Tucker calls the enraged response to Roe v Wade ending what it is, an attack on the institution of Family. Highlights include:
“’I do not view abortion as a choice,’ said Joe Biden as recently as 2006, ‘I think it’s always a tragedy.’ And, of course it always is a tragedy, even if you believe it should be legal, and democrats once said this out loud forthrightly. In fact, in 1997 as White House council, now Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan urged her boss Bill Clinton to sign a ban on partial birth abortions. Elena Kagan has always been pro-choice, but ending the life of a child the week before birth was too much even for her, and of course for his part, Bill Clinton never spoke about abortion as anything but as a last resort. He famously described it as something that should be ‘safe, legal and rare.’ You don’t hear that on the left anymore, ever.”
“The hysteria is telling. It’s not the assault on bodily autonomy of the end of Roe vs. Wade. Those are the same people who demanded vaccine mandates. But this happened all over the country. In Arizona, thousands of enraged rioters tried to storm the state capitol. On Friday night they tore down security fencing around the building. They pounded on the senate’s glass doors and windows while the legislature was in session, police had to fire tear gas from the windows to protect the politicians inside.”
“Looks like insurrection to us, but no arrests were made at the Arizona state capitol on Friday when that footage was shot, there will be no FBI investigation. Democrats who called January 6 a racist insurrection said nothing this weekend about the violent siege at the state capitol of Arizona. Did you expect them to? No, of course not. In fact, instead, they justified it.”
“Because the Court did something they don’t like, they’re now telling us the third branch of government is ‘illegitimate’. The Supreme Court is ‘illegitimate’ because it’s allowing voters to decide what they want to do with abortion. Some would call that democracy, a system in which citizens choose their own form of government. They’re telling us it’s illegitimate.”
“It’s not simply an explicit attack on the legitimacy of the third branch of government, the Court. It’s not just an attack on the right of people to govern themselves. It’s something bigger than that. What you’re seeing is a coordinated attack on the family and on children. People at these protests are angered at the idea that children are being born. Watch what’s happening there, that’s hardly an overstatement.”
“What about the thought of having children makes these people so angry? Where does an attitude like that come from? Well, as it turns out, that attitude comes from the same place the democratic party now gets all of its attitudes, directly from corporate America. Corporate America wants you childless, and this is a big change.”
“A hundred years ago, big companies built housing for the families of their employees and then schools and libraries to educate them. It was the humane thing to do, but it also seemed to make good business sense at the time. If you wanted workers you could count on, you had to take care of them and their offspring. But over time, that arrangement got expensive. Employees with families demanded higher wages to support their children, and in many cases they formed unions to get those raises, so labor costs soared. So corporate America in response to this developed a new model: hire single women.”
“The one downside to hiring young women is they can get pregnant. If you’re running the HR department at Citibank, that is the last thing you want. Children make your health care plan more expensive.”
“What amazing is that in the face of this, so many Americans who ought to know better have fallen for it. So, some accountant at a soulless publicly traded corporation concludes that drones with no personal lives make cheaper workers, that’s what happened. But rather than question this or resist it, your average college-educated NPR listener nods in vigorous bovine agreement, and then becomes completely hysterical when someone suggests that maybe there’s another way to live, that it’s at least theoretically possible that raising your own children might be more rewarding as a life choice than commuting into a slum on public education in order to claw your way up into middle management.”
