When Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin decided he didn’t like that federal law prohibits the Armed Forces from paying for abortions, he simply released a policy to ignore the law and have the military pay for it anyway. When the Biden administration wants to keep an open southern border despite laws protecting the United States from illegal immigration, he simply eliminates the policies that deter illegal immigration and has his Justice Department cripple our ability to deport those who enter. Again, no need to change the law, just have your people enforce the policies you choose and leave no resources to enforce the laws you want ignored. This has become a powerful weapon in recent years.
This brings us to Kate Cox.
Cox would like an abortion, but she lives in Texas where abortion is illegal unless your life is in danger. Cox’s unborn baby suffers from Trisomy 18, also called “Edward’s Syndrome,” where her baby has a small chance of surviving past infancy. Although her baby has a very small chance at survival, the people of Texas have made their will clear and have voted to protect any chance of the baby’s survival.
Not everyone has been honest about this fact. Ann Coulter, for example, received an extremely sharp rebuke from Rick Santorum when she posted, “Trisomy 18 is not a condition that is compatible with life.” Santorum showed the absurdity of this statement by answering with a picture of his 13-year-old daughter who has this condition.
