Spec turns into Kamala Harris

RE: An appalling attack on the rights of women.  Spectator editorial 5 May 22.

Last month, the Spectator couldn’t tell you what a woman was.  They weren’t biologists.  Persons, birthing persons, or people got pregnant, not women.  Menstruating persons.  Men could get pregnant too!  It’s transphobic to believe otherwise!  Now it’s the editors make the transphobic admission that only women can get pregnant.

Last month, it was get the shot or you’re scum.  You have a responsibility to others! You got fired and deserved to be because you wouldn’t put the vaccine in your arm.  This month, it’s “our bodies, ourselves” and bodily autonomy, and “women have a right to their own bodies” etc. 

The about-face on these issues in the wake of the draft decision on Roe v. Wade simply highlights the nihilism in the progressive way of reasoning.  Say anything to win today.  Never mind what was said yesterday; that’s why we have the memory hole.  Burn it down if you can’t control it.

Roe conferred a “constitutional right” to abortion.  Everyone admits Roe was badly reasoned and the U.S. constitution says nothing about abortion.  It was invented out of whole cloth by progressives back in the day.  The prospective decision would end the constitutional nonsense, and return control and regulation of abortion to the States where it constitutionally belongs.  Abortion advocates will have to grub for votes like everybody else in a democracy.  What are they afraid of except that their cause isn’t as popular as they say it is?
