The Party of Death

Yesterday, on the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Hilary Rodham Clinton locked in her nomination as the party's presidential candidate.

But this is not your grandparents' Democratic Party. Over the last several years, the Democrats have been driven further and further left into the realm of radicalism. Clinton herself was steadily pushed in the direction of Marx and Alinsky by Bernie Sanders who same so close to dethroning her during the Democratic primary.

This transition can be seen most clearly in the DNC's position on abortion.

The Hyde Amendment has been around since 1976, just three years after Roe v Wade. It restricts taxpayer dollars from funding abortions (of course Planned Parenthood still gets half a billion in federal funding every year because the biggest provider of abortions in the US claims none of the money goes to abortions).

As far as restrictions on abortion go, the Hyde Amendment is pretty popular. 62% of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortions according to a Knights of Columbus-Marist poll cited in the Washington Post. Even better, 45% of those who identified as pro-choice agreed.

But that didn't stop the DNC from stating unequivocally in their Platform that in addition to keeping the Republicans from defunding Planned Parenthood, they plan on repealing the Hyde Amendment.

The real history-making of the DNC was not nominating the first female presidential candidate of a major party. Instead, this DNC will be remembered as the first time getting rid of the Hyde Amendment made it into a party's platform.

Of course such radicalism should come as no surprise. Clinton is the biggest abortion-crusader since Margaret Sanger. Her first speech as presumptive Democratic nominee took place in front of a Planned Parenthood building. She made it clear that "reproductive justice" i.e. abortion, is an integral part of her position on domestic politics.

There is an incestuous relationship between the Democratic Party and the abortion industry. At one point on the first night of the Convention, Planned Parenthood CEO could be seen standing right next to Bill Clinton. Richards, the Merchant of Death herself (that Tweet got her to block our account), gave one of the most loudly applauded speeches of the second night of the DNC. Her remarks were thankfully short - I have not heard something so incoherent in a long time, even at the DNC. Nevertheless, her main point was clear: Hilary Clinton is an ally to Planned Parenthood. Instead of "I'm with her," it was "She's with us."

This means that under a Clinton administration, we shouldn't expect any federal investigations into Planned Parenthood, no matter what they are accused of doing (or proven to be). If Queen Clinton can get away with extreme and criminal negligence in the handling of classified emails, why should we expect anything less for Planned Parenthood? It's hard to exaggerate here with all of the crimes Planned Parenthood has committed, but it is fair to say that Cecile Richards could murder someone (outside of the womb) live on national television and still get away with it.

For the Democratic party, abortion is not some kind of regretful necessity. The party sees the ability to murder your child as an unalienable right. Abortion pays the salaries of some and gets votes for the rest. The problem with the Democratic Party is that it has gone from caring about people to caring only about votes. And money.

If they cared about women's health, they would institute basic surgical standards in abortion clinics instead of self-righteously toppling a Texas law that would have protected countless women. If they cared about minorities, they would pay attention to the fact that minorities are disproportionately targeted for abortion, independent of other factors. That goes back to the racist and eugenicist Margaret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood. 

There are some pro-life Democrats, but they have become the silenced minority. The officials of the party have become unforgivably corrupt and unabashedly pro-abortion. By actively promoting the greatest genocide of our generation, the Democratic Party has become the Party of Death.

If you are considering voting Democrat this November, I would ask you to carefully examine your conscience and the positions of the candidates on the most important issue of our time: abortion. Hilary is a rabid abortion promoter and the sad reality of the fact is that most Democratic candidates are the same.

The base of the Democratic Party, the people, have a moral prerogative. They can either abandon their sinking ship, sinking under the weight of innocent souls, or reform their party from the inside-out. There is a lot of pruning to be done. Political hacks like Elizabeth Warren - who spoke with such exasperation about those who oppose a "woman's right to choose" during the DNC - need to go. The corruption must be rooted out.

Bernie Sanders often spoke of a "political revolution" that he was ostensibly leading. But the real revolution must dethrone pro-abortion politicians and radicals within the Democratic Party.

If not, a vote for a Democrat is a vote for abortion, a vote for murder, a vote for death.
