The American Spectator : The No-Choice President

The No-Choice President

By Jeffrey Lord on 5.19.09 @ 6:08AM

Is gay marriage sinking the pro-abortion movement?

As G. Tracy Mehan reported here yesterday, the Gallup organization has found that 51% of Americans now identify themselves as "pro-life" with 42% identifying as "pro-choice." This is the first time the pro-life side has gained the majority since Gallup began polling the question in 1995. Aside from the interesting quandary this presents to Republican "moderates" who have long insisted that the GOP would do better in elections if it abandoned the pro-life side of the issue (because it was thought to be a political loser with a presumed pro-choice majority, something Ronald Reagan the two Bushes actively disproved), the question is whether the struggle over gay marriage and even the Obama presidency itself is unintentionally driving these results.

Gay marriage, of course, is famously being fought out on a state-by-state level. Vermont, through a vote of its legislature and the overriding of a gubernatorial veto, has said yes. California, in a popular vote to amend the state's constitution, has said no. Iowa adopted the liberal position of simply using the judiciary (the Iowa Supreme Court) to assert a brand new right miraculously discovered by liberal judges. As with California, this has launched an immediate move to get the gay marriage issue on the ballot, giving Iowa citizens the chance to vote on a constitutional amendment limiting marriage between one man and one woman.

The chance to vote on the issue, one suspects, would seem as fair to Iowans as it did to Californians.

And therein lies the increasing problem for the so-called "pro-choice" movement, even as it gathers behind the inevitable Obama pick for the Supreme Court of an abortion friendly nominee.

The hard political fact for abortion advocates is that in a society where words matter, the "pro-choice" movement is in reality what might be called the "no-choice" movement. Whatever else can be said about Roe v. Wade, the idea that a "woman's right to choose" was freely chosen by Americans -- as was true of every other basic right in the nation's history -- is fundamentally false. The American people have specifically been refused an opportunity to choose abortion policy. Instead, liberal activists chose to go through the courts. One suspects this is because abortion advocates fear an electoral result that in some fashion mirrors precisely the results Gallup has discovered -- a majority opposed to the tenets of abortion as outlined in the judicial fiat that is Roe v. Wade.

The United States Constitution itself -- the founding document that established the legal structure for the American government -- was written by elected delegates to the Constitutional Convention. The final document was sent to the states -- where state conventions composed of elected delegates ratified it, with nine states needed for approval. That occurred with the ratification by New Hampshire's elected state convention on June 21, 1788. No judges were involved in the process.

So too with the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Voters -- through the election of their members to the First Congress -- supported the writing of a Bill of Rights. A series of ten amendments outlining the basic rights of an American citizen were agreed upon by the Congress and submitted to the states where, once again, elected representatives supported the addition of these amendments to the Constitution. The rights we know today -- to a free press, religion, free speech, a trial by jury, the right to bear arms, not to incriminate oneself-- all (and more) were specifically approved by the American voter of the day. As time went on, other amendments -- ending slavery, providing ex-slaves with the right to vote, giving women the right to vote, removing the right to drink (Prohibition) -- and then specifically restoring the right to drink by ending Prohibition -- were all voted upon by the American people.

Yet through all of this there came a move to bypass the "consent of the governed" by instead substituting the political views of judges for the voter when the question arose over the establishment of basic rights. Most notorious on this front was the Dred Scott decision by the Supreme Court in 1857. Chief Justice Roger Taney, a slave-owning Democrat, tried, in the words of former Judge Robert Bork, to "read into the Constitution the legality of slavery forever." In part, Bork notes, Taney issued his ruling because he feared the "rising population" of the North -- which is to say the elective ability to eliminate slavery. By setting the resolution of the social issue of slavery as a court decision, of course, there was a political explosion that helped ignite the Civil War.

Even before the end of the war, Americans resumed the electoral approach to controversial questions of rights. Republicans campaigned in 1864 on ending slavery -- with a constitutional amendment that required a vote of the people. The Thirteenth Amendment was passed by Congress in 1865 (with only 14 Democrats in favor in the House, as Bruce Bartlett notes in his recent book Wrong on Race) and ratified by the accepted procedure of popular votes expressed through the election of state legislatures.

Now comes the Obama administration, presumably on the verge of nominating for the Supreme Court another descendant of the Roger Taney philosophy. Which is to say, yet another judge seeking to limit decisions on abortion rights to judges. No voter need apply.

