Florida has become the poster state for democracy in the USA. Recently, Governor DeSantis approved a law banning abortion after six weeks unless there are severe health implications for the mother.

Immediately, pro-abortion organizations sued, but the Florida Supreme Court upheld the law with one fascinating footnote: Florida voters will be allowed to choose what kind of abortion situation they want in next November's election.

That's exactly how the U.S. Supreme Court drew it up; each state will decide the abortion question.

Of course, that's unacceptable to leftwing zealots who have tied the existence-ending procedure into "rights." Privacy, reproductive, whatever. They believe the Constitution protects abortion without limits.

In states like New York and California, that view will prevail. Abortion for any reason at any time. President Biden supports the extreme position that allows an almost full-term baby to be terminated in a painful way. But most Americans reject that kind of extremism.

Long gone are the days when President Clinton stated that abortion should be "safe but rare." He felt that way because, apparently, he was uneasy about millions of fetuses not having the opportunity to be born.

It should be noted that Communist China and Nazi Germany both championed abortion to control the birthing process. Humanity is not a feature of those regimes, obviously.

Today, in America, abortion has become a political advantage for the Democratic Party. There is little discussion of humane options such as adoption. Abortion is undeniably a destructive medical procedure, which is why an overwhelming number of American doctors will not perform it.

In our deeply secular country, it should be left to the people to decide this very personal situation. If there is a judgment day after life, things will be sorted out justly.

Until then, Florida voters will have the chance to decide the moral climate of their state. It's the best we can do.
