Content: Williamson has bent over backwards to make it clear that she is “100% pro-choice,” and Yang’s campaign platform says, “Access to safe and affordable abortion services should also be provided to all Americans.” Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) has been less overt about his support for abortion, and Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) has not explicitly supported late-term abortion. But Hickenlooper has never attempted to distance himself from his party’s radical platform. He is an open supporter of abortion and of Planned Parenthood and in 2018, Inslee signed a bill forcing all employers — including those with pro-life convictions — to pay for abortions through their health-care plans. On abortion, the Democratic Party and its 2020 Democratic candidates are ignoring the American electorate and the scientific realities of human life in the womb, all while pretending to care about innocent life. Just a few days after voting against the Born-Alive Survivors Protect Act, Sen. Kamala Harris said in a statement supporting gun control, “We cannot tolerate a society and live in a country with any level of pride when our babies are being slaughtered.” It is hard to see how this is anything but hypocrisy. As science reveals more and more about prenatal developmental and embryology, it becomes impossible to deny the humanity of children in the womb without denying science itself.