Yet curiously, at the same time, Obama addressed the graduates of Notre Dame with an appeal about having a "fair mind" when dealing with the question of abortion. At the same time, in another area of his administration -- antitrust law -- Obama's assistant attorney general Christine Varney has signaled her eagerness to overturn decades of Supreme Court precedent that establishes the limits of antitrust law. Which is to say, the Obama administration has opened any Supreme Court nominee to legitimate questions that if it's OK to overturn Supreme Court precedent on antitrust law, why is there a problem overturning abortion law?

What does this mean for the next stage of the conservative fight on abortion?

It opens the door for a significant change in strategy. Expanding a strategy based on the sanctity of life -- to one that also focuses on the simple fairness of the decision making process. If it's OK for the people of Vermont to make gay marriage legal through a vote of their elected legislature -- and it's fair to allow California voters the right to amend their own constitution to ban gay marriage -- why shouldn't it be fair to let the same voters decide the fate of abortion policy in their states?

Not only is there no reason, the idea of applying the term "choice" to an appeal for overturning judge-made law has considerable political appeal. For one thing, it highlights the fact that opponents who masquerade under the "pro-choice" political banner are in fact, just as with the Taney Supreme Court in 1857 or gay marriage extremists in California, aggressively opposed to allowing voters a choice, in this case in making abortion policy. It highlights the reality that "pro-choice" activists are in fact "no-choice" activists, and the candidates they support are dedicated to keeping the American people from voting for whatever abortion rights policy they choose to support -- or not support.

* "So what's wrong in letting Americans choose what abortion rights they want? "

What's wrong is that ignorant people with 19th century mindsets such as yourself would use these as opportunities to deprive women of their freedom in accordance with your religious fundamentalism.

Big J| 5.19.09 @ 7:35AM

"The Thirteenth Amendment was passed by Congress in 1865 (with only 14 Democrats in favor in the House, as Bruce Bartlett notes in his recent book Wrong on Race)"

A fact all too often swept under the rug by the so called party of equality and fairness.

A human being's right to life is endowed by our creator, not legislators, judges or any man.

Period.

stu.b.con| 5.19.09 @ 7:44AM

Mr. Lord, once again is right on the mark. The left believes in "choice", that is, their choice or be damned.
Lest we forget, we have (among others) the liberal icon and noted eugenicist Margaret Sanger to thank for "planned parenthood".

Mr(?) Matthews: the Constitution does not confer upon elite, 'thinking Americans' on whom you bestow a certain hierarchical superiority over "ignorant people with 19th century mindsets" the privilege to terminate the life of an innocent being in-utero.

Compare and contrast; one of my high school english teachers drilled that into my head. Compare and contrast: Slave rights and gay rights; the contrasts are easy, the comparisons are profound. Slaves could not get legally married either. They could not create and sign contracts, and what is marriage mostly (legally speaking) but a huge contract with thousands of rights and responsibilities. Navanethem Pillay, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights spoke there last year saying, "That just like apartheid laws that criminalized sexual relations between different races, laws against homosexuality are increasingly becoming recognized as anachronistic and inconsistent both with international law and with traditional values of dignity, inclusion, and respect for all." Apartheid: A system of laws applied to one category of citizens in order to isolate them and keep them from having privileges and opportunities given to all others. Stop gay apartheid.

Big J| 5.19.09 @ 8:48AM

Only in SLG's world is abortion a yawning matter.

50,000,000 (that's MILLION) babies murdered since the Supreme court ruled on Roe vs Wade.

But we actually have REAL problems to solve, can't be bothered with the abortion thing.

You radical right wing social conservatives. When will you ever get your priorities straight?

Oops, SLG. Please don't collect your toys and go home. I apologize in advance if I struck a nerve.

DM - "deprive women of their freedom "

Freedom from what David. Freedom from nature. This is where post-Christian enlightenment "reason" has taken us. The rights of woman to overcome nature trump the rights of the most vulnerable to live.

If we were talking only of an unviable tissue mass then we may have something to take about but when an aborted fetuses is better developed then the premature baby down the hall on life support then we have a fundamental breakdown is reason.

Indiana Alex| 5.19.09 @ 9:07AM

Hey Moron,

Everybody has the right to get married in this country.

There are however restrictions on who and when one may marry.

For example, you cannot marry someone under the age of consent, and in most places you cannot marry someone of the same sex, or a close relative.

Is this an infringement on the heteros right to marry his sister? Where's equal protection there?

Oh, wait, logic again.

TJ| 5.19.09 @ 9:55AM

David Mathews, Just like a Liberal: if you don't agree with him, you're an idiot. So much for diversity.

