Irony: Abortion Leaders Condemn Trump for Not Recognizing MS-13 As People

Cecile Richards, former President of Planned Parenthood, and Ilyse Hogue, head of the abortion advocacy group NARAL, both had harsh words for President Trump Wednesday over his comments that MS-13 “aren’t people. These are animals.”

Trump's remarks were widely taken by many in the media to be referring to all illegal immigrants. While Richards, NARAL, and Planned Parenthood all seemed to be interpreting the remarks to mean all illegal immigrants, the full context of the remarks seems to show that the president was referring to the violent MS-13 gang.

Richards, the recently retired head of the nation’s largest abortion provider, called on the president to do some “serious self-reflection.”

Planned Parenthood, the organization that performed 321,384 abortions over this past year according to their latest annual report, denounced Trump's remarks as "hateful."

NARAL denounced the “dehumanizing, racist rhetoric.” The abortion advocacy group’s head, Ilyse Hogue, claimed the remarks put the country in “extremely dangerous territory.”

While these abortion leaders are clear on the humanity of MS-13 gang members, they are a little hazy on when that humanity begins.

Cecile Richards claimed once in an interview that the question of when life begins is not “relevant to the conversation” of abortion but, when pressed, said that “for her” life began at delivery.

“For you, when does life start? When does a human being become a human being?” she was asked by Jorge Ramos.

“I'm the mother of three children,” she told him. “For me, life began when I delivered them.”

Ilyse Hogue argued in an op-ed for CNBC that the conversation about when life begins “belongs with our scientists, our clergy, and our families,” and also claimed that life beginning at conception “goes against legal precedent, science, and public opinion.” Hogue did not venture her own opinion of when life begins.

Some on Twitter called out the irony of abortion groups denouncing "dehumanizing" rhetoric.

And people wonder where hitler recruited his SS, gestapo, and brownshirts from.

The NAZIs would have a field day with the American left, if the NAZIs were still around (which judging by the actions of the left).

This pathetic spin by the left will end up biting them on the ass come November.

Trump should double down and enjoy watching them self destruct.

Seems to? It was fully clear and obvious. That's why there is some backtracking now: because it was utterly unambiguous that MS-13 was the subject.

It’s not so much that MS-13 are people, but, more specifically, it’s that MS-13 are the demonrat’s people.

Among other things, supposedly they do... ah, “contract work”, so to speak, for the demonrats, or so goes the rumor.

And, if seen from that point of view, it’s why you see the people you’d expect to see now publically coming to their defense.

Just two “Families” working together in mutual benefit toward common goals.
