FULL TITLE: Chilling video shows chief of staff affirming that Dem. congressman ‘does not believe in legal protection for females’ in the womb
The top staffer in Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan's office has agreed that his boss “does not believe in legal protection for females” who are inside the womb, a shocking new video reveals.
Yesterday, about a dozen members of Students for Life of America (SFLA) followed through with a visit to the Washington offices of Congressman Tim Ryan, a onetime “pro-life Democrat” who recently embraced abortion-on-demand.
Congressman Ryan was not available, they were told, but they had a meeting with Ryan's chief of staff, Ron Grimes.
The chief of staff, the most important position in a lawmaker's office, affirmed that his boss had changed his position definitively and had no concern for the rights of the unborn, of either sex.
When it comes to abortion, Ryan now believes that “the federal government cannot be the decisive decision-maker,” Grimes said in a portion of the discussion caught on video.
“That is no longer acceptable to Congressman Ryan, and he...simply disagrees with your position.”
When one young woman described how her mother had been pressured to abort her, Grimes responded that Ryan believes “it was her mother’s choice in that moment.”
Michele Hendrickson, SFLA Capital Area Regional Coordinator, said the message that sent to this young women, and many others who may have been aborted, is: “It’s OK that doctors could have taken your life, and that I might not be talking to you right now.”
Hendrickson, who is expecting a child, gave Grimes an ultrasound photo of her own 22-week-old unborn child, whom she has named Lucy, before the meeting. “He held this letter during our entire conversation glancing down at her picture as he spoke,” Michele noted.
Hendrickson asked, “Would you agree that Congressman Ryan does not believe in legal protection for females like Lucy?”
“Yes, that is correct,” he responded. Advertisement
Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, told Grimes, “That is very troubling.”
Grimes responded, “There's no way that I can soften it to make it more acceptable or more palatable.”

Hendrickson thought his response was remarkably cold-blooded and impolitic, even compared to campus abortion crusaders.
“I rarely have words prepared for a response like that,” Hendrickson wrote, “because, in my experience on college and high school campuses, even students who consider themselves pro-choice understand how truly gruesome a late-term abortion procedure is for the child.”
Hendrickson described meeting Grimes as “the biggest disappointment of the day.”
Death Eaters. They’re everywhere.
it’s simple. fetuses don’t vote.
I expect at some point we’ll have affirmative action in the womb, and gender-selective abortion may be outlawed. India has tried this, but it isn’t working; parents make a deal to get the abortion or simply discard the female child in a ditch.
God will not be mocked.
Ghouls
Once you say you can “chose” to kill your unborn child there’s no logical way to restrict that, other than by age of the fetus.
Although I still think they should make sex selection abortions illegal just to make people like this creep take a stand again unborn “women”.
ROP.
CLOSET MUZZIE!!
why would females deserve more protection then males?
shouldn’t everyone have some level of protection while in the womb?
shouldn’t the govt at least not encourage the killing the our children?
don’t we all have a right to LIFE... especially when in the womb?
He was for the murder of babies even when he said that he is pro life. Typical Democrat, liars.
