Remember when<\/span> Phil Vischer of Veggie Tales fame and his friend Skye Jethani<\/span><\/a> released their \u201cWhat About Abortion?\u201d video, which insinuated that the President doesn\u2019t really impact abortion policy in the United States all that much? I think we can officially declare that hypothesis dead as a doornail, as Joe Biden has managed to squeeze a zealously pro-abortion agenda into virtually every nook and cranny of our government in less time and with more vigor than many people expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, this president has been a disaster when it comes to protecting the lives of innocent preborn human beings, and he hasn\u2019t even been in office for three full months. With the stroke of a pen \u2014 and within days of taking office \u2014 Biden<\/span> reversed<\/span><\/a> the Mexico City policy, restoring taxpayer funding for overseas abortions, and ordered a \u201c<\/span>review<\/span><\/a>\u201d of Trump\u2019s \u201cProtect Life Rule,\u201d which bans abortion providers like Planned Parenthood from receiving Title X funding. Now that California AG Xavier Becerra has been confirmed<\/a> as head of the Department of Health and Human Services with zero health care experience on his resum\u00e9, that rule is likely to be changed in great haste.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this pales in comparison to other endeavors put in motion since Biden took office.<\/span>\u00a0A pro-abortion majority Congress has\u00a0renewed its efforts<\/span><\/a> to certify the long-defunct Equal Rights Amendment, which could effectively classify abortion as a \u201cright\u201d in this country; meanwhile, that same majority has also stepped up the push to pass the so-called<\/span> Equality Act<\/span><\/a>, which would mandate taxpayer funding of abortion and remove conscience protections that currently allow healthcare providers to opt out of killing preborn human beings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing short of a cultural revolution is being attempted on President Biden\u2019s complicit watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

If these efforts are successful, and if Biden follows through on all of his promises, Big Abortion will benefit immensely from the Biden presidency \u2014 more so than it already has. Biden\u2019s \u201c<\/span>Agenda for Women<\/span><\/a>,\u201d for example, announced during his campaign, includes codifying Roe v. Wade<\/em>. This means the Supreme Court decision forced upon every state in the U.S. would then be forced upon them in federal law as well, permanently enshrining abortion as a \u201cright\u201d in the U.S. and removing states\u2019 ability to place restrictions upon it<\/em>. Biden’s \u201cAgenda\u201d also includes eliminating the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding of domestic abortions. Eliminating Hyde means more money for the abortion industry, especially for Planned Parenthood, who would be even freer to pick the pockets of taxpayers, though they already receive more than half a billion taxpayer dollars annually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe Biden’s apparent vision for America includes unlimited government subsidies for an unlimited number of \u201cprocedures.\u201d And a snapshot of the Biden administration is stark, with no small number of former abortion industry employees<\/a> who have joined the ranks. <\/span>Those who didn\u2019t work for Big Abortion certainly seem to have Big Abortion<\/span> working for them<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

I cannot imagine anyone more passionate and skilled in the role of Associate Attorney General than @vanitaguptaCR<\/a>. This should be an easy and bi-partisan confirmation for this Congress. Let's do this. #confirmgupta<\/a><\/p>\n
