I never use the term “pro-choice” but always use the term “pro-abort” to designate those who are perfectly fine with the unborn having no legal protection from contract killing in the womb. Here is an example of why I do so:
Melissa Clouthier, a conservative blogger, attended the panel and reported on how one member urged attendees to applaud women who had killed their unborn children in abortions:
In an act of public bullying, one of the three speakers, Darcy Burner of Washington (the others being Elizabeth Warren and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii), asked women who had had an abortion to stand up in front of other attendees. It was difficult to estimate the number of women as they were sprinkled through out the audience. They stood alone while Burner admonished the attendees to hold their applause.
Then Burner asked the others seated in the audience to stand and give these women a standing ovation. The audience complied enthusiastically. I sat during this spectacle.
Burner said,”If you are a woman in this room, and statistically this is true of about 1/3 of the women in this room, if you’re a woman in this room who has had an abortion and is willing to come out about it, please stand up.”
She continued, “Now, if you are willing to stand with every woman who is willing to come out about having had an abortion, please stand up.” Nearly everyone stood.
Burner said, ”This is how we change the stories in people’s past. We need to make it okay for women to come out about the choices they make.”
The left will say that they’re not pro-abortion, they’re pro-choice or they’re pro-women. It was clear, though, that abortion itself was elevated as something good and something to be celebrated. The speaker and the audience was honoring women who had an abortion as though the action was an objectively good thing.
Go here to Lifesite News to read the rest. To many on the Left abortion isn’t evil at all but a positive good. The pro-abort fanatic Darcy Burns is seeking the Democrat nomination for Congress in the Washington First District. If she gets the nod in the August 7 primary, in the Fall she will face John Koster, a pro-life Republican. Here is his policy statement on abortion:
My 100% pro-life voting record is a testament to the commitment I have to the culture of life. Our Declaration of Independence states that our unalienable rights include “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” and “That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men.” Therefore, it is the express job of government to protect all innocent human life.
Pro–lifers who have any loose change might want to donate to this race to ensure that Darcy Burns has plenty of time to celebrate the slaying of an unborn as a private citizen.
So it’s not enough to love the sinner and assure them of God’s mercy if they turn to Him. No, we have to pat them on the back and say, “Good job!”
Just like the militant homosexual activists u cannot just love them as people u have to embrace NO celebrate their way of life.
I find strange that some people think that there is no more slavery in America when loads of sex-slaves arrive on US shores from lots of different places.
I have trouble to call anyone pro-abortion within any specific context in which they are willing to look honestly into a mother’s eyes and tell her that the best “assistance” they can provide is to reach inside of her and kill her child. While there may be one or two in the world that are that callous, I suspect most are merely misinformed or addicted or scared into their support of abortion within that specific context.
However, when it comes to endorsing a pro-abortion policy. When it comes to funding non-abortion services at an abortion facility vs. a non-abortion facility, they prefer funding the abortion facility because it might cover the overhead costs of abortion. When it comes to enact their supposed principle of choice, they deny other choices and even shame women for having children. When it comes to trying to create moral and theological defenses for the murder of humans. When it comes to creating incentives and legal protections for motherhood and children, they would rather privilege abortion. There are many proven cases of those that pro-abortion. Again, perhaps it’s merely misinformation or fear or their own addictions. We’re all sick from original sin. Most of us in shame, some others openly and in positions of influence to lead the littlest ones to sin. These people are not pro-choice, but pro-abortion.
My beloved Americans, now that you have joyfully elevated the mass murder of the unborn to a “Religion”, tell me; if this goes on for the next 25 years, where will your population stand in comparison to the rest of the World Population?????
Why do you conceive and then kill your own children???? Why not just ensure no conception takes place when you are indulging in your sexual gratifications???? At least that way, you would have committed only One Sin. But to copulate and then kill what you have brought to life makes you appear totally callous to the extreme. May God have Mercy on America.
