Your friends in Pennsylvania

As Ohio was celebrating the enshrinement of abortion into their state constitution, Pennsylvaniaโ€™s state legislature went about trying to create their own abortion haven. The difference was at the state house in Harrisburg, their vote flew under the radar and just in time to welcome the Thanksgiving holiday.ย 

On November 15th, the Democrat controlled Pennsylvania State House, passed house bill (HB 1786) 117-86 that would make the Keystone State a safe retreat for those seeking abortions that would be illegal in their native states.

The bill reads that Pennsylvania would have no authority over โ€œany person for any matter in a tribunal outside of this Commonwealth involving the provision or delivery of reproductive health care services, whether medical, surgical, counseling or referral,โ€ unless the โ€œserviceโ€ is also illegal within Pennsylvania. Abortion within the Keystone state is legal up to 24 weeks. Out-of-state expectant mothers now can abort surgically or chemically for the same amount of time without fear of any legal repercussions from their home state while in Pennsylvania.

Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro wasted no time once elected in proving his abortion bona fides when he established a pro-abort webpage and telephone hotline on the taxpayersโ€™ dime.ย In August, he cancelled all state funding for Real Alternatives that ran Pennsylvaniaโ€™s award-winning Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services program that funds pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, and adoption agencies throughout the state. This much needed service has been a model of excellence for the rest of the country for the last three decades. The ripple effects of ending such a program begets standing ovations from Planned Parenthood, the most misnamed organization in the nation, and an increase in abortions across Pennsylvania.

That historic catchphrase from the 1980s: โ€œYou have a friend in Pennsylvaniaโ€ still rings true 40-years hence but with a malicious twist. Your friend is a willing Pennsylvania abortionist. If Democrats have their way, Pennsylvania will be a sanctuary state for abortions.

However, it doesnโ€™t have to be that way.

The bill now advances to the Pennsylvania State Senate that has a 28-22 Republican majority. Pundits believe the bill should die in the senate.ย โ€œShouldโ€ is such an underplayed word filled with overt expectation. As such, the bill is far from a foregone conclusion.ย Seemingly, dismissed is how the bill passed the House by a 117-86 vote, with 17 Republicans, the alleged pro-life party, voting in favor.

The difference in the senate is a mere six.

Of all the columns written over the last two decades, abortion has been the issue that leads all others.

This is by no means a coincidence.

Ever since Roe v. Wade was sent packing to historyโ€™s ash heap, pro-abortion zealots have been on the march. They work overtime by providing pharmaceuticals, interstate travel, legal assistance, and financing political campaigns to enshrine abortion within state constitutions. 

The pro-life cause went from one fight at the Supreme Court to 50 in every state capital. To wit: the vote to enshrine abortion within the Ohio constitution with Virginia Democrats now proposing the same. 

Roeย v. Wade may be dead but donโ€™t underestimate Americaโ€™s penchant for abortion. Roeโ€™s demise did not institute a pro-life America.ย Rather, it has emboldened a post-Christian United States hellbent on doing just the opposite. Abortion is turning America pagan. All reasonable people know itโ€™s a baby and abortion is unconstitutional as it violates a childโ€™s right to life.

The left refuses to address abortion as a moral issue. They believe โ€œchoiceโ€ allows them to compartmentalize their intent from their actions.ย 

Today, believing an unborn child is worth saving makes you a radical, while a 15-week ban makes you a reasonable moderate. Too many politicos run scared fearing that if they defend the most innocent among us, they will lose elections. Perhaps not having a vote for 18-years parlays into the equation. 

A Wall Street Journalย poll showsย 55% support abortion at any time โ€“ for any reason. Such polls demoralize many pro-lifers after nearly half a century of work that sent Roe packing just 17 months ago.

Some inquire as to what they can do: Contact your state senator and tell them to perform their own abortion to this immoral legislation by voting โ€œno.โ€