Liberals should exercise....| 5.19.09 @ 10:00AM

...their rights and have as many abortions as possible. Starting right now.

The WSJ had a study on the Roe Effect in 2004. I am convinced there were less abortions because liberals thought the evil George Bush would somehow find them. I'm not kidding. I know a girl who had one in 2000 and she went hurriedly after the election to a clinic because GW wanted to taker her rights away she stated.
Well, there's one less stripper in eight years (the girl was a stripper).

We'll see an increase now because Obama is so enlightening. Let's start with the so-called Obama baby boom. All these people supposedly had sex the night he won ( or was inaugurated)---how many abortions since?

John| 5.19.09 @ 10:22AM

"What's wrong is that ignorant people with 19th century mindsets such as yourself would use these as opportunities to deprive women of their freedom..."

Let's see...birthing a baby only up until it's head is still in the womb, then impaling the back of the skull with a sharp metal object so as to withdraw its brains.

Sounds pretty "19th century" if not medieval to me...

John G.| 5.19.09 @ 10:30AM

Liberal Logic:

Men having sex with men is perfectly fine, despite the fact that it is devoid of logic, reason and defies the laws of nature.

Murdering innocent unborn children is considered an act of "freedom" and is a fundamental right of women.

Waterboarding KSM, who essentially killed 3000 innocent Americans, is criminal.

Got that?

Years ago I took an anthropology class in which I was taught that the test for whether or not 2 similar animal groups belonged to the same species is actually quite simple. If a female from animal group 1 mates with a male from animal group 2, the child of such a union is capable, once mature, of having children with the ability to reproduce when mature. This illustrates why slavery is immoral - all humans belong to the same species. This also points out a problem with homosexual marriage. Those unions, by their very nature, are incapable of producing children. Abortion is wrong simply because it kills children.

Augustin Duron| 5.19.09 @ 11:59AM

It doesn't surprises me that american people is pro-life and that the pro-death movement is trying to avoid a public consult; they are cheaters, the pro-death movement is per se, a movement based on lies and deceivement, a massive source of misleading information that knows that they won't ever get a majority vote.

I think the powers that be at Notre Dame forgot that the event taking place on Sunday was a graduation. If I had been a parent there to see my child graduate, Iw ould have been appalled! I WAS appalled. The president of the university was all but drooling over obama, and obama himself just spouted his usual rhetoric about "giving back" and his new jargon of we need to have "open hearts and open minds "when talking about abortion. This was nothing but another stop for him in his perpetual campaign for adoration and ego stroking. He does love to hear himself talk.

Too bad that flat earth David Matthews does not believe in the right of babies to live. Because all would vote to live. It is a shame that Religious bigots like him are allow to vote.

Sailorman| 5.19.09 @ 2:49PM

Just a few comments -
First, life begins at conception. That is not faith based but, a scientific fact. (Do your own research, it won't take long and you might actually learn something.) This being the case, abortion is nothing more than legally sanctioned murder. Best way to avoid pregnancy? Keep your pants on boys and girls.
Second, I believe Notre Dame has every right to invite whomever they want to address their graduation. After all, universities are the traditional arena for the freewheeling exchange of ideas. Too bad most of the leftwingers don't seem to get that.
Third, Notre Dame was absolutely wrong to confer an Honorary Degree on Mr. Obama. That action clearly conveys a degree of approval of his beliefs and for a Catholic institution to do this is absolutely wrong. The president of Notre Dame should be removed.
Fourth, All the above having been said, The graduation ceremony was supposed to honor the hard work and efforts of the young adults in the graduating class. The actions of Notre Dame's president and the media created a circus that completely eclipsed the efforts of those students. Thank you very much for your efforts to ruin the students day! Shame on you all!

Roy| 5.19.09 @ 3:34PM

I am at a bit of a loss what the point of the first sentence is. If it is "Pro-lifers can now make the argument that, since gay marriage is being decided at the state level, so should abortion". I don't quite see that it follows and in any case I don't think "gay marriage" will continue to be decided at the state level for long. With an Obamite or two on the Supreme Court - soon enough it will be declared "discriminatory" not to accept it at the federal level - and that will be that.

"Abortion and gay marriage" = "Slavery and no fault divorce".

KyMouse| 5.19.09 @ 4:49PM

David Mathews talks about depriving women of their freedom. Well, none of us has the absolute right to do whatever we please with our bodies. We aren't allowed to drive our bodies down the street at 150 miles per hour, because we might kill someone. Abortion, too, kills someone - - the baby, and sometimes the mother, even in legal abortion mills (Lee Ann Herron comes to mind).

