Human Beings Are Not Disposable, No Matter What (Op-Ed)

In August, Tennessee’s Human Life Protection Act went into effect, banning abortion statewide from conception. Contrary the abortion lobby’s alarmist rhetoric, there are no dead bodies in the streets, no women being denied life-saving treatment, and nobody will be investigated simply for having a miscarriage. 

Instead, lives are being saved through this ban on the murder of innocent human beings. 

In Tennessee, some twelve thousand abortions were committed last year, almost enough to fill AT&T Field twice. 

Because of the Human Life Protection Act , each and every Tennessean, no matter how small, is guaranteed the right to life, a huge step forward in the fight for human rights for all Americans, born and unborn. That’s why the pro-life movement will continue to stand for science, logic and love by opposing any and all attempts by pro-abortion Democrats and weak kneed, unprincipled Republicans in the state legislature to amend or weaken our current abortion ban in any way. 

No matter when or how they are conceived, each and every unborn child has the right to life. Being conceived in rape or incest does not lessen their humanity, their value or their worthiness to be protected by this state. 

The abortion lobby’s shocking use of victims of tragic circumstances such as rape in the wake of the Dobbs decision is a sickening exposé of the culture of death that has a stranglehold on our country. 

But in Tennessee, we’ll fight for every life, no matter what. Human beings are not disposable, no matter what.
