Roe v. Wade was recently overturned by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision.
Abortion activists tried to intimidate the court through threatening Supreme Court justices and protesting at their homes. The Biden administration, predictably, turned a blind eye to these criminal activities while Democrat leaders encouraged them.
Title 18, Section 1507 of the US Code states “Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.”
There is a double standard in our nation. Biden’s administration has weaponized agencies like the DOJ and FBI against conservatives. Activists utilize threats and violence with impunity. The national media selectively covers and omits coverage of illegal actions if they further the leftist narrative.
The majority opinion of the Dobbs case exposed serious issues. First, there is no constitutional right to abortion. Second, the federal government assumed control in matters belonging to the states. Third, the constitutional balance of power between the executive, judicial, and legislative branches is being violated, setting precedents that could lead to a totalitarian state.
Additionally, there are serious issues regarding the preborn, their humanity, and right to life that have not been addressed adequately, including an arbitrary denial of their personhood.
Woke abortion advocates claim it is racist to abolish abortion, because abolition would affect minority women disproportionately. But, what about the disproportionate number of girls, ethnic minorities and disabled children who are dying in this holocaust?
Woke ideologues adopt the Marxian categories of oppressor and oppressed in regard to the woman and abolition of abortion, claiming that abolition would be an act of oppression towards minority women.
But why don’t woke idealogues use the Marxian language of oppression to describe the relationship between the woman and her preborn offspring? Is it not oppressive for a woman to destroy her weaker, preborn offspring in pursuit of her gods of sexual immorality, materialism, convenience and comfort? The glaring inconsistencies of the woke are astounding.
Like the Nazis and their dehumanization of Jews, the pro-abortionists dehumanize the preborn by calling them “clumps of cells” or parasites.
From a materialistic perspective, all of us are clumps of cells at different stages of development. And no preborn child is a parasite. Parasites are a different species than the host.
No, each child is an image-bearer of God and possesses full humanity at conception. Only those without a fear of God would dare participate in their murder.
Sadly, it seems some state legislators (even Republicans) aren’t serious about eliminating abortion, leaving significant exceptions. I encourage Christians to contact legislators to urge them towards abolition. If our legislators don’t share our values, we should consider other candidates in line with biblical values during primaries.
I recommend reading a fantastic, recent book exposing abortion called “Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing” by Alexandra DeSanctis Marr and Ryan T. Anderson. If you prefer, several good videos on Youtube feature these authors.
See the related content section for good videos on this topic. The first two videos address the illegal picketing of Supreme Court judges. Biden’s DOJ refused to address this picketing, meant to intimidate the judges, due to partisan bias. The third video is a presentation by Alexandra DeSanctis Marr on abortion.

If you have evidence that I am wrong about a material statement of fact, provide the evidence and I will gladly review it and make revisions if merited. Obviously, there are some assertions that are matters of opinion that I will not change, but I always strive to be truthful.
I will continue to add videos and other items to the Related Content section as opportunities present themselves.
I recommend these Youtube channels and commentators for good content on politics and news from a Christian and/or conservative worldview: Albert Mohler, Allie Beth Stuckey, Bill O’Reilly, CBN News, Hugh Hewitt, John Anderson Media (Australia), Nick Freitas, Ruthless Podcast (language warning), Scott Jennings, The Hot Zone with Chuck Holton, Vince Dao, and Verdict with Ted Cruz.
For livestreaming of political protests and riots by conservative commentators, check out Nate Friedman, Cam Higby, James Klug, and Nick Shirley. I don’t agree with the perspectives of all these commentators and the language of protesters is often obscene. Most news outlets will not cover these illegal assemblies, though, because it doesn’t promote their narrative.
Depictions of Jesus Christ are used in some illustrations. I realize that some including conservative Presbyterians consider this to be idolatry. I respectfully disagree with their position on this matter as the commandment forbids worshiping such depictions, and I do not worship these illustrations.
