Abortion activist Beth Vial helps women get abortions by providing financial assistance, arranging their travel and child care and assuring them that there is nothing wrong with aborting an unborn baby.
She complained in a column at Newsweek this week that the coronavirus pandemic, coupled with abortion restrictions, is making it difficult for women to get abortions.
“Coronavirus travel bans further complicate the problem. Patients could easily get stuck—either at home, without a clinic nearby, or in a new city with no way to get back after the procedure,” she wrote.
Vial has no scruples about promoting elective abortions, even though elective procedures have been temporarily stopped in many states to devote desperately-needed medical resources to people suffering from the coronavirus.
She claimed abortions are still needed, writing:
As the coronavirus spreads across the country, people are sheltering in place and canceling most or all non-essential outings, even doctor’s appointments. Abortion patients, however, aren’t afforded that luxury and now have to navigate a pandemic on top of an already restrictive web of laws.
Imagine trying to get to an abortion appointment without using public transportation while your city is in lockdown and you are without income.
Vial wished lawmakers would de-regulate abortions even more than they already are so that women could abort their unborn babies at home, rather than going to abortion clinics during the virus outbreak.
“I wish we had a robust telemedicine program, so patients could seek care from a provider from the comfort of their own home, without fear of contracting the coronavirus because they have to travel hundreds of miles to the nearest abortion clinic,” she wrote.
She slammed Texas and Ohio for ordering abortion facilities to close, along with a long list of other non-essential medical providers. Vial also criticized Republican lawmakers for ensuring abortion funding was not included in the emergency aid bill for the coronavirus.
She continued:
At a moment when people are in dire need of testing and treatment from this terrifying virus, when hundreds of Americans are dying, right-wing politicians are focused on banning abortion. They are willing to sabotage the health of the nation to score political points with anti-abortion groups. How is that “pro-life”? It makes me furious.
A board member of the Northwest Abortion Access Fund, Vial herself had an elective abortion when she was nearly 28 weeks pregnant. By that point, her baby was viable outside the womb and capable of feeling intense pain.
Though she could be providing real support to pregnant mothers and their unborn babies, she instead devotes her time to promoting the destruction of unborn babies’ lives. She is correct that pregnant mothers especially need more support during this time of crisis and uncertainty. But she is wrong about the solution. Abortions do not help women. They destroy their unborn babies’ lives and put their own at risk. Women and their unborn babies both are valuable human beings who deserve support and attention in this time of crisis. What our world does not need is more death and destruction.
Woe to this woman who aids in the murder and destruction of God’s creation!
They spelled her name wrong.
This whole situation can be used to win over the hearts of people on the fence.
Showing how ALL they really care about is murder and not the BS about freedom of choice or control of your own body.
The way I see it, killing a baby today or in a month when the quarantine is up shouldn’t make much of a difference.
What’s the rush?
Are they afraid that some women may decide to keep it after seeing how precious life is as a result of this virus.
Morgana you could do that. You can use what they said during the virus and reach and affect a larger audience.
I hope you don’t mind me mentioning your name!! But you are a down to earth person and that is what is needed.
I have no tongue for changing people’s minds with words but I know you do and I would donate to a blog or site you set up and wrote regularly on.
ciao
The problem advocates of abortion have is that there’s a spiritual death coming to those who refuse to repent.
If they were social distancing, how did they get pregnant?
Coronavirus is saving lives.
In 2016, the US had almost 12,000 abortions PER WEEK.
With the virus shutting down abortion clinics, in two weeks, the number of lives saved will be greater then the number of deaths from coronavirus - GLOBALLY.
We all should be doing this right now. I’m doing my best by posting these articles and keeping you all informed but everyone needs to work at it.
Share these! Share these on bookface, instagram, email, what ever form of eletronic social media you have! People are in their homes now so they be at the computer. Get the stories I’ve posted out there and circulating.
CU*T
There FIXED!
These women could walk by Dick’s Sporting Goods and get pregnant that is how much dick is dangerous them.
I’ve been praying for a spiritual revival in this country for a long time. Maybe this crisis and the suffering it has caused will be the beginning.
Vile works better
One of the “problems “ is, what if giving your child up for adoption becomes preferred over killing it? The whole objective of legalized abortion was to rid the world of “those horrible little brown people. “ ( The quote is from Margaret Sanger.)
I’ll be preaching to the choir on facebook as the only people that follow me are family and they are all pro life.
But I’ll inject it into whatever twitter conversations are trending right now.
And then i’ll check back for my hate mail tomorrow :)
“How is that “pro-life”? It makes me furious.”
Killing a living human that has no say in its fate and can do nothing about it - how is that “pro-choice”? It makes me furious.
‘Killing a living human that has no say in its fate and can do nothing about it’
the choice crowd makes no bones about the fact they consider an unborn child to have no human value at all; the ‘fetus’ in their view is nothing more than a parasite deriving nutrients from another’s body without the consent of that other person...
A Satanic Priestess that has to go a week without murdering a baby...how terrible.
But that "parasite" has human DNA different from that of the mother....not actually part of her body....a separate human being!!
