Why Is Abortion So Important to the Left?
Stephen Baskerville
Conservatives cannot understand why abortion is so important to the Left.
At every opportunity, feminists push it in everyone’s faces with bolshevik insistence. It takes a precedence in all political discussions, such as presidential election debates. Feminists are determined to make it the dominant issue in this presidential race, and they are succeeding.
The pressure is intense enough that it now threatens to derail Donald Trump’s campaign, as his recent liberal statements undermine support among his base.
Conservatives like Paul Gottfried are right to wonder if there is more here than meets the eye. It is imperative that we get a handle on this, not simply for this election, but for our overall political health.
The feminists are correct about its importance, though not for the reasons adduced by them or by pro-lifers. It involves control over more than just “lifestyle”. (…)

Abortion is a ritual human sacrifice to Baphomet, who is the god of the powerful "elites".
We don’t need to reestablish fault divorce in order for judges to enforce the constitutional right to be a parent. The no-fault laws did not prohibit judges from following the constitutional right to be a parent. Judges create and perpetuate litigation with unequal custody orders. In other words, judges are the problem.
We need to modernize all courts. All courtrooms should be viewable online. We need to bring them out of the dark ages with 21st century technology. We’re supposed to have public courtrooms. The number of people witnessing a trial, must not be limited by the size of any courtroom. Judges do their dirty work in the dark, ie., in secret courts. And no parent should lose custody rights unless tried and convicted in criminal court, for a crime such as child abuse, neglect or abandonment.
As it is, family court judges act under color of law, following unconstitutional statutes that purport to give them authority to determine custody. They need to be tried under US Code 18 section 242, Deprivation of rights under color of law, every time they deny a fit parent his or her right to be a parent. See http://exiledparents.org/
