Is this episode of Life Matters Brian interviews National Right to Life President, Carol Tobias. They discuss in depth the dramatic change to the culture of Washington D.C. in the agenda of the Biden/Harris administration.
President Biden has made a commitment to undo all of the pro-life gains won by President Donald Trump. But in addition to that, Biden intends to go much further. Up until his decision to run for president, Senator Joe Biden had supported the Hyde amendment which prohibits federal funds from being used for abortion or to promote abortion.
Biden’s dramatic decision to flip-flop on this final pro-life issue, places him firmly in the camp of radical abortion advocates. He now supports unlimited advocacy and funding for all abortions.
In addition, the famous Mexico City policy, a policy of the Ronald Reagan era, has now been rescinded by the Biden administration. It is critical to note that the Mexico City policy which deals with the international funding of abortion and his promotion through various UN and other outlets, prohibited organizations from forcing abortion ideology onto various countries around the world. These countries, formerly referred to as “third world,” are often blackmailed into both accepting abortion into their laws and culture, but also funding agencies which promote abortion throughout their population.
“Population control” advocates use abortion as one more form of birth control and are more than willing to use the power of the United States government and the United Nations and multiple billions of dollars in leverage, to force nations to go against their traditional values and religious sentiments if they are to except other foreign aid. This is a form of abortion colonialism.
Carol speaks at length about other issues that could bring great change should they be adopted. The possibility of court packing, i.e. appointing a number of new pro-abortion justices, creating new states out of the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico - each of these acts would give the Democrat party two new United States senators cementing abortion policy into federal law for decades to come.
Carol also discusses the resurrection of the long dead issue, Equal Rights amendment. Constitutionally speaking, the attempt to amend the constitution with ERA failed in the 70s and a second attempt to revive it in the 80s came to nought. (Brian discusses this in much greater detail in his upcoming interview with Douglas Johnson).
Pro-life advocates will need to be particularly attentive to action items that impact the federal government contacting their representatives in raising their voice as the new radically pro-abortion Biden administration seeks to implement itself on our nation. It is our job to raise our voices on behalf of those that cannot speak for themselves
