Massachusetts state governor Democrat Maura Healey’s recent signing of legislation granting doctors unrestricted authority to approve abortions at any point in a pregnancy is nothing short of a grotesque abdication of moral responsibility. Sadly, this homicidal ritual is nothing new in Democrat led states, as Massachusetts now joins nine other Democrat led states that allow the killing of a living child up until birth if a doctor deems it “necessary,” or in “his or her professional judgement.”
Make no mistake about it, this is not about women’s health or compassion, this is the Democrats full-throated embrace of inhumanity for the sanctity of human life, cloaked in the language of “professional judgement.” The previous law, while flawed, at least imposed certain restrictions if a physician determined it necessary to protect the life of the mother, or in cases of lethal fetal anomaly.
Now those so-called guardrails have been erased; gone are even the minimal safeguards that previously existed. Instead, the new law hands over the authority to allow any doctor to make the final call with no reason required whatsoever, except for their “professional judgement.” It completely strips away the humanity of the unborn child turning late-term abortion into an unchecked vile act of government sanctioned murder. The cold reality is that this means killing a living, developing human being, late into pregnancy, or during delivery on a whim; a whim authorized by the Democrat led state legislature and signed into law by the radical progressive Democrat governor.
And do not be fooled by the Democrats sanctimonious claim that this is about “woman’s rights,” or “reproductive healthcare access.” True healthcare professionals swear to protect life at all costs, it cherishes life; not this vile distortion of cruelty created by progressive policy makers. It’s simply a perverse and ungodly surrender to legalized murder of the unborn.
Don’t just take my word for it, look at the other states that have adopted similar barbaric laws. They are exclusively Democrat led states where “late term” and “partial birth” abortion is treated casually, like another day at the office. The humanity of the fetus, the fact that it is a living child with a beating heart, and the capacity to feel pain, is deliberately denied and ignored by the Democrat establishment in all these states, resulting in legalized murder.
To be clear, this isn’t simply a legislative issue, it’s a moral crisis happening in real time. Every time a living child is killed in the name of “professional judgment,” the soul of the American people takes another brutal kick to the stomach. My question has always been the same; how in God’s name did we get to this moment? When did they decide that the value of human life depends on arbitrary suitability and cold-hearted calculations?
It’s utterly sickening to see elected officials charged with protecting their constituents, championing the eradication of an entire class of human beings. These progressive laws are a license to kill living children without apology or accountability. How do we provide oversight against these doctors who now wield this newfound power of life and death? The “professional judgement” proviso sounds official, but how will it be policed, and who will police it?
Governor Healey and the other grotesque progressives applauding at her desk during the bills signing cannot provide enough political spin to mask the truth; their new law justifies the murder of the innocent. Every one of them is an abomination to decency, justice, and basic humanity. Their conduct should outrage anyone who still believes in the sanctity of life. Massachusetts lawmakers crossed an unforgivable line. They made it easier to destroy life than to protect it. They managed to normalize cruelty and call it choice, another new despicable milestone for today’s Democrat party.
