At one time, the Democratic Party took a seemingly moderate stance on abortion. Many of their politicians, including Hillary Clinton, even endorsed "safe, legal, and rare" as the best approach to what they considered a complicated subject. Those days are long gone. Now, abortion is a sacrament to the Left that is grotesquely celebrated and seen, rather ironically, as a basic human right.
Since the start of his term, President Trump has appointed two right-leaning jurists to the Supreme Court. Both Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh inspire fear among abortion advocates who believe the shift in the court is certain to put Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in danger. As a result, a wave of legislation has rippled through the country. Some states, like New York, have loosened restrictions and now allow the life-ending procedure of abortion at any time. Others, like Alabama, have extended early protections to unborn life by way of a heartbeat bill.
