O’Rourke on State’s Abortion Rights: ‘The Women of Texas Will Win It Back in 2022’

The issue is that those who market abortion have been spreading lies about fetal development and telling women that contraceptives are dangerous ever since 1973. A lot of women have been indoctrinated with those lies.

Now that Roe v. Wade is history, we have the chance to educate women.

The abortion advocates have been altering their pro-abortion arguments. More and more, instead of claiming that the fetus is not a living human being, they have been characterizing it as a parasite and promoting the concept that women’s convenience is worth much more than human life. This narrative has very wide implications—when you teach people that some people’s convenience is more important than other people’s lives, then, basically, anyone’s life can be deemed unimportant for any reason. This is another narrative that we must counter.

One of the reasons we could not fight back effectively against abortion indoctrination was that every effort to educate women was litigated by the abortion industry. They successfully prevented informed consent laws on the basis that it “interfered” with a woman’s “right to choose.” With Roe v. Wade overturned, we now have the opportunity to implement informed consent laws, and, potentially, to litigate against abortion businesses that routinely lie to clients to convince them to use abortion instead of contraceptives.

The pro-abortion culture was not negated by overturning Roe v. Wade. Since it had decades to spread lies almost unopposed, it will likely take a while to educate women against those lies.
