Did I miss something in civics class? Was there a new amendment added to the Constitution of the United States and we just didn’t get the memo? Bernie Sanders announced yesterday, by the powers of Socialist Democracy, that “abortion is a constitutional right.” There we have it folks; if you needed any further proof to the fact that socialists are fucking crazy, Sanders gave it to you.

And the amount of cheers and likes and retweets this tyrant received is astounding! Suddenly, we applaud murder. Suddenly, killing babies just isn’t a big deal anymore. Hey, while we are at it, what’s the socialist agenda for eradicating homelessness, Bernie?

I am in awe, really. I am in awe on how this white man—the archetype of society that apparently is the most toxic and privileged at the same time— can say something as bombastic as he did, and no one bats an eye. Nothing? No one wants to say, “Uh, hey Bern, dude, that was a bit too far. I mean yeah, we all hate babies, but we don’t go around publicly declaring abortion as a right.”

Are we that desensitized by the miracle of life that we just #shoutyourabortion as though it’s a friggin medal of honor? Is that what we do? It’s grotesque. It’s beyond deplorable.

The reason we don’t value anyone is because we have stopped valuing the most precious form of life; the most innocent and the most dependent—the unborn. When we stopped caring about the sanctity of life at its very beginning, there was only an open pathway to dismiss the worth of whatever human forms we could so justify. And so, we have.

Look, I know typically, it’s expected that as a more progressive leaning woman, I should somehow embrace abortion as my God-given right; but fuck that noise. I will not. I will not make any grandiose statements about my own experience of abortion. It was the vilest day of my life and I will not paint it up as though it was anything liberating or freeing or justified by my womanhood. It destroyed a piece of my heart for a long time. I have since healed from it, but it is still remarked as a dark day in my life that I wish I would have been more mindful about.

With that being said, I am also not about to storm any government building and demand that it be banned altogether. If you want to use abortion as birth control or race control, by all means, have at your wicked ways of whitewashing. Yes, it is whitewashing. It’s a contributing reason to why the black population has been stagnant to rise and why our country is facing a population deficit. If black lives matter, we should stop convincing so many black women that abortion is the answer, or now, a right.

But I must ask those who support Sanders: do you endorse this? Are you such loyal flocks of sheep that you would endorse any person that sees no value in the unborn life if it would be a financial burden to another life? How much more so can adults be a financial burden to the society in which they live? When will the line be crossed that murder is a constitutionally protected right? Kill your ex, kill your in-law, kill your 15-year-old because they stole your car and charged up your credit card?

Call me alarmist, but the very notion that any presidential candidate can publicly lament about such a cruel and foul act as being a friggin right just ends all deals for me. I mean, sure, the philanderer and adulterer are bad enough, but an old rich, white guy is applauded for praising abortion as a right? Did I wake up in the Twilight Zone?
