The Washington Post, that bastion of progressive thought, has once again thrust its agenda into the limelight with a heart-wrenching story about Brooke and Billy High. The story revolves around a Texas abortion ban that somehow “made” this young couple into parents of twins. The headline screams, “An abortion ban made them teen parents.” But let’s not be fooled by such dramatic rhetoric – the causal link here is about as murky as the swamp at midnight.
It’s clear that the author, Caroline Kitchener, is no friend of pro-life efforts. She casts a suspicious eye on a crisis pregnancy clinic that helped Brooke and her mother when they sought an ultrasound after the ban took effect. How dare a facility exist that doesn’t actively promote abortion? To Kitchener, that’s practically criminal.
However, despite the author’s apparent agenda, the story inadvertently paints a picture of the couple’s real-life joys and struggles. Billy, working diligently as an Air Force mechanic, proudly wears tattoos of his daughters’ names on his chest. He relishes fatherhood, while Brooke admits that she couldn’t fathom aborting her twins now. “Those are our babies, and they’re people,” she proclaims.
Despite the challenges, this couple’s journey shows us that parenthood isn’t a burden, but rather a blessing. They tackle their marital issues head-on, even admitting that thoughts of divorce have crossed their minds, only to be dismissed for the sake of their daughters. Their resolve to protect their children from the pain of divorce stems from Brooke’s own experience as a child of divorce.
But here’s the kicker. How does the pro-life movement respond to this story? Clearly, the mainstream media is using them as pawns to further their own narrative against pro-life legislation. Brooke and Billy, undoubtedly products of a culture that downplays the sanctity of life, provide the perfect quotes to fuel the pro-choice rhetoric. They believe that other girls like Brooke shouldn’t be “forced” into carrying unplanned pregnancies. Billy suggests that such laws “create not a good situation.” It’s no surprise that these teens’ views align with the media’s agenda.
The story shines light on another pro-choice propaganda strategy – magnifying the struggles of individuals affected by conservative legislation. It’s no different with stories about individuals facing barriers to “trans care.” The media seeks to manipulate emotions by showcasing those affected by laws, tugging at heartstrings to sway public opinion.
While Brooke and Billy’s story aims to cast them as victims, they unwittingly expose the beauty of life through their love for their daughters. Their existence defies the narrative, casting doubt on the mainstream media’s agenda. It’s a story of hope and resilience in the face of challenges, which, ironically, the media attempts to exploit for its own ends. Let us not be deceived – the sanctity of life triumphs over agenda-driven narratives, even if they’re crafted by The Washington Post.
