Tonight, the President nominated the first new Supreme Court Justice in 11 years and before they had even turned to leave the podium, Democrats and “Lifestyle Liberals” were already in overdrive promising (threatening) to grill this nominee until he’s revealed to be a radical, anti-abortionist Neanderthal.

Forget that his legal prowess and temperament are universally respected, that he was unanimously approved for his current post (by a lesser 51-49 Senate) just 20 months ago and that nothing is coming out of his closet including skeletons.

They say it’s about ascertaining the nominee’s personal beliefs on “important” social issues and determining if (he) is “outside the mainstream”, but we all know that its really all about one thing – Abortion and the possible over-turning of Roe vs. Wade. It’s always been about Roe, that’s their bottom line, their litmus test, their raison d’ete!

What is it about Abortion that so unifies the Left?

Coincidently, I found the answer, in a one sentence quote, from this morning’s newspaper. On page 5A, my Rocky Mountain News ran an article headlined, Abortion photos stir up anger, which reported on the annual Operation Rescue protest, along the downtown Denver mall, featuring a huge color photo depicting aborted body parts. The sight prompted a 20-year old, male passerby to comment,”It makes me angry. They’re making people feel worse about their sins.”

What makes his quote so revealing and genuine is the impromptu candor of the spontaneous and unrehearsed comment, “worse about their sins”. For once, someone actually said it like it is! He didn’t think to parse his words, to be politically correct or to impute the sophistication of those holding vigil. This young man didn’t say, that when confronted about the realities of Abortion, (people are being made to) feel worse about their choices or what they do in the privacy of their own home, but worse about their sins, worse about what they already know is wrong. When asked, the usual professional “Pro-Choice” suspects are apt to cloud the issue with their deep, philosophical concerns’ over Fetal Science or Gender Equality, but what they really know is that abortion-on-demand is immoral despite their ability to trivialize and rationalize genocide.

As evidenced by this unguarded quotation, the one thing the Left absolutely abhors is being confronted or reminded of their own guilt. As long as Roe stands, they can continue to hide behind their precious law, denying that which they know exists already, in their own hearts.

Tonight, America has a nominee, tomorrow a judge and in the days ahead another judge and maybe a third or a forth. Someday that divisive law will fall and like the opening of curtains in a room long-shrouded; the cockroaches of Liberalism will either emerge from their self-loathing into the Light of Life or scurry off, deeper yet, into the Darkness of Denial.
