In the heated debate over abortion, many have failed to recognize the real issue at stake. Kamala Harris and the Democrats continue to spread misleading information, but we must not let their fear-mongering cloud our judgment. Recently, Harris claimed that former President Trump will impose a nationwide abortion ban without exceptions, but Trump has made it clear that he supports exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. However, is this really enough?

Let’s take a hard look at what’s really happening.

Exceptions in Abortion Laws? It Weakens the Pro-Life Movement

President Trump says he believes in exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother, just like Ronald Reagan did. But let’s be honest: life starts at conception, not at some later stage when it’s convenient for politicians to draw lines. Over 60 million abortions have been performed since Roe v. Wade in 1973—how can we say exceptions should be allowed? Every life is sacred, and the moment we allow these exceptions, we open the door for more killings. Allowing abortion in these cases makes it seem like some lives are worth less than others. Ain’t that true?

We need a real pro-life movement that doesn’t back down in the face of political convenience. Exceptions are a slippery slope, and we’ve seen this before. If the pro-life movement is to succeed, we need to be united on this front: No exceptions. Not for rape, not for incest, not for anything.

Why We Need a National Ban, No Exceptions

Trump has said he would leave the issue of abortion to the states, and while that seems reasonable on the surface, it actually just creates chaos. Imagine a country where women can cross state lines to get abortions—what’s the point of having any laws at all, then? Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, we’ve seen over 20 states adopt strict abortion laws. But still, there are places where abortion on demand is alive and well.

If life is sacred, then it’s sacred in every state, not just a few. That’s why a national ban is not just necessary—it’s moral. If we don’t act now, we’ll keep allowing thousands of abortions to happen every year. The pro-life movement needs to push for real laws, ones that hold across the nation, not just state by state. Leaving it to the states sounds nice until you realize how many lives are being lost in states with lax laws.

Time for Harsher Punishments—Let’s Get Real

Let’s not forget one thing: abortion is murder. And if we’re serious about that, then we need to act like it. Right now, the penalties for doctors performing abortions in some states are a slap on the wrist. Maybe a few years in prison, maybe just a fine. That’s not enough. If you take a life, you should face real consequences. It’s time we start pushing for life imprisonment for doctors and nurses who participate in abortions.

And let’s be real here: should the mothers who seek out abortions just walk away free? If we really believe life is sacred, then anyone involved in taking that life should face the full force of the law. Some people might call that extreme, but when we’re talking about saving lives, what’s extreme is allowing these killings to continue without serious consequences.

Kamala Harris can try to scare the public all she wants, but the facts speak for themselves. President Trump might support exceptions, but we know that any compromise weakens the pro-life movement. It’s time for us to stand firm and push for what’s right—a national abortion ban with no exceptions, and real punishments for those who break the law.

Because, at the end of the day, life is sacred. And if we don’t protect it fully, then what’s the point?

Let’s stop tiptoeing around the issue and face the truth: the time for half-measures is over.
