Episode Details

I once believed that the worst thing that could happen to this country was to have a Conservative Supreme Court. That was supposed to be the end of everything. I would scream those words into the abyss all through 2016 to anyone who didn’t want to vote for Hillary Clinton, “THE SUPREME COURT.”

I grew up on the Left, after all, and nothing scared us more than Christianity in our schools, in our corporations, institutions, and in our courts. If Trump won, he would appoint Conservative Christians to the highest court in the land, and that would be the end of Roe v. Wade, the end of the feminist movement, and women’s rights.

Well, it turns out, we didn’t need Conservative Christians to do that. The Left did it all on their own, leaving just one right in place, the right to terminate a pregnancy, or, if you prefer, kill our babies. We use soft language like “choice” and “terminate” as though that changes the reality.

Now that the Left has been assured that the pace of abortion did not slow down and women can use abortion like reproductive bulimia - have fun now, deal with the problem later - they’ve moved on to more pressing matters.

I don’t think abortion should be illegal. But you know what should be? “Gender-affirming care” for minors. That is the most grotesque example of soft language ever invented by my former side. Call it what it is - sterilization. Top surgery is a double mastectomy. Bottom surgery is castration.

In all the ways I feared religion and Christianity infiltrating our schools and institutions has now been left in the dust by a dangerous, fanatical, unstoppable cult that has left too many young men and women destroyed and mutilated in its wake.

What a fool I was. Now, I am so grateful for Conservative Christians. I’m so grateful to Donald Trump, who put them on the court. I am glad we lost, even if I didn’t know that in 2016. Now I do. Now I can see.

Because Hillary Clinton lost, we did not get control of the court. And thank God for that. Because if we had, there is no way the bill from Tennessee to ban “gender affirming care” would have been upheld.

Like everyone else on my former side, I was convinced Trump’s win in 2016 would end everything we held dear, especially the Supreme Court. We’d been fighting with the Right for years to get control of it. We watched Merrick Garland’s appointment obstructed, and we fumed.

After Trump won, we became an unhinged, hysterical, angry mob of women who felt it was our right to convict Justice Kavanaugh of rape in the court of public opinion.

And to demonize and depict Amy Coney Barrett as the Handmaid.

But what I know now that I did not know back in 2016 was that when a society excuses and allows for the young to be sterilized, that’s when the bottom drops out, whether it’s Eugenics or “gender affirming care.” I didn’t see the problem. I was comfortable with the soft language of the Left. We were the good people standing up for marginalized groups.

It took me years to realize just how insane the Left had become. But it’s one thing if it’s just about cancel culture, destroying Hollywood, comedy, art, and book publishing. It’s a whole other thing if we’re allowing irreversible harm to be done to the minds and bodies of children.

But thankfully, God invented Conservatives and they rose to do what we could not, just as they did back before the Civil War to end slavery and for the same reason — they believed it was morally wrong. Now, they are back to stop the Democrats from doing something morally wrong. It’s the Christian Right yet again that is on the right side of history.

I’m not a religious person, though I wish I could be. I imagine there is relief in that connection to something more powerful than yourself, and maybe that is what so many of these young people need, not “gender-affirming care.” This de-transitioner realized she was made in God's image, which helped her find he
