court nominees.)

The subsequent Biden regime, on the other hand, is a reminder of the wretched Obama years. It is a cautionary lesson of the dangers to America of Democrat socialism, including the decadent enthusiasm for infanticide.

A logical and moral next part of the plan might be another Trump presidency and additional high court nominations. To the interests of that ambition, I would devote all energies.
