Abortion on demand, even for kids isn't enough for the radical left
A commentary on Washington's HB 2115
Washington democrats have not just legalized abortion, they’ve made it protected healthcare for minor children (of no minimum age), they’ve removed all cost sharing (so either Medicaid pays or your insurance company foots the entirety of the bill), they’re forcing health care facilities to provide abortion or be shut down and they’re even trying to make it difficult for crisis pregnancy centers to offer ultra sound services to expectant mothers.
Just when you think they’ve taken the abortion cause about as far as they can, radical left democrats say, “hold my beer.”
Yesterday, February 9, 2024, Washington state House passed HB 2115 with overwhelming support. Only 15 legislators voted no. Conservative Ladies of Washington opposed this bill and issued many calls to action to engage citizens. When the vote came out, my heart was grieved over the fact that more than half of the Republicans in the house supported this bill.
HB 2115 allows abortion providers to leave their name off the prescription label, only leaving a practitioner number that can be looked up by the pharmacy in an emergency. The bill also states that the provider can omit the name of the drug and the dosage if they choose. The prime sponsor of this bill says it is necessary to protect abortion providers from harassment. Sure, maybe that happens in places like Texas and Idaho, but I can guarantee, abortion providers in Washington are not being harassed. And if they are, why hasn’t this been a top news story by the MSM? In voting yes, the representatives are agreeing that abortion providers are being harassed. It’s not happening.
If that wasn’t bad enough, let me remind you that minor children can get abortions in Washington state without parental consent or notification. They can access abortions during the school day (this is a fact!), they can stay in a shelter to access an abortion, they can even be trafficked from other states and “shielded” from their parents and the rule of law in their home state.
Consider this: You’re the parent of a 13-year-old girl who becomes pregnant “accidentally.” She is scared. The school nurse helps her access a chemical abortion. The provider gives her the pills with a label that has a practitioner number only, no name of the drug or the dosage. She goes home and takes the pills and has extreme bleeding. She calls you, her parent, into the bathroom for help. She’s lying there on the bathroom floor, bleeding profusely. You call 911. Your scared daughter can only provide you with a package that has no information on it, delaying her access to care. The medics will have to figure out who the provider is, then they’ll have to wait to get the information about the drug and dosage. All this delays your young daughter from appropriate care.
This should make your blood boil. Even if you are “pro choice.” This is not “health care.” This is not compassion. This is pure evil and the ones who will be hurt the most are our innocent children.
Women have a right to know exactly what they are being prescribed, how much they are being prescribed and who is prescribing it.
This is not a difficult choice. However, it will become more difficult for people to support “Republicans” who are willing to vote for policies like this, that harm women and young girls, into law.
The radical left is not content with destroying life in the womb, they want to destroy your children out of the womb as well. It is our duty to hold the line and fight for the right to life.
I have considered publically stating, “Who cares if Democrat women abort their children? What's the downside?” However, my guess is it’s not just Democrat women murdering God’s creation. As for the politicians, they will have their day of reckoning. One last question. Do you think the millions of immigrants are coming to America to legally murder their future? I don’t think so.
