Just Common Sense | 136 | Solomon Speaks: Life, Law, and the Battle for the Unborn (Dr. Robert Solomon)

“After Roe v. Wade fell, the abortion industry didn’t die. It just moved to the mailbox and the internet.”

On this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and his wife Pat welcome Rev. Robert Solomon, Vice President of the National Black Pro-Life Union, for a frank conversation about the state of the pro-life movement after Roe v. Wade. They trace the shift from brick-and-mortar abortion clinics to abortion pills, expose the population-control roots of the abortion industry, and discuss how Obamacare is being used to subsidize abortion. Anchored in Scripture, they draw sobering parallels between slavery and abortion, warn about the advance of a godless, communist mindset, and call believers to action: prayer, bold truth-telling, and contacting elected officials to defend innocent life.

• Post–Roe Reality: The Fight Has Shifted, Not Stopped
  • Roe v. Wade being overturned did not end abortion; it pushed the battle to the states.
  • Pro-life work now must engage federal, state, and local levels.
• From Clinics to Pills: A New Frontline
  • Brick-and-mortar abortion clinics are declining, and abortion doctors are aging out.
  • The industry is moving aggressively to abortion pills:
    • Mailed through the U.S. Postal Service, even into states with strong protections.
    • Distributed through major retailers like Walmart, CVS, Walgreens.
  • Much of the battle will increasingly be online and in the mail, not just on clinic sidewalks.
• Abortion and Slavery: A Moral Parallel
  • Slaves were treated as chattel property; today, preborn children are treated as the property of the mother.
  • The 14th Amendment protects “persons” from being deprived of life without due process; the question is recognizing the unborn as persons.
  • Just as slavery divided and defiled the nation, abortion is now doing the same.
• Eugenics and Targeted Population Control
  • The roots of legalized abortion are deeply tied to eugenics and population control.
  • Certain populations were (and are) considered “undesirable” or “inferior”: black Americans, Jews, Native Americans, poor whites, disabled individuals.
  • Abortion, sterilization, and birth control were deliberately used as tools to reduce these populations.
  • Historically, black Americans moved from “asset” (as free labor) to “liability” (as competitors), and policy followed that mindset.
• Obamacare and Taxpayer-Funded Abortion
  • Obamacare included mechanisms that expanded abortion coverage, bypassing the Hyde Amendment.
  • Democrats fought hard to maintain subsidies so that taxpayers would indirectly fund abortion.
  • The shutdown battle is tied to whether subsidies for abortion-involved plans continue.
• National Identity at Stake: Toward Communism?
  • Open borders and refusal to deport dangerous individuals are seen as intentional destabilization.
  • Bringing in large numbers of people who do not assimilate is described as a way to change the nation’s character.
  • The warning is clear: without a moral and constitutional anchor, America heads toward a communist-style system with no real freedoms.
• Biblical View of Life in the Womb
  • Scripture clearly presents life beginning at conception.
  • God knows, forms, and calls individuals from the womb.
  • Jesus’ fierce protection of children (millstone warning) reflects God’s heart toward the defenseless and the young.
• What Believers Should Do
  • Pray and stay grounded in the Word.
  • Teach and defend a biblical view of life.
  • Support pregnancy centers and ministries that offer real help and alternatives.
  • Call and visit district offices of senators and representatives, especially regarding:
    • Abortion subsidies in Obamacare.
    • Regulation and restriction of abortion pill distribution.
  • Work toward making abortion not only illegal, but unthinkable.
