Planned Parenthood Official Won’t Tell Tucker Feelings about Aborting Baby with Detectable Heartbeat
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/14/2017 6:33:26 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

It was the most infuriating, heartbreaking, conversation on abortion this Insurrectionist has seen. On his Monday night Fox News show, Tucker Carlson asked Planned Parenthood Executive VP Dawn Laguens six ways to Sunday how she feels about aborting fetuses after five-and-a-half weeks, at which point the baby’s heartbeat can be heard.

But no matter how he framed it, Laguens refused to answer, hiding behind a series of canned responses about a women’s right to choose, etc. At one point, Tucker said, “I’m asking you a human question, and hope you’ll favor me with a human answer.”

She was kinda smiling during the whole exchange. How can anyone smile about abortion?

Look at her smile when Tucker opens up with “PP does perform a lot of abortions.”

She certainly had her agenda down pat. After researching Obama in 2007, one of the few votes I could find in the Illinois Legislature that he actually cast, was against BAIPA. I knew then he had no conscience. I am starting to realize that there are millions of Dems who have no conscience. This woman is one of them.

The baby’s brain activity also begins at about the same time as the heartbeat. While the heartbeat is a simple enough thing to measure, the brain activity is more significant.

Having an active nervous system means that the baby’s brain—its “central processing system,” if you will—is actively processing input from its body and the environment. That means that the baby is able to feel the abortion process.

I would love to see the abortionists pressed on the fact that the baby has the neurological capacity to feel the abortion, and press them on whether their profit is really worth encouraging women to get pregnant with and then to kill sentient babies. Although I am not certain if that can be expressed adequately using the fifth to sixth grade level of language that is typically used on TV.

I think many many many people are not moved by an abortion within 5 weeks.

I would have asked her, what are you personal feelings about a baby that is aborted at 12 weeks.

And

I would have asked her, what are some of the reasons for a woman to abort a baby at 9 months just prior to delivery.

She has a hard looking face
Most of the people in the abortion industry have faces to match their hearts

Bottom line is it is murder. If there is no abortion there will be a human being born. Life does begin at conception.

"that was a uniquely shallow conversation, Dawn"

Great line Tucker. I'll bet ole' Dawn would have no problem protesting against capital punishment of some sick, whacko who is about to meet old sparky up close and personal because he raped and murdered a 12 year old. Then she sees no problem in an innocent life going through capital punishment all for a womans right to choose....

I would predict Ole Dawn is also a Peeta Member, and is abhorred at the killing of animals.

She also used the phrase viable fetus. I believe when they say this they are referring to the fact that the baby could not live outside the womb. That is certainly true. My question to them would be how many babies that are born could live if someone (most of the times their mother) did not care for them? How is it an argument to say they could not live outside the womb? So what? It’s called a symbiotic relationship. It doesn’t mean that the baby is not living. It’s the same relationship the baby has with the mother for many years outside the womb as well...

yes, while there are PETA members that are against abortion, I’ve met many that say with a straight face that abortion is about a woman’s right to choose. It’s ridiculous to be able to hold the position that all of the animal’s lives are on par with human life and yet an unborn baby does not get that same level of concern as well.

I guess it’s leftist logic...

My explanation in regard to the abortion was always.

The legal definition of death is the absence of brain waves, ergo the presence of brain waves is the indication of life.

Because she’s evil with a dark heart and no moral compass to guide her. I’m not being hyperbolic - just realistic.

When you become a radical feminazi, you put aside your humanity. You willingly deny your normal feelings and instincts so as not to anger your fellow fang-tooth feminazis, who are easily led into hysterical rage.

You must protect your precious patriarchy-denying abortion, even if it means hiding that which makes you a woman.

Viability should mean little. Absent disease, trauma, malnutrition a mother at the end of term will give birth. In the entire history of the human race every human mother has given birth to a human being. That’s observable science. If we cannot know, not believe, when that entity becomes human, we know for certain if left alone it will be born human. Since it is the abortion worshippers who wish to stop that process, it is they who must prove scientifically that they are not ending a human life. That is what we must demand. Scientific proof that a human life is NOT being taken.
