On Wednesday I had the day off. I took it off because I had a bunch of things I needed to do with my vehicles, and my wife was unable to do it all on her own. In between dropping vehicles off, and picking them up, I watched C-Span. The U.S. Senate was arguing over Voter ID laws, and as expected, the democrats were calling the laws designed to minimize voter fraud racist and against the civil rights of minority voters. The argument is full of holes, and designed to get people's blood boiling over a racial divide being created by the democrats.
The other C-Span channel gave me a view into the debates of the House of Representatives, and the arguments were over a bill that was supposed to be voted on Thursday that would enable the federal government to ban any abortion made based on the gender of the child. Of course, the Republicans were in favor of the bill, and the Democrats were opposed. The arguments by the Democrats were tired, and full of crap. Their "War on Women" term was used by nearly every Democrat to take the microphone. The liberal leftists called the bill sexist, racist, and draconian. The Republicans defended the bill quite well, and used terminology I expected that argued that not only is abortion murder, but we have a problem with women getting abortions based on the gender of their child, which not only makes it a war on women before they are even born, but puts us in the same category as China and India regarding gender-driven abortions.
The whole debate was how the federal government should protect a woman's right to kill the baby inside her, or the federal government should protect the life of the baby that has yet to be born.
But what about the Constitution?
Though the Constitution got mentioned a couple times, and in a manner totally out of the context of the document, nobody stopped to consider whether or not the federal government has the authority over this issue, one way or the other. However, if one consults the Constitution, we realize that no place in that document is the express authority over any medical procedure, including abortion, given to the federal government. Therefore, abortion is a State issue, and if a law like this needs to emerge, it should at the State level.
Understanding the reality that abortion is a State issue means that all federal abortion laws, all federal abortion funding, and the Roe v. Wade court case itself, are all unconstitutional.
Not a single politician on C-Span made that realization, or voiced that opinion.
Additionally, I found it fascinating that the vast majority of the Democrats defending abortion were black. Planned Parenthood, created by Margaret Sanger as an institution that would promote and perform abortions, was specifically created for the sake of using abortion and contraception to kill out the "undesirable" black race. So, the black democrats arguing in favor of abortion and Planned Parenthood are arguing in favor of what was originally designed to be genocide against the blacks by the Liberal Left.
Getting back to Wednesday's debate, we ask what is wrong with Washington. When not a single one of those knuckleheads in this debate refers to the Constitution's lack of federal authority on the issue, I would say that just about everything is wrong with Washington. The establishment has completely lost touch with the Constitution.
