Incrementalism in the Texas Abortion Law September 6, 2021

Introduction

The left just had a collective hissy fit over the scotus refusal five to four to strike

down a Texas Abortion Law.

That law had some unique and creative features along with some good lessons for everyone

on the pro-lifes out of things, incrementalists and abolitionists both.

More about all that in a minute.

As I write this, there's a temporary injunction against the law, but seeing this scotus is

already declined to take it up, I think the emphasis should be on the word temporary.

In addition, woke capital has also been doing some saber rattling, not wanting to do business

in any state that protects the lives of the unborn.

They will do business in all kinds of other places, like with the chakoms and such,

so they have apparently learned the trick of retaining moral purity while chiming around

with Nerduels.

Why don't they just use those skills here?

Probably because such skills don't work in reverse.

They don't work when you're doing business with people who do unpopular righteous things.

They only work when you want to make some tawdry money.

And of course, resident Biden has said that the law is, quote unquote, almost un-American,

which was withering criticism indeed, and he promised that his administration would swing

into action to ensure that women can continue to kill their children in Texas.
