USA Today: Abortion a ‘Right’ With ‘So Many Unnecessary Obstacles’

newsbusters ^ | Katie Yoder

Abortion is a “right” is a claim often made by the media – and USA Today is no exception.

USA Today’s Editorial Board penned a piece entitled, “Abortion safety as a pretext: Our view” on Oct. 10. In it, the staff called abortion a “right burdened by so many unnecessary obstacles” and detailed how “abortion foes” are “chipping away” at Roe v. Wade’s “guarantee.”

From the beginning, the piece claimed, “States have every obligation to ensure that abortions are performed safely.” “But when states use safety as a pretext to put providers out of business,” the staff argued, “they make abortion riskier for all women and deny some a right.” (Babies not included.)

Pointing to Texas, the staff wrote how “an abortion has become almost meaningless for many women,” after downsizing from 41 abortion clinics last year to eight today. The staff blamed the change on the state’s “onerous regulations” that translate into “costly renovations and force providers to affiliate with hospitals.”

Among other concerns, USA Today warned, “Women unable to travel might turn to dangerous alternatives.” Or – gasp – they might rethink their choice to end a baby’s life.

With “abortion foes” “chipping away” at Roe v. Wade, “clinics are so burdened by restrictions that abortions are hard to obtain,” the piece whined.

The staff acknowledged the case of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell – but only to say “The industry itself and some states are guilty of failing to weed out bad actors.”

“If states are really interested in safety,” the piece continued, “they'd look to Maryland for instruction.” In Maryland, “regulators consulted with all sides and drew up new rules” after a botched abortion in 2010. “They included some hospital-like requirements, but only those that made sense.”

But to whom? The staff deduced, “The changes satisfied abortion foes and advocates alike,” from a New York Times piece. (“Satisfied” was a stretch. The one pro-life voice commenting on the regulations in the piece, Jeffrey D. Meister, the legislative director of Maryland Right to Life, merely said, “After 20 years of not having any regulations whatsoever, it is a step in the right direction.”)

Of course, the family of Jennifer Morbelli may not be satisfied with Maryland’s abortion regulations. The 29-year-old died as the result of a late-term abortion at Germantown Reproductive Health Services in 2013, as reported by none other than USA Today.

Still, there’s always hope: “Surely, at least one case is heading to the Supreme Court” as federal courts debate the constitutionality of “Texas-style restrictions,” the board wrote.

“When it arrives,” USA Today concluded, “the justices ought to recognize that a right burdened by so many unnecessary obstacles ceases at some point to be a right at all.” Huh. Tell that to Maryland gun-owners.

Since Texas’ clinic closures, the media have been in a huff, from The Daily Beast calling the move “draconian” to “Meet the Press” Host Chuck Todd criticizing the GOP for disliking all regulation but those on abortion clinics.

Why is killing a baby a “right”?

[Morgana]

You got me

[demshateGod]

Because might makes right.

[Morgana]

Because money changes everything.

[doc1019]

These abysmal human beings will face G_d some day ... and He will not be pleased.

[demshateGod]

“Chuck Todd criticizing the GOP for disliking all regulation but those on abortion clinics.”

So Chuck Todd is against regulations?

[demshateGod]

I posted essentially the same thing a few hours ago about Fudgepackers.

>> Why is killing a baby a “right”?

You’re close. A woman’s sense of liberty is defined by the right to kill.

Well... that’s what the Left is advancing.

[Prince of Space]

We should tell the liberals that we will give up our guns when they give up abortion. I’m sure we all know what their response will be.

[a fool in paradise]

Like owning a gun?

[theBuckwheat]

The right to keep and bear arms is a right with ‘So Many Unnecessary Obstacles’.

Liberals might have to choose which issue is more important, banning guns or banning abortion. This is because abortion is nowhere found or even hinted at in the Constitution or Bill of Rights while the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is explicit in the Second Amendment.

Liberals do not realize that every logical construction they devise to support their Abortion Sacrament becomes available to support the RKBA. While many constructions don’t apply, a few may.

My personal guess is that liberals are not presently aware of the risk they are taking, and when forced to choose between the two, would choose to defend the right of woman to abort her unborn child over the destruction of the RKBA. It should be plainly apparent now that the libertine lifestyle views conception of human life as an undesirable byproduct.

How did we get to the point in society where so many people are not willing to take responsibility for their actions?

[Fresh Wind]

Why is killing a baby a “right”?

Haven't you heard? It's in the Constitution.

Somewhere.

Fathers are not permitted to kill their children and Mothers are encouraged to kill those very same children, so much so that every citizen must fund the cost of killing the mother and father’s child, regardless of their religious beliefs or personal desires. Every citizen of the USA must also fund the spread of this evil throughout the whole world. Regardless of their personal disagreement with this evil, everyone is forced to participate in its propagation and implementation and execution.

A Mother’s right to kill her and the father’s child or children, trumps religious rights and father’s rights, of course. Mothers in the USA and many countries, like sodomizers, get special rights.

1.35 billion children killed by their mothers just since 1980. And that huge number is just the ones actually reported. As we know, some states in the USA do not report and many go unreported in all states and many countries throughout the world do not report the numbers of little boys and girls killed. And all the children that are killed by their mothers using over-the-counter abortion drugs are not reported, so, the 1.35 BILLION little boys and girls killed number is a very conservative number, indeed.

Abortion on demand is the most deadly evil in the world, throughout the entire history of the world. There is no evil in the world today, nor has there ever been, proportionate to the evil of abortion-on-demand.

More people have been killed, in just the last 34 years, than have been killed by all the world’s health epidemics and wars, throughout all the world’s history, combined - by their own mother.

The deadliest place in the world, by far, is a mother’s womb. The deadliest entity in the world, ever - mothers.

How’s that for the so-called “fairer sex,” nothing is genteel about this truth, eh!?

[ronnie raygun]

Everything is a right much like everything is racist, nice job rat party nice job!

[Raycpa]

I thought government regulations didn’t affect business.

Tennessee Voters:
No on 1.org is running a FALSE ad. Mom had cancer, was cured, got pregnant, cancer returns. STATE FORCES HER TO CARRY THE BABY, she dies, baby lives. Very EGREGIOUS LIE!

We are urging people NOT to vote for the RINO Governor Halsam, he will be our next Governor by default whether you vote for him or not, but it makes the passages of the Amendments easier if he is NOT voted for, the less votes for Gov, the less needed to pass the Amendments are needed. There are 4 Amendments, #2 is a NO VOTE.It curbs liberal judges. #3 stops a payroll tax from being imposed YES Vote.
#4 expand the lottery to orgs, which are not named. That one is up to your moral beliefs after you have read the amendment.

Amendment 1:
Shall Article I of the Constitution of Tennessee be amended by adding the following language as a new, appropriately designated section:

“Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion. The people retain the right through their elected state representatives and state senators to enact, amend, or repeal statutes regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to save the life of the mother.”

Pregnancy and chemo

Pregnancy is often possible during chemo, but it should be avoided because some chemo drugs may cause birth defects. Doctors advise women of childbearing age – from the teens through the end of menopause – to use birth control throughout treatment. If a woman is pregnant when her cancer is discovered, it may be possible to delay chemo until after the baby is born. For a woman who needs treatment sooner, the doctor may suggest starting chemo after the 12th week of pregnancy, when the fetus is beyond the stage of greatest risk. In some cases, termination of the pregnancy may be considered.
