Kamala's Doublethink Conundrum

Inside of Kamala’s possibly Cabernet-clouded cranium, it appears that only one concept rings clear above all others: Abortion rights must be protected without exception.

During an NBC interview last Tuesday, Harris was asked if, in the event of a divided government, she would consider any religious exemptions for abortion? She replied, “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.” So no exceptions. However, without such an exemption, we know that Christian doctors and nurses would be forced to end (i.e., murder) what they rightfully regard as an unborn a human life.

Her word-salad spewing logic also exhibited the same uncharacteristic clarity on the subject of abortion rights while she was a senator. For example, while serving in that role she opposed a compromise bill that would have banned abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and twice voted against a bill that would have required that infants who survived an abortion receive basic medical care. She also delighted in tormenting Catholic judicial nominees about their membership in the Friday-fish-frying Knights of Columbus, thereby imposing a religious test for public office prohibited by Article VI of the Constitution.

Why is Harris so unbending on this one single issue? Because even someone as stubborn as she understands that the foundational lie of the modern Democrat party – that abortion is (somehow) not the taking of a human life – must be protected at all costs in order keep their Orwellian kingdom of lies from collapsing into oblivion.

In George Orwell’s 1984, the Party’s ubiquitous slogans were:

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Orwell explained that each of these slogans could only be understood by mastering “the labyrinthine world of doublethink”:

“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself – that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed.”

The Democrat’s Orwellian Antipathy to Human Life

Just a few of the many unique and current Democrat doublethink slogans include:

A MAN IS A WOMAN

AN OPEN BORDER IS A SECURE BORDER

AN INSENTIENT PRESIDENT IS A SENTIENT PRESIDENT

But first and foremost among all their doublethink slogans is the one that dates back to 1973’s Roe v. Wade: AN UNBORN HUMAN LIFE IS NOT A HUMAN LIFE.

In that decision, the Supreme Court wrote:

“We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.”

First of all, if you are unsure whether something is a human life, you probably should opt not to kill a million of them a year, lest you might become at least partly responsible for the greatest mass murder in all of human history.

Secondly, the Court lied through its teeth about the state of human knowledge in 1973. According to the American College of Pediatricians, “…medical dictionaries and even English language dictionaries both before and after 1966 define ‘conception’ as synonymous with fertilization (sometimes via the intermediary term of ‘fecundation’).” And the Cambridge Dictionary provides further clarity in its definition of “conception” as, “the process of a male and a female sex cell joining and causing a baby to start to form.”

So, the Roe justices have known from the beginning that abortion rights were founded on an absence of truth. But how were they able to convince so many people that it wasn’t full-blown murder? Once again, 1984 provides the answer:

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. … All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. “Reality control,” they called it; in Newspeak, “doublethink.””

That is why, for all of its breathtaking power, doublethink is actually quite a fragile construct. In order to believe a lie while knowing it’s not true, one cannot be reminded of the truth. In fact, all it takes is for someone to point out the obvious contradiction, and the whole structure inevitably collapses. This helps to explain why you can’t calmly reason with many Democrats about the truthfulness of their slogans without eliciting an emotional, if not hysterical, response. It also illuminates their antipathy for the First Amendment, their need for “safe spaces” sheltering them from the truth, and their affinity for tyranny.

And that’s why the issue of abortion rights is one that Kamala Harris has both consistently and passionately advocated, and one that she must protect at all costs. Because even she is aware that establishing abortion rights was the first successful imposition of Orwellian doublethink on innocent Americans. And in the event that AN UNBORN HUMAN LIFE IS NOT A HUMAN LIFE fails under the weight of its own contradiction, then, like a house of cards, so will all of her other doublethink slogans.

Orwell gets it; and so should we.
