Trump Says Hold Women Who Have Abortions Accountable — Why he is right!

Steven Ertelt of LifeNews.com wrote an article titled, “The Inept Thing Donald Trump Said About Women Who Have Abortions is Making Pro-Lifers Cringe.” Ertelt wrote:

While pro-life advocates yearn for the day when unborn children are protected under law and abortions are banned, the pro-life movement has historically opposed punishing women who have abortions — instead focusing on holding abortion practitioners criminally accountable for the unborn children they kill in abortions.

But who makes the decision to get pregnant and then decides to abort the unborn baby? Answer: The woman!

The pro-life movement is being politically correct, but does that stop women from getting pregnant and then seeking an abortion? Are they failing to discern an overall pattern from a mass of detail; to see the big picture, or the broader, more general situation. Are pro-lifers, like Ertelt, failing to see the forest for the trees?

This is, forgive the metaphor, a classic chicken and the egg causality dilemma. If you want to protect the egg, you must insure the chicken doesn’t lay the egg until it understands the moral and social importance of the egg.

The only thing that stops a women from getting pregnant are the words: NO, I WON’T!

Alexis de Tocqueville, in his seminal critique of the newly formed United States titled “Democracy in America“, wrote:

“[N]ow that I am drawing to the close of this work, in which I have spoken of so many important things done by the Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply: To the superiority of their women.”

It is therefore incumbent that we, as a society and culture, do everything possible to help women become “superior.” For as de Tocqueville noted over 200 years ago the “singular prosperity and growing strength” of America is due to the “superiority” of our women.

It is a superior woman’s choice to get pregnant.

With the exception of rape, a heinous crime against women which the United Nations has yet to call a hate crime, it is up to women to make the decision on becoming a mother. It is the woman who is the giver of life. It is the woman who carries the burden and joy of pregnancy. It is the woman who raises her child or children to become good adults and follow her example.

Women who make the right choices should be emulated and rewarded. Those who make bad choices should neither be subsidized nor imitated.

A superior woman is a strong woman, a moral woman and a prosperous woman. A weak woman does not make the right decision when it comes to life choices, the most important being to bear a child. It is the weak woman who is historically poor, dependent on government and who ultimately decides to murder her mistake.

For decades the pro-choice movement has made a women’s right to murder her unborn baby their mantra. They demand that government stay out of their wombs but want government to pay for their abortions. An oxymoron, which gives government approval to literally enter their wombs.

If the pro-choicers are correct, then who must make the final pregnancy decision? Answer: The one with a womb.

Defunding Planned Parenthood and closing abortion clinics does not solve the fundamental issue of women having babies and then deciding to kill them. What must change is how women view their role as a woman. Quite simply its how women look at having sex and one of the outcomes of doing so, getting pregnant.

Efforts to provide education, public funding for contraception devices, government counseling services and pro-life protests have all failed to address the most important part of the equation – the Woman!

Perhaps it is now time to break this politically correct mantra of not holding the woman, and men, responsible. “It takes two to tango!” Men have an equal, if not greater, responsibility should their wife, girlfriend or significant other become pregnant.

I believe Donald Trump has it right. This issue is not about placing blame, rather it is all about personal responsibility.

What must be ultimately restored is nothing less than the “superiority of the American woman”.
