Pro-abortion-to-the-core President Joe Biden will occupy the White House until January 20, 2025, 18 more days for a man whose Catholicism (that should be in air quotes) never got in the way of a relentless campaign to multiply the number of dead unborn babies. Can we hope a man who is marring almost daily what remains of his “legacy” will contain himself these last two and a half weeks?
While he did appoint just one Supreme Court Justice—pro-abortion Ketanji Brown Jackson—Biden has now exceeded the total number of appointments to the federal judiciary made by President-elect Donald Trump in his first term.
What other anti-life initiatives did Biden unloosen during their tenure? Did he unleash the dogs of war against people and institutions that wanted no part of being complicit in abortion? Is water wet?
Did he find ingenious ways of corrupting even policies intended to assist the poor and the indigent, with the objective of turning every hospital in the United States into an abortion ward? Is the sky blue?
On the few days he wasn’t on vacation, did Biden energetically promote the dangerous abortion pill? Of course, but what is a caddie for the Planned Parenthoods of this world expected to do? Worry about women? Pfff.
And the never-enough-abortions crowd still has hopes that Biden will ring out his four awful years in office by making it possible to yet again increase the number of dead preborn babies.
One other thought. Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter outraged even his chorus of cheerleaders in the media. Worse, a story in Politico says that he may issue preemptive pardons. [Ed. Note. Of course he will.]
Worse yet, as Jonathan Martin writes,
White House officials, however, are carefully weighing the extraordinary step of handing out blanket pardons to those who’ve committed no crimes, both because it could suggest impropriety, only fueling Trump’s criticisms, and because those offered preemptive pardons may reject them. [Underlining added.]
The Washington Examiner’s Byron York wrote a column headlined, “The damage Biden has done”. Most of the damage was done to the Democrat party. York writes,” What does it mean?”
The simplest explanation is that Biden and his fellow Democrats made the party so unattractive that millions of self-identified Democrats decided to call themselves independents instead. That doesn’t mean they won’t call themselves Democrats again in the future. But it does suggest that they were deeply unhappy with the Democratic Party in 2024.
As The Party of Death—as Ramesh Ponnuru described them in his invaluable 2006 book—Democrats naturally expanded their killing zone to include everyone from embryos to babies who survive an abortion.
Their utter disarray could not have come a moment too soon or to a more deserving political party.
