Abortion is the only reason Harris has given women to vote for her — and it’s not enough.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, has given women many reasons to vote for him. This week, while Kamala Harris was offering pithy and empty condolences to the families of women murdered by illegal immigrants, Donald Trump dedicated an hour to addressing female voters’ concerns.
At a Georgia town hall on Wednesday, Trump tackled questions from an exclusively female audience, addressing their worries about everything from the dangers of illegal immigration to the high cost of food and child care to women’s safety. When one woman asked how quickly Trump could remove the threats that arise in sanctuary cities so women and children could live free of fear, Trump replied, “We are going to end all sanctuary cities immediately.”
He also offered more details about how he would be women’s “protector.” As he stated in a speech last month in Pennsylvania: “You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. … You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today.”
Trump’s reassurances should be music to women’s ears as they struggle with the devastating effects of the Biden-Harris administration.
The Effects of Biden and Harris
For example, the Biden-Harris administration rewrote Title IX, allowing men to compete in women’s sports and permitting them to infiltrate women’s-only spaces.
This administration’s open border policies have also led to avoidable violent crimes due to an influx of illegal immigrants, many of whom were criminals before they ever unlawfully crossed our border. This puts our most vulnerable, women and children, at high risk of attack — women like Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin, not to mention the women and children living in the apartments taken over by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Yet when Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked Kamala Harris if she owed an apology to the families of the young ladies brutally abused and killed by illegal immigrants, she responded with a delayed and reluctant “sorry” and that she “feel[s] awful” for the loss of their lives. She expressed no regret, however, for reversing Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy or other measures he took to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
When asked about her support for taxpayer funds being used for inmates who want transgender surgeries, she told Baier the issue “is really quite remote.”
But it’s a real issue, and endorsing dangerous male criminals being housed with female inmates, allowing boys onto girls’ sports teams, and instilling LGBT agendas into schools and even foreign policy initiatives are not remote. Biden and Harris’ policies significantly affect vulnerable girls and women. They weaken family ties and sow discord between parents and children. They neuter our military and make America look weak on the world stage.
The policies Harris would continue into her presidency not only harm women but seek to erase our very essence. Still, Harris, like most female Democrat politicians, relies on one issue and one issue alone to shore up votes from women: abortion.
How Democrats Deceive Women
Democrats have been good at convincing women that the only right that matters is the ability to kill their unborn children and that the freedom to get an abortion for any reason, at any time during their pregnancy, is the ultimate reason for voting. This, they claim, is female empowerment of the highest order.
I was one of the women who fell for this ruse. After moving to Los Angeles, I abandoned many of the traditional values instilled in me during my youth including my pro-life views. I became convinced that women’s equality meant having sex like men, without giving any thought to the sanctity and true purpose of the most intimate act between a man and a woman. My heart always knew differently. Every one-night stand and encounter devoid of love left me heartbroken and devastated.
Now I see Democrats’ play for women’s votes for what it is: deception.
Abortion Is Not Empowering
Abortion is not empowerment. It is bondage. Yet it’s the only thing that the party that can’t even define what women are, much less protect them, has to offer. Yet Harris’ double-digit lead over Trump with women shows many still cling to the abortion issue.
True female empowerment comes from our awesome ability to nurture and protect another human in our wombs. It comes from understanding our bodies and monthly cycles so well that we can even plan our families naturally if we aren’t prepared to handle the responsibilities of having a child. Many women seem to think restraint and control of sexual desire before a baby is conceived should be left to men alone, when we also have the power to say no. In fact, the freedom women have to turn down men they think are unsuitable for marriage or providing a safe, healthy home for children is one of the greatest ways we can exert control over our lives.
Freedom comes with taking responsibility for our choices and their consequences. It requires thinking for ourselves, no matter how politicians try to manipulate and confuse us. That is what is on the ballot next month, ladies, so choose wisely.
And no, you don’t have to choose Kamala Harris just because she’s a woman.
