Stacey Abrams, the sore loser radical whose greatest achievement is a brief cameo on a Star Trek television show, is known for making terrible gaffes in very public settings. While I could spend all day listing them out, I’d rather focus on one terrible admission that may have revealed more of the left’s agenda than what Abrams would have liked. On a softball interview with MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle, Abrams was told that voters care more about inflating prices than abortion policy. Ever the stalwart defender of killing children, Abrams responded by saying that having children costs a lot of money and that women who worry about rising prices should just have abortions.
This callous solution to President Biden’s policy blunders shows just how disconnected Democrats are from the real hurt that Americans are feeling. This shouldn’t even have to be said, but killing someone or choosing not to have children should never have to be a response to a political problem. Stacey Abrams’ diabolical dismissal sounds more like it could come from a comic book villain than from a serious candidate for office.
While many on the right were quick to decry Abrams’ horrible comments, and rightly so, I don’t want to fail to mention a point on which she and I actually agree. Raising a child can be expensive. There’s no getting around that. Stacey’s comments presumed that the only one feeling the economic burden of raising the child is the mother. Sadly, that is the case all too often. Raising a child by yourself is incredibly hard and every one of us should come alongside and support our loved ones who have been put in that position.
However, the solution to single parenthood and the economic hardship it entails is not to kill the child. Instead, we need to restore the American nuclear family where a husband and wife raise their children together as one household. That model provides the greatest stability and economic opportunity for everyone involved. Returning to the nuclear family does not start at the statehouse. It starts at the church house and at your house. I challenge you to consider how seriously you take your role as a father, mother, or grandparent.
