Baldwin's Abortion Bill -- Cynical Distraction


Wisconsin’s junior US Senator Tammy Baldwin has submitted the “Women’s Health Protection Act”, which would permit the federal government to override any state law which inhibits a woman’s access to an abortion. Liberal supporters will contend that her legislation will preempted South Carolina US Senator Lindsey Graham’s legislation to prevent abortions after twenty weeks.

 Baldwin’s bill is a bald violation of the Tenth Amendment, which guarantees to the states and the people the primary responsibility for protecting individual rights not explicitly enumerated in the United States Constitution.

Her expansive views on abortion clash with the majority of women, who believe that the procedure should be safe, legal, and rare, yet the invasive surgery should not occur twenty week after conception, unless the life of the mother is endangered.

Furthermore, her measure to protect women’s rights has enabled her to wave the “War on Women” flag, which is nothing more than a cynical, subtle attempt to distract the country from the current and rising failures of the Democratic President and his beleaguered liberal colleagues in Congress.

If Senator Baldwin really wants to protect women’s health, along with promoting the rights of Americans to choose, she should vote to repeal the cumbersome, disastrous, and irreversibly corrupted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as “Obamacare”. Specifically, she should cosponsor senior US Senator Ron Johnson’s reforms, submitted in response to the careless rollout of the federal website and massive cancellation of current insurance plans, which have left millions of potential patients unprotected.
