Abortion and the Progressive Agenda

With Roe v. Wade likely to be overturned, progressive leaders in the Democratic Party have doubled down on their efforts to insert abortion rights into the Constitution.

Why would Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer call for a vote that would almost certainly fail, especially when most Americans do not support abortions that occur in late pregnancy? Abortion rights galvanize the progressive base, and perhaps Schumer, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and others hope it could mitigate their losses in the midterm elections.

Or is it because abortion provides so crucial a role in the long-term plans of the progressive agenda that it must not only be protected but even expanded, whatever the cost?

Like the Soviet Union, merely legalized abortion while others, like communist China, embraced abortion as a means to curb overpopulation.

Abortion must be legalized up to the date of the child's birth, and access to surgical and medical forms of abortion such as morning after pills must be available, too.

Per Bernie Sanders, whose support for socialism and abortion could not be more solid, the Senate must not only enshrine abortion rights but dismantle the filibuster to ensure they pass as soon as possible.

These undercurrents have brought together socialism and abortion ever since the founding of Planned Parenthood, but the arguments are so callous that few politicians or government planners describe abortion in the same terms Yellen used in her exchange with Scott.
