In October, in a Town Hall event, Kamala Harris said, “I’ll tell you, there are probably many here and watching who, rightly, have made a decision that they do not believe in abortion. The point that I am making is not about changing their mind about what’s right for them or their family.”
It’s quite a concession to say that those who are pro-life have “rightly” made their decision. No one, including her, would say that those who believe in racial discrimination have “rightly” made that decision. That’s because there is no moral justification for it. But to concede that there is a moral justification to oppose abortion begs the question: What is it that pro-life Americans are objecting to?
Harris knows what’s going on, and so does everyone else. The reason pro-life Americans find they cannot stomach abortion is because it kills the innocent. The real issue is why everyone does not admit the obvious.