Advocates of abortion such as David talk about a woman's right to choose, but it is most often not the mother who wants to abort her baby, but the baby's father, the mother's parents, or someone else. The abortion is often not her choice at all, but rather a terrible decision that she is pressured into making. A 2004 report by the Eliot Institute said that as many as 60 percent of abortions may be the result of coercion. The Washington Post reported in Dec. 2004 that murder is the leading cause of death for pregnant women and new mothers. The article quoted Pat Brown, a criminal profiler in Minneapolis, who said that when a woman won't abort her baby, the man in her life may think that "if SHE goes away, the problem goes away." "Pro-choice" men are the number-one perpetrators of violence against pregnant, pro-life mothers.

And incest? Abortion covers the crime of incest. It protects the man from discovery, allowing him to keep commiting incest without fear of punishment. Abortion is the best cover-up for incest, destroying the evidence (the baby), and almost guaranteeing that the abuse will continue.

David, is there any baby who doesn't deserve a chance? If your mother told you that you were conceived through rape or incest, would you say, "My life isn't worth living -- I should die," or would you say, "Thanks, Mom, for letting me live"?

KyMouse| 5.19.09 @ 4:53PM

I meant to type "Lou Ann Herron" in the above letter -- she bled to death in 1998 in a legal Phoenix, AZ abortuary while the abortionist finished his lunch.

Simply, while there are a number of very intelligent contributors, they often appear grossly outnumbered by the insufferable and sanctimonious pontificators/lecturers ("if you don't believe as I do, a pox upon your very being, et al...") -- they fancy themselves as tolerant and open-minded...

Roy| 5.19.09 @ 9:31PM

Yeah, SLG, that tendency is actually pretty common among "moderates" too. And the comically non-self conscious belief in their own tolerance and open-mindedness is actually MORE common among moderates, by everything I've seen - ie "I'm a tolerant, open minded, mainstream, bipartisan, moderate, did I mention open minded?, centrist, maverick, and everybody who disagrees with me is an ignorant extremist wingnut who should be ignored as much as possible since we can't actually disenfranchise them."

Mathews must be a member of Abu Hussein's ACORN brownshirts. Community organization in Russian translates as "soviet".
The business of abortion providers is enormously profitable - for example take that creepy Howard Dean who made abot $40 million from his string of abortion mills. One doctor with one nurse and one receptionist plus part-time security guard can perform 40 abortions in a working day; that is some 200x40=8,000 abortions per year. At an average $500/abortion that is a gross of $4 million/year. The cost of such a mill is estimated at a maximum of $500,000/year, leaving that brave "doctor" with $3,500,000/year before taxes.

It seems to me that that a fetus's right to live boils down to how much it is wanted. We live in a world where there are support groups for women who have gone through a miscariage, but a woman who finds herself "inconvenienced" by carrying a life inside them can voluntarily have that life aborted. And, does any prosecutor ask if the fetus was "wanted" before they charge a murderer who kills a pregnant woman with two counts of murder; of the mother and fetus? Is this not a contradiction?

Daphne| 5.21.09 @ 10:00PM

Richard Clark| 5.25.09 @ 8:42AM

This article is HOGWASH! While the majority of Americans might be personally against abortion, I really doubt if the majority wants to see abortion RECRIMILIZED. It also also BS comparing abortion opponents to abolitionists. The exact opposite is the truth. People who want to make abortion illegal are using the same misinterpretation of Scripture that the slave supporters in the SOUTH used. They are denying women their freedom. Also abortion opponents are largely from the same reactionary Southern states. Also, the majority of African-Americans are pro-choice and I challenge you to name one African-American now currently serving in the US Congress or Senate who wants Roe v. Wade over-turned! The majority of Americans do not want to see women and doctors arrested for having or performing abortions. The rich women will just go to Europe where abortion is legal and where the Religious Right idiots don't exist to get an abortion and the poor women will die in botched abortions in back-alleys.

KyMouse| 5.28.09 @ 10:31AM

Richard Clark, abortion has devastated the African-American community. Black women represent only 14 % of the U.S. population of women of child-bearing age, but account for 32 % of all U.S. abortions. Almost half of all Black pregnancies end in abortion, but about one in six white pregnancies. For more information, visit www.nrlc.org.

If your mother told you that you had been conceived through rape or incest, would you say, "My life is worthless; I should have been killed," or would you say, "Thanks, Mom, for letting me live -- for giving me a chance"?

Is there any baby who doesn't deserve the same chance?
