The Unrealistic Fantasy of Outlawing Abortion Nationwide

Gathering 30 million MAGA Christians and sending them to a distant land under the belief that they can control the nation is not only absurd but also dangerous. This idea reflects a severe misunderstanding of American democracy and the reality of political support for abortion rights.

The Reality of Abortion Support

It is unrealistic to believe that all artificial abortions will be outlawed in every state anytime soon. The Democrats as a political party are overwhelmingly pro-choice and have significant control over states like New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, and California. These states are unlikely to change their stances on abortion, even if the Republicans regain control of the federal government.

According to the latest polls, two-thirds of American voters are pro-choice, and an even greater number are against a complete ban on abortion. Therefore, any attempt to outlaw abortion nationwide will face significant opposition, and tens of millions of Americans will oppose such efforts.

The Political Landscape and Legal Realities

The passage of a federal Constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion is unrealistic anytime soon. Democrats are likely to retain at least 35 seats in the U.S. Senate, which would prevent such an amendment from passing. Even if Republicans control both houses of Congress, such a 2/3 majority is unlikely to materialize in the Senate.

A simpler form of legislation, such as ending federal funding for groups like Planned Parenthood, might garner support. However, Democrats and their establishment media will likely frame such a move to vigorously defend Planned Parenthood's funding, thus minimizing any impact.

Critique of MAGA and Theocratic Ideals

Claims that only those who share MAGA views are real Americans are both divisive and factually incorrect. The principle of individual autonomy and choice is a cornerstone of American democracy. Being Christian does not mean controlling the choices of others, and the U.S. is not a theocracy or a Christian nation. In fact, most Christians are pro-choice.

The idea of sending MAGA supporters to a distant land is more aligned with extremist ideologies than American values. It is important to recognize that abandoning the fight for a single issue is a disservice to both the cause and the nation. The path to achieving positive change is through democracy and debate, not through force or exclusion.

Conclusion

The battle to outlaw abortion nationwide is a fantasy fueled by a misunderstanding of the democratic process and political realities. Instead of focusing on such unrealistic goals, MAGA supporters and pro-life advocates should work towards more achievable goals, such as legislation to restrict rather than ban abortion. Unity and constructive dialogue are key to influencing public opinion and shaping policy in a democratic society.

Ultimately, the struggle for abortion rights is about fundamental human rights and ensuring that individuals have the freedom to choose. Focusing on realistic solutions and engaging with the broader community is essential for any movement seeking lasting change.
