At a time when President Donald Trump’s new nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court could influence the “next 50 years of what our country could really look like” — including overturning Roe v. Wade — Danielle D’Souza Gill argues that abortion is the “driving force” behind the Democratic Left’s all-out attack on Trump and America.
In her book The Choice: The Abortion Divide in America, released this week by Center Street/Hachette Book Group, D’Souza Gill, the daughter of New York Times bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza, argues that if Trump is reelected on November 3 then over the next four years there is a very good chance that the Supreme Court could move to a 6-3 majority, even a 7-2 majority, that could overturn the 1973 high court decision legalizing abortion in America.
Trump recently nominated conservative federal judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and her upcoming confirmation hearings beginning October 12 could significantly shift the balance of power on the court.
From the point of view of the pro-choice Left, “Trump signifies a reconstructed Supreme Court — and even a reconstructed America,” D’Souza Gill wrote.
Abortion is at the center of the values the Left has been trying to impose on the culture since the 1960s counterculture revolution, and now that “culture of great sex” and “doing whatever you want because you feel like it” is in jeopardy with Trump’s remaking of the judicial system that the Left has relied upon for decades to carry out their agenda, she says.
“I think the Left knows that President Trump doesn’t just influence the next four years, but really could influence the next 50 years of what our country could really look like, and they don’t want to have to live with that legacy,” D’Souza Gill told The New American in an exclusive interview.
Looking back at the 2016 presidential election, she says the biggest fear of the Left was that Trump would remake America’s courts and he did.
“He’s had a huge influence on our courts,” she says. “Even if we look at the (Brett) Kavanaugh situation, the Left tried to make it about the #MeToo movement, but even Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyer, Debra Katz, said that Roe v. Wade is part of what motivated Christine. I think we even saw that with protests with The Handmaid’s Tale and things like that — it was clearly about Roe v. Wade.
“Looking now even at (Trump’s) nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, the fear from the Left is that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. I think that is what is fueling their anger about her nomination. So, I think that this abortion issue really does boil below all these controversies that are going on today, especially the ones that we see the biggest heat from in the news right now.”
In the book, she argues the Democratic Left has become radicalized on abortion, viewing it no longer as a necessary evil, but a positive good, and consequently they have legitimized a form of mass killing that dwarfs the deaths caused by cancer, smoking, homicide, terrorism, and war.
About 60 million babies have been aborted in America since Roe v. Wade.
“The reason I call it the greatest form of mass killing is that when we can see the baby on the ultrasound, we can hear the heartbeat,” she says. “We can see that they release the same stress hormones (during an abortion) that we do when we’re under duress. So, when a baby is going through an abortion, they release hormones like cortisol, which is what we do when we’re in pain.
“I think that we can also see the fact that this is just about the early points of pregnancy. This isn’t just about when the heartbeat starts. This is about nine-month abortions, and that’s what legal in New York and seven other states. We’re talking about points of viability and after when the baby can live on its own outside the womb. So, I do think it’s the greatest form of mass killing of our time and, unfortunately, I think many people are afraid to call it (the pre-born baby) what it is, which is a human life.”
