ANALYSIS
(LifeSiteNews) The rapidly approaching 2022 midterms will be among
the most important elections of our lifetimes, not least of all
because of their massive implications for millions of unborn babies.
Critical state and federal elections in less than two weeks will
determine whether Democrats will finally be able to enact their
radical abortion agenda or whether Republicans will have the votes to
block it and continue advancing pro-life protections, especially at
the state level.
Of greatest importance is control of Congress: If Democrats net just
two more seats in the U.S. Senate and hold onto their narrow majority
in the House, theyll abolish the filibuster and pass their extreme
Womens Health Protection Act (WHPA) with a simple majority vote.
The WHPA, Democrats signature abortion bill, would create a national
right to have or perform an abortion up to viability and even after
viability with broad health exceptions, including for mental health.
The ultra-radical bill would nullify live-saving abortion bans that
have taken effect in more than a dozen states since the reversal of
Roe v. Wade and hundreds of other pro-life laws, including
parental-consent requirements, partial-birth abortion bans, and health
and safety regulations.
The pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute has warned that the WHPA
endangers religious liberties and conscience rights as well. The
provisions of the proposed law would supersede current and future
federal and state law, including the Religious Freedom Restoration
Act, the group has noted.
And it would also mean the end of the Hyde Amendment, which protects
taxpayers from directly funding abortion and saves an estimated 60,000
unborn lives per year:
[ ] unless exempted under the insurance or medical coverage of
abortions provision, the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer
funding of abortion, would be struck down if it was determined to
increase the cost of abortion or limit access to abortions.
Every Democrat in Congress besides Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia
and Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas has voted in favor of the WHPA. Joe
Biden, moreover, has enthusiastically endorsed it and made clear that
killing unborn babies is the singular priority of his administration.
