“Pro-Choice” Activist: “I Love Abortion,” “Don’t Want it Rare”
Life News ^ | 3/14/12 | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 03/14/2012 4:10:05 PM PDT by wagglebee

A pro-abortion activist writing at one of the leading pro-abortion web sites is admitting what many the pro-life movement has always known but what leading defenders of abortion refuse to admit. Until now.

Jessica DelBalzo, an activist writer from Flemington, New Jersey who has written for numerous progressive web sites, puts her extreme pro-abortion views on display at RH Reality Check, where she candidly admits in a headline, “I Love Abortion: Implying Otherwise Accomplishes Nothing for Women’s Rights.”

“I love abortion. I don’t accept it. I don’t view it as a necessary evil. I embrace it. I donate to abortion funds. I write about how important it is to make sure that every woman has access to safe, legal abortion services. I have bumper stickers and buttons and t-shirts proclaiming my support for reproductive freedom. I love abortion,” DelBalzo declares.

The pro-abortion activist categorically opposes even the “safe, legal and rare” mantra that pro-abortion politicians like Bill Clinton have used to appear to be more moderate or mainstream on abortion and that even former NARAL president Kate Michelman used to make her organizations position appear less polemic.

As Delbalzo writes, “And I bristle every time a fellow activist uses a trendy catch-phrase or rallying cry meant to placate pro-lifers. The first of these, “Make abortion safe, legal, and rare!” has been used for decades as a call for abortion rights.”

“Safe and legal are concepts I fully support, but rare is something I cannot abide. I understand the theoretical mindset: it is better for a woman to prevent an unwanted pregnancy than to bear the physical and financial burden of an abortion. While my own abortion involved very little pain and a minimal financial expense, one which my ex-boyfriend was willing to share with me, even I can admit that using condoms or the pill is preferable to eight weeks of nausea and weight gain,” she writes. “However, there is no need to suggest that abortion be rare. To say so implies a value judgement, promoting the idea that abortion is somehow distasteful or immoral and should be avoided. Even with affordable, accessible birth control, there will be user errors, condoms that break, moments of spontaneity. The best contraceptive access in the world won’t change the fact that we are merely human and imperfect in our routines.”

She also admits: “Similarly, I’ve heard reproductive rights activists claim that “no one likes abortion,” in an attempt to find common ground with anti-choicers. While it may be true that no one likes the physical act of having an abortion (any more than she may like her yearly mammogram, life-saving chemotherapy, or temporarily uncomfortable dental surgery), a great many women like abortion itself.”

With CNN and Gallup polls showing a majority of Americans want all or most abortions made illegal, this puts the pro-abortion activist in a tiny minority of Americans who want abortion legal throughout pregnancy for any reason without apology.

“I Love Abortion,”

Sounds like a real witch. Murderous hags from hell and they want to drag as many people down with them.

An abortion activist that admits the truth of the pro-abortion position? The “safe, legal, and rare” meme never makes sense when they campaign for more abortions. She’s at least logically consistent, horribly immoral, but logically consistent.

The murderous lovin’ ‘Beazebulbo’ better enjoy her ‘heaven’ here on the topside of the terra ferma cause she ain’t going up yonder unless that dark heart repents of the evil.

New bumper stickers recently seen on her car:

“Child sacrifice rocks!”

“Molech needs your baby so give it to him!”

“Abortion: love it. Post-birth abortions? Can’t wait!”

“Cancer and abortion link? Who cares. I live only for today and today I need an abortion!”

That is why I always ask, why are abortion lovers themselves never been aborted? The ones who love abortion so much love it because they hate themselves and wish they had been aborted by their mothers

Have you noticed that everyone that is for abortion has already been born?

Also, have you ever noticed that most pro-abortion activists don't ever have to worry about having an unwanted pregnancy?
